  • is that a girl

  • is the paper like wax paper or what? not sure what exactly I should be putting up as the paper on the sides. But yeah thanks for the cheapest easiset one to make I've seen yet. all others need like sheets and pvc pipe and stuff

  • @SteamTitan it simply has to be some kind of milky surface that breakes the light to soften it.

  • You need pure white ligh, Shouldent use yellow ones. But nice booth. :)! thanks.

  • @Number1GamerAsh if you have a good camera, it can compensate that with the light settings. you can see actually in the video how my camera adjust the light from the yellow to white light.

  • This is an excellent example of a functional and cheap light box. transparent paper helps to diffuse the light spectrum, helping to remove shine on the miniatures from direct light, it also allows you to use different coloured paper on the side (commonly known as a screen or a filter) so that you can achieve various lighting effects inside the box .. such as creating moonlight shadows using blue light, or a hellish type feel by using red lights etc. Nice work Alexandra, thanks for sharing
