Christmas present for my boys

Outstanding Steve. What did you use to make the "ship"? Any kid would like that light. Happy Holidays to you and yours also.

Jim

Beautiful.  I wouldn't mind having such a model hanging from my own bedroom ceiling.

Brings to mind (for some reason) an item I once saw in a mail order catalog.  It was a set of "reversed decoys."  It consisted of the (life-sized) bottom halves of several ducks - a mother and a string of ducklings.  They were complete with realistic, paddling feet, and the purchaser was supposed to mount them on his ceiling.  I've been kicking myself ever since for not buying them.  Would have looked great on the ceiling of our downstairs lavatory.  If anybody out there knows where I can buy such things, please post or pm.

Thanks Jim and John.  The boys were really excited last night with it, the trick is going to get them to go to sleep tonight!

Jim, the "ship" is the old Hawk Graf Zeppelin that has been reissued by Linberg.  The toughest part was blending the vertical joint, but it was well worth it.

John, if you find the ducks, please let me know my wife said she would love one!

Steve

If you know someone who makes duck decoys, he might be able to make you a set. Check with anyone who goes duck hunting or if there is a gun shop nearby, they could probably give you a lead or two. Hope that this helps.

Jim

Ceiling ducks are about half way down the site here

Phil, I don't think these are exactly like the ones I saw earlier, but they'll do just fine!  Many thanks!  Docidle - the source is in the post immediately above this one.

HI !

That is just awesome ! I like your thinking . Tankerbuilder

Way cool idea,I'm curious did you open the model on top to install the light? The shadow directly above has me puzzled?

Thanks guys! Actually I have lighting below that is diffused and pointing up to give it that look.

I love it. She looks very cool indeed.....Cheers mark
