Ok, I promised them, here they are:



Like I said for outside shots, use loose dirt(or sand where I live to bury the stand, while leaving the feet visible!








Ok, and if that isn't your cup of tea, here is a varaition on Outriders Technique. He used heavy wire to mimmick the stand. How about this;

Take a piece of flexible wire,



and cut about a 2 inch length.



Wrap it around the figures foot, It can go over and point straight down (left) or wrap around and stick down from the side or rear of the foot (Right).




Then stick your figure in the dirt! Viola!






Hope this gave you something to put in your "Dio Toolbox". If this helped, let me know. I got more tricks I'm willing to share!
