This is truly an oldie. I made this for a class project when I was maybe 15-17.

My camera at the time was a Miranda G with a 50mm lens.

I also had a little home darkroom kit that I would set up in a bathroom in my parents' house.

Fun fact about the Miranda is that it had NO light meter. You either had to have an external light meter or trust your instincts for dead reckoning.

The location was a little cave my brother and I had dug in the side of a bank by our driveway.

I used an assortment of GI Joes who by this time were missing enough parts to look like they had been through an actual war.

These were the old GI Joes that were 12 inches (30 cm) tall.

The part of Heracles was played by Bulletman who had chrome arms and helmet. I removed the helmet and painted the arms to match his flesh tone. At least in black and white they matched. His schtick was that he could be launched headfirst at enemy structures and smash through them with his helmet and metal arms.

“I ain't got time for traumatic brain injury,” should have been his motto.

Fun fact, my brother badly broke his leg jumping off the couch over the little string you would slide Bulletman down.
