My tank stash is almost complete!



All I need is a Hobbyboss Panzer 38 (t) Ausf D and a Finemolds Type 89B I-Go

Nice Choice.Tempted myself to get a Char

Bit the bullet and bought a (relatively) cheap light box. When taking photos of models up to now, I've just been using bland backgrounds, eg: cardboard, white paper, etc, but not really happy with them, so a light box could be a nice upgrade, we'll see.
Got it off Amazon, Its a fold up one, bit like one of those festival tents that curls up into a small circle.
Its just over 24"x"24" (600+x600+mm) and I think its 24" (600mm) high too.
Comes with various backgrounds, white, black, blue, green.
The front and top had openable velcro panels.
Comes with two LED light strips.

Looks good Peter, I’m looking for to seeing some of your pictures when you’ve tried it out 👍

I used the lights from an old one of these to illuminate my spray booth.
They do work reasonably well, few pitfalls which i will leave you to discover and overcome

I don't usually post on this thread, but I feel a shout out is due to Richard48 , the very nice chap who sent me all of this booty as a thankyou for some 3D printing I did for his Phantoms project


it's WAY out of proportion for the work I did, but I'm very grateful, and you will certainly some of these appearing on this forum at some stage
