These are really good for that set-up may I suggest trying something taking it there any left !

Do this again with a mini LED torch for light and set the timer for about 30 secs in a dark room lock focus then run the light around the subject and blow out the rear white .... trust me with some tiem it works amazingly well I did something similar with a My Canon P&S and a plastic Stapler was surpised at the results in fact may play like this again !

Again great shots from the set-up ! Nice set and on creativity side a huge 11/10
