Hanging SW fighters on the ceiling

Post by Fairtex »

I'm planning on hanging my x-wing, y-wing, snowspeeder and other SW fighters on the ceiling and was wondering what would be the best way to do so. What's recommended to use to hang these and where can I get them from? Thanks.

I've hung a lot of ships using strong fishing line. For safety, I used plasterboard anchors and hooks - a minimum of 2 anchors/hooks per ship. It does mean putting holes in the ceiling. For lower-hanging ships, which are only a few inches above the ground, I have occasionally used 3M removable hooks (again, a minimum of two or three per ship).

These are some old pics (shelving is gone, but the ships have been safely in place for about 7 years).

Thanks for that Matt. Will go hunting for a strong fishing line and some hooks this weekend.
