    Looking for some help in hanging from the ceiling. Specifically in terms of how the line is secured to the hook. I’m horrible at knots and not sure how to loop the line around the vehicle and to secure it to the hook. Im using basic clear fishing line.

    Outside of the lighting, it’s the next phase in redoing all my displays. If you have any advice or can point me in the right direction, it’d be appreciated. I’ve not found anything helpful on Youtube but perhaps I’m missing something.

    So many Seekers to hang.

    I used to use fishing spinners. The spinner end has a "hook" that is useful for holding the figure.

    Tie each end of the fishing line to the figure. This will make a handle of sorts that can go on the hook. It will also allow you to adjust the pitch, yaw and roll.

    I'm starting to think about hanging a few figures from the ceiling as well. I've seen pics of people's collections where it looked awesome. (wish I had saved them) Plus it's a great way to free up shelf space.
