I need to build a light tent or light box for photographing some of the products I sell. The plans for building smaller versions of these usually use shipping boxes with the sides cut out and tissue or baking paper over the sides. What I'm wondering is what is the effective upper limit on size for doing this? Most of the stuff I would be photographing would be "smaller" stuff like laptops, but I can see the occasional PC case being a possibility as well. I'm not looking to go real expensive here but I need some ideas for lighting, etc...
