Thats actually pretty cool man, those photos you took came out very clean. I would make this but don't really have anything to take a picture of in it. Don't really have collectables (sold all my figs).

you should make a tutorial of how you made it Ahh, the original tutorial is all on the link I posted on the first page. The two confusing things are the cloth to buy, and just what is, "Bristol Board." I bought a cotton polyester blend cloth (two yards to be safe), and Premium Poster Board. Thats actually pretty cool man, those photos you took came out very clean. I would make this but don't really have anything to take a picture of in it. Don't really have collectables (sold all my figs). I appreciate the kind words man! It really is a very nice tool to take really good pictures of figures and collectibles. If you ever start collecting again, I'd certainly recommend making one as it is very easy on the wallet as opposed to the real deal, and it makes extremely good results. Also happy to see TooShort made one! I've taken a lot more pictures recently detailing more and more of my collection... I'm thinking of totally redoing my collection thread, here's a few of them.

To help eliminate shadows I place the item I photograph in the middle of the box, not against the back, also, for some bigger things, I light the sides of the box as well, or you can try moving the camera into the box a bit more.
Photoshop(ish) programs can also help (which I do), upping the contrast and the brightness a bit can also take care of vignetting, and shadows. The one thing I can't stress enough, is to use a 'Natural Day' Light Bulb, which can be found in hardware stores.
---Everyone just remember to NOT leave the lights on for long periods of time, when not in use, turn the sumbitch off, and don't use it for hours at a time. I'd hate for someone to burn their house down, lol.
-And I also have a cheap 7 Megapixel Norcent Digicam, which I failed to mention is what the last 3 pics were taken with.
