RECRETIONS: London Ladders, Pagehausen


 Had the house to myself during Labor Day week, so I set up the big photo box and set some stuff up.

I wanted to do something from All In, which I really enjoyed, but roster churn means that I don’t have figures for most of the matches. I have one opponent/team for a lot of them, but not both. But I do have versions at least of a lot of the London Ladders Match between BCC/Pac, The Patriarchy, the Bang Bang Gang, and House of Black. I have all of the first team, 2/3 of the second team, none of the third, and all of the fourth. But luckily, with one exception, the people I don’t have were behind the ring or off screen during the finish, so all I had to do was leave out Nick Wayne in front of the ring and I was good.

This was a single shot - took a LONG time to get set up and a long time to tweak. The belts are hanging from the photo box with a set of ring ropes and a Barbie coat hanger. I don’t have trios belts so I used tag belts for hanging and something similar-looking from holding. I also don’t have a proper Giant Ladder Match Ladder, but Figures Toy Company sells those so I may need to make an order soon.

This next one I posted on Insta already because I was short of time, but it’s the end of the Ethan Page / Danhausen match from Rampage where Danhausen eats an Ego’s Edge. I don’t remember what happened after that - I assume Danhausen turned things around and won somehow.

These still require a LOT of cleanup work on the background removal. While I had the ring and box set up I also took a bunch of stock photos of just the ring for casual wrestling acquisition pics going forward. The automatic background remover I use removes the ring when there are figures in it but no when it’s empty. I’ll be giving those a try soon.
