This is great! I’d say you stand a good chance of winning for sure :yes:
Excelent job! Have you done any real scale modeling?
May I suggest a few things? Iv’e been making scale models for years, my dad has been making them since he was young.
Your just missing a few tools.
Like these
here is a pic of a more hard core modeler. You could throw in some more items in the background. Like brush paint, glue A cutting board on the desk etc…
I think that would be more realistic. But you could leave it as is and keep the impression of it being a diecast model.
You are totally right Terminator. I was going to create all those things like glue, brushes, paint, files etc but simply didn’t have time. Thanks for the references, perhaps I will create some additional details and render it again…
Oh lol! this was one of the entries I was talking about when I said I wouldnt win
Really nice entry, hope you win too 
what detailed model? I love this cars. Where did you find such a great dust&scratches for postpro? Thanks for info
Your welcome, either way it looks great!
UPDATE
After few suggestions I’ve decided to add some additional models to this scene.
I hope I didn’t exaggerate this time.

Great job … now it looks more realistic scene
Nice job
yeah, that’s right. Much better now. This one “tells a story” clearer, don’t you? 
anyway the first render was awesome too. 
Great!!! :eyebrowlift:
that old photo render shows some super detail and is pretty realistic you could fool some people. +5 awesome work
Wow! i love the attention to detail, you have bits of dust in the air floating around above the car, nice work
That looks so much better! The tools and accessories look great.
haha very good! I like the car!!!
Very good work. Really love the lighting and all the texture !
