How to attach?

Hi Guys

Bit of help needed, how would you attach a plastic MaK model hanging by its hand to a gantry?

There's not a lot of contact area and nothing actually goes over the top of the gantry.

I'd love some ideas please.

Thanks

Kathy

Just off the top of my head, I think you'd need to have some kind of armature running through the arm of the MAK to support it. Maybe something as simple as a rigid wire frame? Then have the end of protrude through the hand, to be inserted into a hole on the gantry.

Hi Ray

Thanks for your response.

That's what is worrying me!  My MaK is made up and I'm not sure how to retrofit some wire...
