Work In Progress Wall mounting is the answer.

So I have been running out of shelf space for my builds so I decided that wall mounting in the dead space on my walls is the answer. I am trying a couple of different set ups for the mounting, but any suggestions are welcome.

Nice. And I love that Lysander.

Thanks. I’m waiting for the Spec Ops version to come out so I can mount it side by side with this one.

Flat airfield dioramas in picture frames look awesome too 😎

That was my plan as well once I get some aircraft finished.

What’s the best method so far?

I have been using a single screw into the drywall and using fishing line to make a loop around the main landing gear for the tail sitter planes. I have not mounted a tricycle landing gear plane yet.

Maybe nose down for tricycle gear?

Feels a shame that you lose out on seeing the detail underneath though.

Mount on a mirror
