While waiting for HPO's model to be finished
, I propose you to:
- 1- Read again what's have been said before on the possibly shadows inconsistencies on Raj's photos, and especially Spf33 great study here, and Torvald's works here, on OMF.
- 2- In order to try to recreate the exact conditions of Raj's shoots last year, we need to know, HPO, the place were you lives and use to try your model, in order to gives you the same sun elevation and appropriate hours.
The problem is how to test it with the same pole configuration?
Maybe you will need to create a pole model? 
Any idea about his height?
The main problem, as we all know it, is this:

But as for your questions, ....the place where I live,...hmm I don't know if I but that on a public forum

, but The Netherlands is just a small country anyway, so in the south part it is.
Creating a pole model

, that would be fun, but it will be very small then, and what about the camera setup with such a small thing? (the pole that is) Just let it float in the air near the camera on a long stick?
And what my biggest concern is, is to get the model high enough

, so it catches enough ambient light but also have the abbility to adjust the pitch and the jaw.
