I have always had good experiences with fishing line. Can tie it to say a wall anchor an wrap it tight around the object and then to another wall anchor. Same goes for small figures you want standing. Staple it to a shelf and can pull it tight over the feet of the figure.

Hello. I use hotglue in joints like that. It supports the joints and is easy to peel off when done. For supporting the entire figure, get some wooden dowels, paint them black or whatever, then drill a partial hole in the floor and tap the dowel into it. Then position the balrog in front of it and attach with whatever you see fit.

@edhill44862 жыл бұрын
Excellent video!!! Now just a friendly word of warning. Laura, you may want to put something between your Balrog figure and the wall like a poster or wall hanging of some kind. Preferably something you wouldn't care about damaging. I had a Neca Queen alien partially propped up against the wall on a high shelf where it rested for a few years, but recently, I decided to move her to a different room. When I pulled her away from the wall, part of the plastic on her tail and head piece had somehow fused to the paint, pulling some of it off with her. I had to touch-up the wall, and carefully scrape away the paint that got stuck to the figure. And I'd definitely look into either buying a solid, bottom heavy, stand, or making one. Neca stuff looks great, but is extremely fragile. And by the way, the Aliens franchise is my favorite. Predator is great, but I'm not really into the sequels.

I would recommend using something which will support the entire figure, and take some of the pressure off the limbs. He is so heavy that the joints of his legs, wings, and tail can snap under his own weight, even though though they are reinforced with metal. A support stand that is placed under his centre of gravity would probably be the best idea.

Gorilla glue makes a good one that is super thin AND strong too. Sincerely, Wes.

Love that shelving Laura! I use similar shelving for my online toy store on eBay. Here's a huge SpaceSaver tip for you. You can actually stack those shelves once you put them together, and just tie them together with a couple of decking screws so the 2nd tier doesn't slide. Target has all different sizes for those cube shelves. So if you wanted to add say 2 more rows on top, you could buy a 2x4 (8 cube) shelf, and turn it sideways and lock it in with a couple decking screws. Or if you can fit it, you could get another 4x4 (16cube shelf) and lock it in on top. Then you can have your toys go all the way to the ceiling!
