Thank you
The car took about an hour or two. It's a heck of a lot easier to mess one up to look bad than to fix one up to look good Wink!
If you were referring to the picture that was Photoshopped, that took about 20-30 minutes. I was fortunate to have the same angle in both pictures. I pasted one pic over the other adjusted the size and color a bit to match the background and erased averything that was not needed.

Here's a bit of a shortcut. You can take a picture of a car in your driveway for example and then a picture of a diecast in the same position and paste it over the real car. It still takes a bit of cleaning up, but it may save time in the long run. I hav eeven used flashlights or a desk lamp to get the light angle correct.
