Help Hanging on a Wall

[UglyMoFo]

Sigh. Though I wish it could be with "real" bio helmet, I've decided to hang my very first bio on the wall. It happens to be my ol' Rubies helmet. Does anyone know how to mount one of those on the wall? Help appreciated.

An idea I had was to measure the length from the brow right above the eyes to the back edge.

Then cut wood to that length plus some more, and at the ends make it angled.

Attach magnets to the end of the wood and in the bio where the wood meets it.

Then the other end that is angled mounts to a rectangle of wood that has a slot in it at the top edge, it gets glued.

Paint the wood the color of the bio.

Then that assembly can be hung on a peg or nail.

Here's a concept drawing, the side view shows dark rectangles at the end of the wood piece- these are the magnets.

The front view shows what it looks like when there is no bio mounted:

The angle where the wood piece meets the rectangle of wood could be adjusted so the back jaw part of the bio rests on the wall.

There could be more magnets- at the back end of the bio and that spot on the wood also, for security.

another way, and this has been explained several times before is to use string and a picture hook. if the eyes are mesh, use some strong cotton or fishing ling and thread it through the eyes, tie each side leaving the line at the back, hang it like you would a picture, thats how i have mine and it works fine.
it takes a while to get the length right but it works.

i'd be worried about the magnets sliding with the above method but it could work with some tweaking

Fishing line and a Hook is the way all my bios are held on the wall. just run some clear 30lb fishing line through the eye socket on either side ( so its a big loop ) then pop it on a hook behind ( cue blatant pimping of weapon wall )

Fishing line and a PVC pipe makes the Bio pop out from the wall instead of just hang there...
