Looks pretty sweet, what techniques did you use? The lighting and picture quality aren't that great... Try steadying your camera on a stack of books or a stool. As for lighting, I am not too good at it myself, but try giving it a white background (white printer paper is what I use because I don't have a big white photography sheet to hang) and put a bright lamp right next to it (out of camera view) and point it directly at what you are taking pics of.
Hope this helps,

AJ:)
it be like dat
