Where do you display your Blackhawk/Pavehawk?

I have a BBI Pavehawk coming in, and I know its a big model. Where do you guys display your Blackhawk/Pavehawk model? I think I will put in on a desk I have in my back room, but do some of you guys have yours hung from the ceiling?

My Blackhawk and Apache are currently both hanging from the ceiling in my living room at home, but they have also been displayed "on the ground" on horizontal filing cabinets in my office at work. That actually made for a nice display - the choppers on simulated tarmac (printed and mounted on foam-core), with a couple support vehicles and miscellaneous crates, barrels, and armament racks positioned around.

And either way, they are big, without a doubt.

Sine the Blackhawk is quite large, I usually display it hanging on my ceiling. There is lots of potential to make some fun setups with the helicopter and figures.

Mine, for example, has a full crew and passenger compliment, so I display the helicopter with the side doors open. The open doors reveal the troops sitting on the benches, carrying their weapons or other supplies. On the right side of the helicopter, where drop-rope is, I usually have a soldier rappelling down while one of the crew chief figures steadies the rope. It all makes for a dramatic display

If you have the table space, creating a sort of ground dio is also quite feasable, such as having soldiers or crew loading or offloading from the helicopter.

BH is hanging from the ceiling.

My Apache is on the floor in parts, waiting to get sold by me when I take the time to get off my duff and actually sell it.

mine is displayed on a shelf and since the rotors of the huge hélicopters are large i display only 3 blades out of of 4 ! ... and i change regulary to avoid the sagging effect (the blades tend to drop a little ...)

the display is impressive ....

All my Helicopters are at work in my classroom. I use them as training aids for the students. Mainly for evasion stuff for the survival equipment on board. and they are just nice to look at.
