masterchief5611 Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 In this picture: How/where do you: a)did you get the dragons to "float"? b)where can I buy it?(what type of store) c)how did you get it to stick to the LEGO? thaTS all...for now.
Cutty Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I'm not Deinonychus here, but I'll answer anyway...and try to sound polite... Your questions is a little strange isn't it? Didn't you look at that picture, intensively...studied it? Wel if you had, you'd have most likely discovered those dragons are "floating" via threads attached to the room's ceiling. And come to figure it: THIS is the utterly most plausible and anyways first way to accomplish such a thing, as HANGING UP things, in the damn first place! People did this even with marble statues in Hellenistic/Roman times...so there's quite a bit of "tradition" in this. To make this a well rounded post here are two advises to you dear masterchief: a) the premier material for hanging up small items is (from my experience) "Nylon thread". It's a thin but very stable synthetic thread. You'd perhaps know this from certain lady's clothing, stockings foremost. It's the same kind of material, only as a garment. You can get it at most hobby-stores worldwide. And it's not even very expensive. If you don't find it (because the synthetic material has quite a few names...) just go ask the salesclerk. Or perhaps your parents whether they have some nylon thread already for you to use. b) post AFTER thinking! Please! It's not hard to figure out a thing is hung up by damn thread. I did it when I was younger all the time, and I figured it out myself. Gaah, this post will certainly get me in trouble with the mods, but our younger users sometimes are dense as hell...example: Tie Army thread. Utter chaos. So have a nice day. Yours sincerely, M.O.U.E. Cutty
masterchief5611 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Posted March 1, 2006 LANGUAGE!!!! >:( Jeez! but anyways I thought that was tread like for sewing so I wanted to clearafy this. 1 more how did he stick the nylon string to the ceiling? and you didnt answer question 3.
Cutty Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 My language is fine, thank you. As for your additional questions: sometimes a little thumbtack with the thread spun firmly around the shaft might keep it stable. otherwise you could use a small metal lug (with a screw on it's end) to quide the thread back down to the wall (or wherever) and fix it more thoroughly should the thumbtack method appear to be uncertain. And don't fool me on the "last question" part! Just take the thread and twine it round some parts of the object you'd like to hang up. Job done. It couldn't possibly get any easier than that! For additional fixation you might apply transparent sticky tape to tighten the whole affair. A nice day to you...
masterchief5611 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Posted March 1, 2006 LOL! I meant the bad words you said. I will have a nice night. It is night over here. Im in the USA.
