My light tent

After getting a new camera with a decent macro I faced the problem that I didn't have a possibility to make photos of the thing I make with enough light and the possibility to change the backdrop.
What I came up with was this box made out of 4 cardboard frames (approx 23x23cm) covered with sandwich paper. The frames are connected with velcro, so when I don't need the box i just collapse it. The lighting is provided by 3 desk lamps and the backdrop is a A4 paper taped to a wooden skewer.


Here is an example picture (a snail made of a fork):
