You're welcome! :)

Yeah you could definitely DIY this type of setup. For the soft box you could remake one using "tracing paper" which is a opaque material that can be found at most art supply stores, get the plastic feeling stuff (I can't remember exactly what it's called), and then you can make the "box part with black foam core.

For the light you could use a bright flood work light that you can get for 30-50 dollars at a hardware store.

Just be careful you test your DIY setup so you don't start a fire!

That's one of the nice things about buying a chimera it's made out of flame-retardant material that's really hard to burn. And it doesn't fall apart as easy as a DIY setup.
