Happy 50th G.I.Joe!

I want to make my Flagg appear like its floating in mid-air. I thought of 2 or 3 drafting tables. These tables take on a shape which hides its legs at least from the front. But I think the Flagg is too heavy for these drafting tables. Can you guys think of other ideas or materials to make the Flagg look like its floating in mid-ar?
After almost 25 years, I just got the Flagg late last night. Setting it up and just looking at it casted in me a very pleasantly content feeling. Anyone else had this same or other feelings? Now I just want to cover the entire deck with colorful figures. No vehicles, just many figures. Any helpful tips on how I should care, display, or make my Flagg look like its floating in air will be very much appreciated. Tuskegee Joe |

I remember when I got mine. I was in awe of the size. The pictures don't do it justice. I would just stand there and stare at it. A happy time!

Why do you want it floating in midair?
Expensive route would to build a stand out of clear plastic. I have a drafting table, not sure what you mean by hide it's legs, you'd have to put it at a pretty steep angle to do so. Looking at 50-100 for a drafting table. Why not make it look like it's floating in water? Get some blue foamcore board to use as the base (putting on whatever stand you use to support the flag) and then some blue cellophane wrap a couple inches above the bottom of the flag to make the waves.

Just a guess, but he might be going with a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier type thing, which given the sci-fi'ish nature of Joe, would be a hell of an update.
The original. Even U.N.I.T. in Doctor Who has one these days. And the retro-riffic Sky Captain. |

Remember that Cobra hele-carrier? Any customizers got a few hundred dollars to blow on a Flagg to make one for us?

An acquaintance of mine said he was in the progress of making a Cobra Mothership by splicing a Flagg and a Terrordrome. That was over a year ago. I wonder what ever became of that...
