I posted a shot of this van some time ago together with an old car. This time I chose the van alone and worked on the background (window frame and cill ) to simulate semi abstract windows and doors, which I thought would go with an obvious toy, rather than a too realistic scene. Be interested in your thoughts.

You could do with a large white reflector in front to bounce light back into this side of the model. Move it back and forth and you will see the effect, but as is, the van isn't lit well enough.
In ps, you also need to de focus the 'doors and windows' and maybe make them a duller colour like the background. Just so they look more in keeping with their position in the picture.
Also, maybe consider using matte paper or card, as the shiny surface is a bit off-putting, as are the marks on it.
Not sure exactly what you're trying to do though, make it look semi-real, or obviously a toy, but the lighting needs to be better.
