Title: Mabel Stark - Tiger Trainer
Post by: Emma.J on May 31, 2011, 15:53:59: :wave: Hi I was asked by a fellow member if I could a figure based on Mabel Stark a real life Tiger trainer who worked with big cats for many years.

So here's a photo of the real thing and my version.

Post by: el jefe on May 31, 2011, 22:56:10: She's gorgeous and she's MINE!! I am anxiously awaiting her arrival from across the Atlantic. I became really interested in Mabel and old school circuses after reading a fictionalized account of Mabel's life. She was still working with tigers in her 80s. :o

So of course I wanted a Mabel playmobil figure and who is one of the best customizers around, but Emma J and she whipped her up super fast. Thank you soooo much for doing this Emma. I'm really pleased with her. :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :thanks:

That's the best thing about playmofriends. Look at Damo's incomplete specials and how everyone without a second thought offered up pieces to complete them. A very nice community we have here. :)9
