EDIT: Ok. I've taken the liberty of putting this car, which was modified by Kepli to look presentable  .
Thanks to Kepli. I just took it from another tutorial so other members can benefit from this if they use the "search" function.

The shadow is cropped, but more importantly, the scale is wrong. If this
object is meant to be in battlemap scale, it should conform to the rule that
200 pixels = 5 feet (or 40 pixels equals one foot).
In other words, this car is only a few feet long.
It's a great car, and I hope you can get it posted at the right scale.

I agree with Heruca ... nice looking car, but the scale is off. Better to post a slightly bigger version of something than a smaller version. We can scale down without loss of quality, but not up

Oh, yeah. You definitely need to cut out all the white around the car to make
that area transparent.

For some reason I can't check that option in photoshop when I try to save as a .png file.
I'll post a bigger version so that whoever wants to participate can do so.
SoP.

You have to make it transparent yourself SoP. There are a few tutorials around here on other people's sites. I believe JDale, Bludragn and MetaJock each have one ...
I short, you need to select the white and make sure you have a transparent background when you delete it
I could post a simple tut on that if you like. Just for easy pieces like this car.

I would like that actually if you could. I'd like to give something for a community from which I've taken so much.

Here's another car.
I've added transparency and made it bigger. The shadowing is still bad though.
EDIT:
Back to the drawing board.

Ouch ...
You need to add transparency and after that a shadow. This looks like it has been done the other way around.
I'll create a quick tut now
