    The illusion of flight!!

    I am trying to come up with some sturdy looking wires that are clear but strong that can refasten and reattach some of my flying heroes.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    This is what I am working on. I am trying to free up some shelf space with a bunch of heroes flying around the shelves...

      Yep, fishing line. Hardly visible, it's perfect

          Well no ****. If you read my post. I am talking about setting up something where I can attach it and remove it. Some kind of harness maybe. I don't want to leave these figures in that flight position all the time. I want to be able to take them down and put them back up. Maybe some kind of clear snap harness or something. That is the question I am trying to ask. I may not have been clear in my original question.

            You may want to try this,........It's called invisible sewing string. It's pretty sturdy.

              "Can you read my mind?
              Do you know what it is you do to me?
              Don't know who you are
              Just a friend from another star
              Here I am, like a kid at the school
              Holding hands with a god or a fool
              Will you look at me, quivering,
              Like a little girl, shivering,
              You can see right through me.
              Can you read my mind?
              Can you picture the things I'm thinking of?
              Wondering why you are
              All the wonderful things you are.
              You can fly - You belong to the sky
              You and I could belong to each other.

                  I use fishing line too, you can easily remove them, you can just wrap it around them a bit without tying knots.

                        Ivaniski that is what I was thinking when you sent me that awhile ago. What about a harass that can snap them in and out so you don't have to tie it on them and take ten minutes to strap them back up there? That is what I am trying to design.

                        PS Ivaniski. What did you ever do with that Hulk custom I sent you?

                          Here's a thought. Instead of fashioning some kind of harness why not sew something like a jeweler's clasp into the figure's costume and then attach a small hoop to the string.

                            A Harnass would seem logical. However, it may be slightly bulky. i usually tie the string to the suit snap area and another to the boot. I'm trying to customize the Hulk you sent me with a Hulk i had ordered from Austin (Reproheads) a few months ago. Hope he hasn't forgotten me.

                            Here's another sample of the illusion of flight with my stated string and method........

                              Can you shoot some close ups of the suit snap area that the string is attached to. I am looking some for my daughter to be able to place them when she is don and then remove them the next day....
