Continuing my self appointed task of plundering the internet for anything
which may be useful here is a nice light tent this sort of thing is available on e-bay or for astronomical prices in this country

Or this one http://www.stevesphotoshop.co.uk/lig...0cm_small.html
The balls can be used to make hides incidentally

Hi Amber,having just bought a number of card busting items there are some things which are useful occasionally and if you can make use of or even improve some of these DIY items
you could save money and have fun.The light tent for instance is a must for e-baying items
So if I can find something useful to one person or ten I will "blue peter" it

Excellent.

Some great stuff in here. I want to get hold of a light tent and to be honest, being a bit lazy i'd rather buy at a reasonable price than make it

Now all i need are some decent lamps - trying to find something suitable for this is a nightmare. Any ideas appreciated. I've tried the DIY shops, Argos, Robert Dyas etc and am struggling to find something that will put out enough light and is flexible enough to use indoors.
