Let me know what ya think.
Is that the 2003 GIJoe Shark or did you have a different source. I tried to find a great watery background, and you did it! I love how you pinned the shark to the rope ladder. Just a grat job, I need that on a poster!
You don't happen to have "Bat Ladder" on the bottom rung?
Some days you just can't get rid of a ... SHARK!

Actually that is a $5.99 rubber shark from ebay. There is a wooden dowel up it's hiney to hold it in place and I cut its jaw off to make it fit closer to Adam's leg. The dowel is mounted to a piece of wood that is held down by a 2 pound sledge hammer. I WISH I had thought about putting Bat Ladder on it. If you really are interested in a print send me a PM and we can make it happen.

When I made the model that became my avatar, I had some experience with this guy, made in about 1989 or 1990. I used 12 AWG copper wire to bend the shark around. I will send a PM

The Bat Ladder on the bottom rung. I don't think you need it unless you take a more top down photo, but here's how it did it as a permanent mount, which is about all you can do with a model. I like the photos more because you can reposition the figures.

Jeremy,
The build diary was on the old Batcrafts page, but all the pics are gone. I reposted them here: http://batcavemodels.yuku.com/topic/64/ ... frHCsQ8KrV
Good luck.

Re: Toy Photography with 66 Batman Figures.
Szabol, I love the work on the GI Joe and your avatar. You did a great job. I doubt I'll add the bat ladder sign since my set up would be a pain to do top down shots with.

Re: Toy Photography with 66 Batman Figures.
Jeff, I completely agree with you. I look forward to more photos, especially with some of the FTC villains
MADD hatter and pink cowl, for instance.

I really like the Batman vs Shark set. That is by far the best yet.

Went out to play Saturday for "World Photography Day" and took a few pictures with an old trestle bridge. I love these old places. Here is Batman and Robin driving into Gotham and then again driving back to the Batcave.
