Hi Rick,
Looks great. The lighting on your models is great. I'd be interested to see a picture of how you set up the model for taking these photographs. The setup I use is somewhat crude and I get mixed results. For mw, getting the lighting to come out the way I want is the hardest part. I like to use a bright halogen shop light because of its intensity and color balance but often the shadows are too harsh. I've experimented with using pieces of white paper opposite the model from the light to bounce a little light back to the dark side to make it balance with the bright side. You have a great balance in the lighting on the bright and dark sides and wondering if you do something similar?
