For all you 700th scale builders, this would be a useful tool...

Check out the magnifying glass tool on the table photo! I'd offer some serious coin for that!

That was a pretty neat set up.

Hmm, leave it to Mr. Tamiya....

I have something similar to this set up for portable shots, in a soft, fold up style...the thing works great, but I have one complaint, the backdrop...it's a two sided, blue/gray, but it's fabric....which the fabric texture shows up at times in close-ups of small parts, and can be a bit distracting, but it's definitely do-able...thanks for sharing Mr. Portela!

I like how compact it is, thats a big plus. I've been looking at different set-ups for something similar to that.

I need one for home, but will build something for there.

It would be nice to have something portable to have just in case you find something that needs a killer picture taken.

Thanks for passing that along!

It's only $136.02.

I wonder how hard it would be to make that? Would you need special diffuser fabric?
A little investigation is needed.

I forgot Wal-Mart had those and that is my second home. I almost spend as much time there as my wife and she worls there.

For building one I had seen a tutorial about using PVC pipe and a white cloth, something like t-shirt material. I'll see if I can dig that link up.
