Just a quick poll before bed tonight. I was just wondering how you all are showing off your Rattlers, Conquests, Skystrikers, and so on. So chime in and let's see how this goes, yeah?
I guess this can also apply to your Skyhawks, helicopters, pods, claws, chariots, and the occasional Nemesis Enforcer. I left this poll open to multiple answers since many of us have some open and some not. Ok, there we go. Have at it! (I have my trouble bubbles, air-troopers and Nemesis Enforcer up in the air on the underside of my display case - hard to describe... and my jets languishing on my desk...maybe this public shame will push me to just hang the bloody things.)

I'm actually going to display them in the box, but not mint in box... I'll remove the clear plastic and prop the boxes on a shelf in my Joe room.
Of course my wife said she likes the idea of hanging them... but that might be a bit too nerdy, even for me. lol

...nerdy? that's valuable space up there! use it! ;P
yatta! pics are flooding in! (and from Billie to boot! always glad to have her stop by, TARDIS or no...) An interesting start, so far, no mint in box votes...though I'm sure that will change. I leave this thread to its own devices for the evening. G'night Tank!

When I have the room I do a little of both. Some on the shelves and some hanging in the air. I don't have tons of room in my current apartment so only my WWII planes are currently hung up.
Back in the 80's I made a huge air battle hung from my bedroom ceiling. It was awesome, but took forever to do. Hopefully someday I find the pics I took back then. Last edited by Captain Carstein; 10-13-2008 at 10:58 PM.. |

If and when I ever open my Rattler or Conquest I probably will just have them displayed on a shelf or something. I don't even know how to hang em. What do you use? Fishing string or something? Then you nail the strings into the ceiling? Yeah I wouldn't trust it up there.

I found a use for this spare shelf on my computer desk. It's a corner desk with a thin strip in the diagonal corner, and I didn't put the printer there (where it's supposed to go) because I'm kind of OCD about wires hanging down in plain view.
Now I have a "runway" for my jets. Don't ask me why the Joes would be using the same runway as Cobra. That's better left up to the suits in Washington to figure out. I just know my planes look cool lording over my other joes that sit lower on the desk.

I have all my jets hanging from either my shelves or from the ceiling. They are all hung from hooks using Fishing line to hang them.
Here are few pics to show you how I have mine.

Once my display cases are in their final location, I'll be hanging my Rattler and Conquest over them. Should be easy since I have a drop ceiling in the basement, just gonna loop some fishing line.
But for now they're sitting on top of my display cases. |
