Those are great photos.
Thanks. The background is just a piece of white poster board, maybe 18" x 30", that I put down on a counter and bend up the wall behind it to make a seamless surface in two dimensions. I light with overhead fluorescents and two side lights. The side lights are Ottlite models balanced toward noon or high altitude daylight, which is why the faint shadows under the revolvers are bluish. This is a kind of slapdash lighting set up whose primary benefit is that I can set it up or tear it down in just a couple of minutes. One of these days I need to make a real light box.
