Need help with unit marking

Ed,

Thanks for the idea! I like the box and the hidden light sources; I have been thinking along those lines as well. I am not sure about the glass as this could reflect light; although it shouldn't be an issue if you don't use a flash. I want something that's repeatable and gives good uniform lighting on the gun. The cloth backing is another good idea but I might try a couple of colors to get the best contrast between the gun and the back drop. I might try to accommodate both the gun on it's side and a gun on a display stand by adjusting the size of the box; I'll have to think about how to do that. If we can come up with a method that works, maybe adjustments won't be that difficult.

Ron, it might take me longer that it will Ed, but I have made a couple of commitments to take some pictures, so who knows, my conscience might get the better of me and lead to something.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll try to let you know if anything works.

Bob M.
