Nice, is that Nemesis Prime? I had to look him up with advanced search! I don't suppose you'd be willing to build yourself a photo booth, would ya? =)

Wouldn't be opposed to it so long as it was affordable and didn't involve any power tools larger than a dremmel.

If you ca find or provide me with directions I'm game. btw, my cam is only 3.2 mp so even with a light box they won't be mad stellar.

Here's a thread with various how-to's:
<!-- m -->http://www.shmax.com/forum/index.php?topic=115<!-- m -->

As I understand it, you won't need anything fancier than some white foam core, tape, and some easily positionable lights. Oh, and a tripod if you want to do long exposures, which several folks have found to be pretty key. Mileage may vary. I don't know if a 3.2 mp is any worse than a 7 mp camera when you consider that the average image we use here on the site is no longer than 800 x 800. Good luck!

Well I'll try and scrape up the time this coming week to dig up materials and... time... I don't keep much of anything in-box but I can at least provide loose pics. I'll keep you posted!

Still working on that lightbox thing. Instead of creating a lightbow I think what I'll do is simply buy some white fabric in place of the red I am using in this included shot. The lighting in my house is pretty good so it should do me pretty well. We'll see how it goes.



The red cloth tinted my photo pretty bad. It took some photoshopping to get out and as you can see (maybe you can't but I can) it didn't all come out. so much for night  photos... I'm hoping the white cloth and another light source will fix this.

Yeah, yeah... not a TF but it was my first...

Hi Hellscream, those photos are actually very nice--I would say the lighting is just about perfect, and really the only thing you're missing is the white background. I still recommend making the box over using fabric, however. Any kind of fabric will have texture, and all those little nooks and crannies, however small, will get picked up, especially in a sharp, high-resolution photo like we use here. Or it might be okay, if the fabric you use is really high-grain. But really, a box is the way to go. I made mine from a single piece of foam core, which you can buy from any art or office supply shop for a few bucks. I can fold it up and tuck it away when I'm not using it, and it's also nice because it has sides on it, which block out reflecting light from things like a red bed spread, and you can also clip lights onto them.

It would be awesome if you really got set up and could start contributing photos! You may have noticed the parts database that has cropped up over the last week or so--we're in desperate need of photos for those parts!

Just got this reprolabelled not long ago. I'm awaiting the labels for Dreadwind and then they'll be set. These guys have been a long time coming for me
