<P>I dont have any problem with playmobil.</P> <P>I respondend to your similar message over in the construction section of the forum. I suggested an easy option may be to use medium/heavy duty fishing wire. Not a keen fisherman my self but I do know the line has a BIG breaking strain. If you put a pair of hooks in the ceiling the same width as a plexiglass former, you could wire down from one hook under the plexi and back up to the second hook. </P> <P>Model boats use a "turnbuckle" which is a mine wire tensioner. Put one on one side of the wire and you could adjust the length of the wire loop quite easily.</P> <P>A similar method of suspension is used for some fluoerescent light fittings.</P> <P>You may need to put a couple of wires horizontally to a wall to stop an swing (if its high enough)</P> <P>And finally a local sign maker might be able to get the plastic laser cut to the former shapes, a lot easier than using a jigsaw.</P> <P>John </P> <P>RJR Branch Line</P> <P>Ps if I didnt explain myself very well just let me know :)</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
