So I can tell you: all these things, like making your self photo studio are great and interesting, but time and effort consuming, and left no time for modeling.
Finaly - some DIY box photo studio takes much space in our small flats.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with this at all. In terms of DIY photography all you essentially need is a large enough sheet of paper/card as can be seen in Entau's picture. The box is there merely to hold up the translucent sides for a softer light.
Doing DIY photo-etching, casting etc is different as you need to build your tools and materials first. It takes under a minute to set up a sheet of paper. Storage is simple, rolling it up like you would a poster. My first one started out looking like druid_99's but now I just have one like Entau's as it's much quicker and easier.
If I had to choose one of those linked I'd probably pick Tamiya's as it looks larger and has a solid frame to mount lighting if you desire.
