Out of pvc, I prepared some details for the cameras. These soda bottle lids would make nice shutter speed dials.

Drilling holes in the side of my lens.

These are for zip-ties.

Lens attached to camera body like so...

...and camera attached to pvc like so.

I planned to attach the flash units to the open end of the pvc branches, and the capacitors happened to fit nicely inside of them.

I just needed some photographer heads!

Attaching the shutter speed dials with a glue gun.

I love when a little extra detail transforms something from "tape-covered shape" into "camera replica". That's what the shutter speed dials did for this bunch.

I thought I would just cut the tops off of 2-liter bottles for the flash parabolic reflectors but the were pretty floppy because the plastic is so thin.
