Thanks for the link.
I have tried to set up a similar rig, but it's hard as I don't have the same or similar lights. I tried using lamps and torches that I had but they don'y light up the blade enough. Takes a while and a lot of trial and error, but at least we have the concept now.
From what I did do the pics came out pretty decent.
I'll upload a image of my rig and my pics if anyone wants me to.

Hi LG, I used: 1x shower glass door 1x mechanics lamp (red case) 1x mechanics halogen lamp (yellow case) 1x torch 1x night stand lamp RAW Image Photoshop (very rushed & roughly 2minutes of editing) It turned out ok but I wish I had better lights. As you can see the back light (to light up the mune) isn't long enough and the other lights aren't the right type of light (brightness and light colour).

Cool! I think it came out pretty well especially when considering the limitations you mentioned.
