How big are the panels? Are they "hangable"?

I took an old sash from a 4x4 bath window, stretched and stapled some white
sateen fabric to it. I rigged some braces across the sides to hold it in an
upright position and made some brackets that fit over the top and extended
out a ways. I can hang small panels off there, put the whole assembly
where the sun backlights the panel, and fire away. I get a perfectly white,
shadowless background.

I've also heavily sandblasted a piece of 1/4" plate and laid it right on top
of a flourescent light fixture and had good results on smaller panels.

LOL...

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more
and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious
day
the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and
the
White House will be adorned by a downright moron." =A0--H.L. Mencken

1956)

Since you threatened to turn me in to UPS for collecting $100 insurance
on broken glass...... now I'm not telling you!
