Don, it's a fantastic thread you've started.
I didn't know about this till yesterday. Thanks to Duncan for guiding me here.

From your post #17, one observation and a suggestion: To get a proper reflection, a glass is not enough. You get double reflections because of double surface. Glass can be painted matt black to avoid second reflection.

That's exactly what I had done to shoot this BMW 1:18 model.

Mercedes Benz 1:18 model was shot on a black acrylic sheet. Only problem with acrylic is they get scratched very easily.

I haven't kept any shot setup pictures to explain but I'll start a new thread on this with my drawings.

Till such time let me read this thread and learn.
