Stupid question: hanging?

Stupid question: hanging?

I've got this Guillow's P-38 I built that I'm pretty happy with but it's been just sitting in the basement collecting dust because I don't know of a solid way to hang or display it. I obviously could figure it out but I'm wondering if there's kind of a "common sense" way to hang these that has yet to occur to me.

Is it seriously just some fishing/monofilament line around the wing roots and some eye hooks in the ceiling? I'm honestly scared that the line will rip through the tissue at some point.

Is there a good" transparent"way of hanging these where they look great and don't take any damage?

I had no clue there would be a storm last night

I got lazy yesterday and didn't put the grill away or bother to cover it. I've got a hopper extender that the wind just flung off. Got the Devil's popcorn.

Hopefully I can get this all cleaned out before this turns into concrete and seizes the auger.

Everything from the garden

We finally had a good year for big tomatoes and they're just now ripening up. Usually the squirrels get whatever's there but we started trying to pick them when they just started to get some color and let them ripen on the counter. Worked well.

Jalepenos did pretty great this year too and we had a couple surprise volunteer onions and a good crop of garlic.

This is just some run of the mill table salsa with all of the above broiled up and some Knorr. Pretty damn delicious.

Edit: Apparently I need to provide a recipe; here goes:

4 big tomatoes (no clue what kind they are)

4 Jalepenos (two of them seeded)

1 medium onion (probably a sweet yellow)

5 cloves of garlic

Broiled all the above at 500° for ~15min in the toaster oven.

Added 1Tb Knorr chicken bouillon.

Pulsed in the blender till the consistency that looked good.

Petition - Gates dine-in sauce

Informal signature on an imaginary petition: Bring back the self-serve sauce pumps, Gates. They've been gone since covid. It's not right.

Volunteer onions pulled last weekend

At some point in the past, I threw a half rotten half sweet onion from the fridge into the planter that the squirrels kicked around a little bit. I've no clue how onions propagate so I'd hate to claim these came from that. Regardless, they're hung and curing and I'm a little bit proud.

This is well within my top five favorite sandwiches but I can only do it every so often.

Tuna salad on toasted white

Albacore (?) with onion, celery, pickles, mayo, Dijon, Tapatio, and S&P. Fritos. Damn good lunch.

Just finished The Surgeon's Mate

After eagerly plowing through 1-6, I hit a wall about a quarter of the way through The Surgeon's Mate. Mostly because the only time I really had time to read was in bed, a few pages at a time with nothing really registering in my memory.

Up until this vacation, I hadn't picked it up for a few months at least. I restarted it this Monday with plenty of time to read and just finished it a few minutes ago.

Wow. I'm invested again. The entirety was great but the last third was just excellent, exciting fun.

A buddy of mine just paid $5k for one of these

It got delivered on Thurs. He burned it off yesterday and tonight is doing "90 minute ribs" on it.

I'm super skeptical and I've been giving him nothing but shit.

Im hoping for me to be proven right while hoping for him that I'm proven wrong.

TT-02 1978 Zakspeed Capri

I just got this finished up and, I've got to say, I think it may be the most badass body tamiya has come out with. Looks sooo good and has made me dive into the Group 5 cars hard.

It was my first TT-02 and built mostly stock with added bearings, cva dampers, and low friction pivot balls.

The decals were something else but, man, Tamiya has those so well engineered that, if you take the time, they fit absolutely perfectly and look incredible.

Ham, turkey, bacon on toasted sourdough

Sandwiches almost everyday for lunch this week. This was the best one by far.

Grilled ham and cheese on sourdough

Cheddar, pepperjack, and the ham for lunch. It was great but I need a nap.

I found a good looking rump roast on sale and figured it was time again.

Beef seasoned with S&P, garlic and onion powder, and Mexican orgegano.

Ran the grill at ~350 for maybe an hour and a half until the beef hit 130.

Served up on griddled bolillo rolls from the grocery store bakery with packet au jus. Damn good.

Im a big Saab fan and have a TT02 on the way (Zakspeed Capri) and wondered if there's a 1/10th Saab 99 body out there I could put on it. Nope, there doesn't seem to be. I've now gone down the rabbit hole of deciding I want to make one myself.

I just got this printed out at the short wheelbase length (251mm) of the TT02. The idea is I'm going to use this model (cleaned up of course) as a vacuum form mould.

Really, this'd be better off on a more rally-centric chassis (XV-0*) but, because I have the TT02 on the way, that's what I'm shooting for for the time being.
