It looks good with many scale cars and gives a lot of control.

I have a lot of learning to do with it, it is a 16" x 16" box with a total of 480 LED lights, they are dimmable and powered by an A/C plug. This is the light box.

Here is the actual photo box set up. It has LED lighting on the left and right sids as well as the top. Now I have to learn which lens' to use with it for interior shots and exterior shots so the exposure comes out correct.

That's a very nice light box! You can try putting a piece of white poster board in there with the top resting against the back of the box and the bottom along the bottom of the box. That will remove all the seams in your background. Once you get the hang of that, you can experiment with different color poster boards, My favorite is gloss black for a mirror effect.

It comes with four different color inserts to fit inside, I will be trying out some of them as well. Right now I trying to figure out depth of field to get more in focus without blowing out the exposure. Trying to get the interior to show up without blowing out the exterior exposure is the hard part.

@john3976, try using a small light on a stand or a flashlight to light up the interior

Very cool. I like that light box. All of my photos are now taken in one. So much more control than I had before.
