Table. Fabric or some large ass board (whatever's cheaper and easier to store for you). Anddd a tall desk lamp/lamp that clamps your table tops.
Will be set for the most part. That's what's so great about shooting small things. Creating the setting isn't too crazy.

Sorta leaning to a fabric backdrop, since it is both easier to store and wont get marked up like paper board does. Also more damage resistant when handling. I also would need to get said desk lamp as I don't have one. Problem is I keep buying more models and RC stuff instead
*EDIT*
Took some macro pics of various models with metallic paint jobs:

Nothing fancy. Just a cheap pop-up light tent with some lamps from around the house - an inspection lamp on one side (which I like as it gives the visors a nice "beam" of light) and a daylight lamp on the other side.

What material are you using to diffuse? That's the next thing I want to achieve.
And what surface are you using for the all-black backdrop with reflective flooring? It's not a large sheet of glass or acetate, is it? I used to do a black sheet with a sheet of acetate, and then I'd do the curve-in-the-back backdrop trick, but it would always capture the reflection of the lamp, which I disliked.

Just the sides of the tent. It's one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40x40cm-P...464581?hash=item4d53af13c5:g:xaUAAOSwawpXrGx3
The black is done in the same way - just using the black backdrop material provided, and with the car sat on a sheet of glass. I only did those shots as an experiment really, but they came out better than I expected.

I'll have to spend some time and/or resource getting something to work with the overhead fluorescent lamp I use. I did make some reflectors using cardboard as backing, but I haven't tried them out yet.
Take off the head rest that serves as a pin, the back end (quite literally) falls off.

I'm so glad the previous owner did not disassemble it back to its original state. Apparently putting it back in its box means you have to take it apart. Can't imagine what kind of nightmare that could be.

As hot as that Exoto D-Type looks, the price for those things are absurd. I think I will be happy with the $200 AA one lol...
Really though, I wish I got the Exoto Sauber C9 back when they were under $200. I would kill for an opening C9, or at least a Spark quality resin one. Though, I think someone was supposed to be making an opening diecast one, I want to say TSM. I know I need the yet to be released diecast TSM Jag XJR-9 in my life

Speaking of D-Types....
Not quite as fancy as the Extorto, but still pretty damn nice.
Also got this:
Got one more 1/18 on the way, possibly 2. After that, no more 1/18's for at least a month lol...

Truthfully speaking, not enough. Probably not enough.
Don't buy these things like I do. That's my lesson for you.

Guys thank you for the input. Unfortunately I can't get this model... I have to get some meds for myself and buy a few professional practice exams for my studies. If anyone is around Toronto and is interested in a 1/18 AA Miura SV red on silver brand new they can contact this number 416 277 4332 txt Chi-Gun Hobbies. Place is in Scarborough I think inside Pacific mall. He's selling it for $120 CAD he said he will even ship for 15.
I guess for now I'll be content with my 1/43 collection. Oh the sacrifice...
