I decided it was time to improve my gun photos... so I wanted a light box.
I went out to the local hardware store and purchased a big tupperware thingy that you can store clothes in, etc... it was a clear plastic color. I went to my brother's house... to use his tools... cut open the main area... and frosted the rest of the box using sandpaper.
I also went to the local paper store and picked up some thick paper in different colors... green, black, gray, navy, and red... to use as backgrounds.
I also had these three lamps from Home Depot...
And Voila!
This is my first BLUED S&W revolver: the 28-2 Highway Patrolman. 6in barrel. Pinned & recessed. Locks up pretty tight. It's a beauty. Oh, and the case coloring on the hammer and trigger (hammer especially) are FANTASTIC. Very vibrant.
It was DIRTY as balls when I got it... had to spend about an hour and a half just cleaning. It was obvious that the previous owner loved shooting it... but definitely hated cleaning it.
And here are the photos of the 28 using the new light box! Let me know what you think.
