Any ideas on hanging Jets?

[RobbieDigital]

The one GI Joe vehicle I hate to display are the jets......they are an awesome part of the GI Joe toyline but I never know how to display the things?? They take up a ton of room on the shelf and honestly most of the time I either keep them MIB or don't display them at all. I've seen other Joe collections where people have them hanging......I've tried to do this myself with fishing line and its not working.....just wondering if anyone else out there hangs them and how do you go about doing it? Any help would be appreciated......

I don't have any of the jets but I do hang star Wars ships from my ceiling I have a few Tie fighters an X wing a B-Wing A Y- wing and a few Jedi fighters up

 

I use coffee cup hooks and hang them from the ceiling then I use thread...The same type of thread one would use when sowing

I use small brass hooks, you can find them in any hardware dept. I then use fishing line to hang everything. With the right hook and line you can hang any ship.

I use white cup hooks (so they blend into the ceiling) and fishing line. Some vehicles may be tricky so just play with looping line around various spots to find the balance then hang it from the hook once it hangs right. Sometimes you might have to go under both wings and then throw a loop around the nose or tail to get it to stay balanced. I used to have the vintage Millenium Falcon hanging from the ceiling - it was the heaviest by far so I doubled up on the line but it stayed put for years.

I have a Republic Gunship hanging from the ceiling with about 12 figures in it and I just used thread..Fishline is a great idea because its more clear

Ditto what some others have said. Screw-in hooks and fishing line work great. Here are some pics from different incarnations of my Joe room.

Yeah I hear you on the falcon. I have the new falcon hanging, 6 hooks and triple line, plus the hooks are in a stud. Its been hanging like that since I bought it and has yet to budge.

similarly i use fishing line but I skipped hooks and went for white wall dog screws. Those things are in there!
