Very nice work, Gary. I don't think you could have done much better. I don't know what it is about taking models of photos outdoors that makes them look more real. I don't think it is just the placement of shadows. Something about the spectrum and intensity of natural sunlight is difficult to reproduce using light bulbs or camera tricks. That's probably why light bulb manufacturers sell different bulb types for different effects, and why there is competition to produce the better quality light. I use "daylight" fluorescent tubes in my layout room, and while they are nothing close to "daylight" they are brighter and balance the colors better than the yellowish incandescent bulbs I had in there before.
