I got some new props in and finished building a few up, so I thought I'd share.

First up is my TFA Lightsaber, Rey used.

Kylo Ren's Lightsaber, all metal

And finally, my F-11D Stormtrooper Blaster Rifle, kit from Justinian, finished by me. I love this one!!

I'm not only impressed with the props themselves but with the quality of the photography.

Click to expand...

Use a big sheet of white paper (something more like card stock in thickness).

Best way I can describe what to do next:

Lay half of the paper, or whatever, on the ground near a wall, with the other half running up the wall.

Do not crease the paper, but allow a curve where the floor and wall meet.

Put an object on the paper, on the floor.

Take pictures so that the paper running up the wall is in the background.

Due to the curve of the paper, the picture will show all white. Especially if the lighting is set well.

I recommend taping the paper to the wall, and floor, so that it won't move.

This was a lot harder to explain than I thought, but it's a very simple concept.

If anyone can explain better, or even show a picture of what I'm describing, that would be nice. I'm sure a lot of you use the same technique.

Nothing special. I use two large foam core boards, one as the bottom and one propped up behind it. Then I use an old digital camera on a tripod, with no flash. It’s really all in the settings. I’m just using my fluorescent lights in my shop as lighting.
