I’m trying to improve my miniature picture-taking skills.  Here’s a pic of a Games Workshop River Troll done with the mini inside a light-box.

The light-box is just a cardboard box with three sides mostly cut out, creating windows in each side, and then white tissue paper taped over those windows.  You cut a rectangular strip of posterboard (in this case I used white) and curve it inside the box to provide a background.  The lights go outside the box, the tissue reflects the light around inside the box.  You stick the mini in, snap the pic.  I think it’s an improvement!

Here’s one for sale on Amazon: link.  My home-made one cost about five dollars for the white tissue paper (gift wrapping tissue) and a couple bucks for the posterboard.

My brother Michael has a new cooperative play scenario for us, “Looting the Looters”. We played this scenario with five players over the holidays, and Michael has played it with his gaming group as well. It is quite a bit of fun!
