I haven't hung mine but after looking at it I would suggest folding two pieces of fishing line to make 4 total strings and putting them behind serpentors feet and before the turbine. There seems to be a little groove in there to hold them. Next hang one of the folded lines straight up and loop the other one to the front and pin it between both guns. That should keep the line against the snake on the chariot and you can then angle it how you want. If you want some sideways action just create a knot on the gun to give it some pull from the side. If you want it pointing upwards just take the second loop and put it through the loops in the guns and through the back of the snake on the chariot. Have patience with it. The balancing act is frustrating sometimes.

in my photo albums its in there like prego! i used four single strings, fishing line, use a 4 pnd test, but if you can find 2 then thats your best bet! i have mine in a shelf, so the strings are hooked to flat thumb tacks, , lil hard to explain but, what i did was grabbed a pce of card board, tie the strings to the chariot, snip left over string from the not! jus' like you were fishin an tyin a lure, snip the ends so you cant see em. then take the other ends, an make like the first step to tying ya shoes, so the string makes a complete circle an put the thumb tack through the circle pull tight, press it in the card board an pull till its the right level "or do all four the same time", , i recommend addin the serpentor before doin this so its all accurate! , anyway do the same for all 4 strings, then pull out the thumb tacks the string should stay round the prong, an then glue it, glue each thumb tack to the string that wraps round it, let dry snip off the left overs, an bam!, or you can jus' do the same procedure but minus the card board, an jus' use what ever you are hangin it from, an this way you wont have to glue the string either, jus' wrap a thumb tack an press it in then pull the string till it's at the right spot that you want! i remember i believe it was bionic commando tellin' me it would be tuff to hang stuff, an i was like nah man , its easy, jus' gotta think it out! he used some things for vases, an they were cool lookin an worked good for a shelf or dresser! but i wanted my stuff hung. an when i hung my stuff, i hung what ever that flew that was out at that time. now i have more stuff, jus' no room to hang it! an i also recommend you get one of your boys to help, its much easier to have the extra hands! i hope this helps bro! its hard to put actions into words!

I used clear glass single bud vases from Walmart at .97 cents a piece.It does the job and inexpensive.I did this with Serpentor's Chariot,F.A.N.G.,C.L.A.W.,Firebat,Sharc and I used a roll of $2 clear fishing line to suspend my Paravipers in the air.You can see this in my video link and I have some pictures in my photo albums

Another place you could get a clear plastic tube from would be at the hardware store in the lighting isle. The fluorescent light tubes that are commonly used should always be protected with a plastic cover. Clear plastic tubes are sold for a couple of bucks. They're most likely 48" long. You can then cut what ever lengths you want.
