I use this light box from Amazon. Cheap solution for someone who is too lazy to make one (like me). If you look through my post history, you can totally tell the difference in photo quality when I started using it. I use my iPhone 5 and occasionally a macro lens clip.
I use these. You can get them up to 60". Tons of different people sell them so depending on which vendor you can save a few bucks more. They work well, though I have never been able to get one to fold into its tiny form again... but you can still store them flat and its fine.

The Light Box I have
Example of miniatures using light box
My lighting setup is very similar to the set up on the amazon listing except using desk lamps. Just remember that the light box is used to soften light, so use straight bare bulbs.
I ordered a small photo box off amazon
and a couple spotlights. It makes all the difference in the world, cost about $30 total and its big enough for about 1 - 3 or 4 figures. I use an ancient 5 megapixel digital camera (top of the line a decade ago lol) and get pretty nice pictures. You can certainly get very good pictures without spending a fortune.
Thanks for sharing. This is pretty good if you have the stuff already laying around and don't mind keeping a bulky box around. I had been looking at some cheap setups on Amazon as listed below, but maybe a hybrid approach of getting a pre-made box that collapses and then using cheaper lights, including some I already have.
Just a world of caution, especially if you use halogen or incandescent lights with tissue paper... fire hazard, be careful there.
