I used to do something similar as a kid
but not this time, I used a stainless steel sheet and dragged that outside as the base (trying to get some sort of reflections of the sky). This model has one of those clear plastic stands, now this is a first for me as I don't photoshop my photos (I'm normally happy with any PP that can be done in Lightroom), but I used gimp to remove the models stand. I tried to angle the camera and the plane to hide the stand but couldn't get that to work, so gimp it was.
