Just in case this might be of benefit to any of you, I've attached a very simple concave reflector to create reflected light. I just shine a spotlight at the reflector and place off-camera and pointed at the figure. You can scale it up or down...however you need it. I guess you can use one of the white metals or a mirror material for the reflector bowl. The benefit of this is that it gives soft, dim light, but does not cast a shadow.
