OP, where are you located? It may make more sense to rent a strobe kit and pass the cost onto your client. Seriously.
As everyone else said - DIFFUSION... Now, you need to play around with this. I would use the diffusion panel with one head behind it, and a big bounce card on the other side with a naked head (too diffuse = too flat1 - everything in moderation!) Outside you were getting all sorts of errant light from the earth and the sun, which is a very harsh source, regardless if you're key light was through the diffusion panel.
Balance your sources - perhaps add a bit of CTO gel to your key or kicker to add some spectral difference. It takes some time to perfect that, but it can really make stuff pop.
Can't wait to see your examples!
