i have looked on the tube and found a decent vid, it says to make it out of an old box but i have some spare wood laying around so im gonna build it with that (im not bad with a saw and a drill lol ).

the one i looked at said to use paper but i was wandering if there was anything abit more permanent that would be better

My 'de-lux' light box is made from a large cardboard box (90x90x90);
Windows cut in three sides then covered with thick tracing paper;
Thick white cardboard to line the inside (back and bottom) to give a smooth gradient.

I bought a portable halogen light from B&Q (the type you would use when decorating) and stand it on a tall box that was used to deliver some flowers for my wife.

Works an absolute treat and cost about £15 (not counting the flowers).
