Having done some more research I found an old thread on deja which points to
the NOVOFLEX Magic Studio. Is this comparable to the Cubelite and if so
better/worse?

Thanks

You could make your own.

I regularly take photos of dollshouse miniatures for a friend.

Initially I used a piece of coloured heavy paper,  resting on a table,
with the back against the wall, making sure there was a gentle curve
at the back (i.e rather than a right angle )... if that makes sense. I
just weighted the paper down, then used 2 spots to light the piece.

I know am alittle more sophisticated. I have a wooden frame, holds the
paper/card. I can slot in an a3 sheet in various colours/textures
depending on the piece I want to photograph. The frame when assembled
is a an open cube. I can slot card or tracing paper/thin paper in the
side walls or above the piece to "soften the lights, or leave them
open.   It's not as good as the commercial "portable studios" but I've
had great restults with it, and its cheap!!!
