You can get yours at your local photography store or even at Amazon at incredible prices but in this post I will show you how can you create your own light box home made without spending practically nothing.
First we will need an empty box of a proper size for shooting Figma figures preferly. I used one of the many packing boxes I got from Otacute or Hobby Search.
Remove the sides and top of the box leaving a 2" aprox. margin. You can use scissors or a pen knife taking all precautions. We dont want to lose a finger in the process.
Take some semi-transparent paper and cover the box holes you just made. We can stick a piece of white paper as a background.
Next we will need some lamps. I used 2 desktop mini lamps that I bought at US$10 each.
Finally we have our light box done perfect for figure photography and it's time to test it.
Lights! Camera! and...
Here is a sample picture using the light box. More pictures in the next post.

I made my light box using the same method, but I can't seem to get the background pure white.
@Nopy: It depends of the paper you are using as background. I suggest a glossy paper ot photographic paper. This kind of paper is a little more reflective.
