IMHO he makes a land model where an action is going to be taken. He seems to be working on a replic of water.

That is definitely a sand mold, keying pin holes are visible.

There is most likely a series of photos taken so other photos might give a clue.

Who can ID the engine in the photo?

A truck or prime mover engine?
