Looking good.
Lets see a picture of the light box, please. Also, what kind of camera set up do you now have? Your pictures look great to me!!

Looks like I better make a light box too, if it will make all my guns look like that!
OP
Rags had forwarded me this all I did was follow the directions ( I changed the dimensions a bit)

You're getting great results! Your pics aren't just the result of the equipment you're using, you're adding hard work and a dash of talent...

Nice! Congratulations. It is hard getting nickle plated guns to render well in photographs. A light box, sturdy tripod and decent camera surely helps!!!
Very nice, Sal. That 27 looks strangely familiar. Joe
Hey, is that a 5-incher with a patridge front sight blade? First one of those I've ever seen. Nice gun and nice pic!

Much better than my scrub pics in front of my bathroom mirror. I find the mirror helps with better lighting, but a light box clearly works just a little better...

Months later and I finally made a light box. And my pics look worse than the ones I used to take with the bulbs reflecting off the bathroom mirror:
This is with three of the 60w (really 14w) CFL bright white bulbs.
And this is with the one on top turned off but the sides both turned on:
The daylight CFL's on the display and a funny blue hue to the light they gave off while these were pure white to my eyes. Do I need to step up to the daylight version? Is the 60w not enough???

Try putting your camera's white balance setting to incandescent (really!). ASA to 100. That's what I do. It may work. All lights on...tripod if needed with timer.
