Skycranes, maybe.



But only for light ones.

Take it to the max and build one of those sky cranes in like... 1/24 and us it in place of the light fixture on a ceiling fan then hang whatever you please.   :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

I wish I still had my old Skycrane model now.  :mellow:

I've only build small planes, 1/72, so I use a double circle of fishing thread and a pushpin, and go around the wings so I can change the attitude. I twist the ends by the pin into little loops as one would a bailing pin on a ship and make certain the pin is pushed all the way to the ceiling or wall.

But what would be truly grand would be a hanging a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias.  ;)
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

You could be on to something, if you use a plastic/wooden rod  to give the impression that the helicopter is in hover mode lifting the tank. The rod would be hidden by the base or background.

I've seen a photo of a Chinook lifting an M-113 out of a rice paddy and thought that would be a cool diorama - you'd have to make the cables/slings out of stiff wire, but it should be doable.

Or have a Skycrane lifting a PBR, as in 'Apocalypse Now'.

Something different, anyway.
