Tamiya photo booth

[Fatboydim]

Hi, I'm looking for some advice about the Tamiya photo booth.

I like the idea that it's portable, but is it worth the money.

Thank you for your help.

I've had a quick goggle and to be honest no, you could probably get one cheaper on the big E of make one looking at whats there

Thank you Colin. I will have a look on ebay.

I recall seeing plans one one of modeling site for a photo booth made out of foam core board- probably would cost less than £10. I'll see if I can find it again?

PS- found it at Cybermodeler http://www.cybermodeler.com/special/photobooth.shtml. The materials don't look too expensive and if you can build a model kit, you certainly can make one yourself.

Depends on what size you need;

a 40x40 cm light tent will cost you under £8

This will do up to a 1/48th fighter aeroplane

for larger stuff 60x 60 and up to 1m x 1m cubes are available.

They all fold down and are very light weight.

I use a 50x50 cube

Thank you louiex2 & Black Knight, both of those are well worth thinking about.

I liked the idea of the Tamiya studio, but I wondered what the quality was like.

But both of your ideas won't break the bank. Thanks again.
