Yes, as I mentioned - I've made them before. It's pretty easy using white construction paper, actually. I haven't made a more permanent lightbox, though. What fabric and support structure did you use @Brooko?
Or if you used an online guide, I'd appreciate a link

I just used a collapsible file storage box.  Cut out two windows (If I make another one I made a top window)
 
White heave card for the backdrop. Then a fine white lace type fabric for the light diffuser.
 
Doesn't make a bad job for a first attempt.  A lot easier for close ups.  I did use a couple of how-tos from youtube - but didn't bookmark them.  They're all pretty similar anyway.
 

 

 

 
Seems to doa  pretty good job - just getting the white balance consistent is hard sometimes.  That is the bit I need to work on a lot more.

Looks good, Brooko. Can't you just adjust WB in post processing?

(and yes I know it's better to get WB right in camera, but photo software is soooo good these days)

What are they?

Nice pic of your AK100 by the way. I keep hovering over the AK120 buy button. I can get one for $1499 CAD right now.

Thanks, good sir. Picked up one of THESE a couple of weeks ago. Photos taken with iPhone, but the light box does wonders!

If I can only make this work with my counter top "signature" background, I would be all over it

But for now, will continue using countertop in the evening with all those over-head lights reflecting in my pictures and taking snap shots with my $150 Canon digital elph

  Because I always end up burning the food, I'm only allowed in the kitchen to "cook" my reviews...  And as previously stated "disclaimer", I have nothing to do (or afford to buy these appliances) - it came as part of "foreclosure" package, and probably the "reason" why house ended up in foreclosure with previous owners...
