displaying Leviathan

[Sundance]

WTF is with the straw?

haow do you put the aerial togther with him? which way around do you put the backpack?

[SteveD]

Not the easiest to display is he? Between him and the SAS Parachute I got rather frustrated!

[Sundance]

currently, i have the pack on upside down and back to front (cuz of the peg) with the aerial tucked behind the rubberband. i just dunno what to do with the straw...

[SteveD]

I once had mine all stuffed into the holes in the helmets (BEHAVE Paul463!) as if they were some sort of air tube, but I decided against it in the end as I couldn't shake the feeling that they looked like Pikmin. Mine currently have their packs stowed in Swordfish, ready for when they go diving, and they are just prodding around with their aerials! The pipes have been put in a box somewhere, so I can avoid the issue of what to do with them.

is there not a pic on any of the vehicle boxes or something to show what ought to be done?

[The Baron]

I think the pack goes on peg outwards, with the tube connected between the peg and aeriel.

Isn't the tube originally form the Diving Platform?

[SteveD]

Now I'd never thought of that Baron. I bet that looks quite spiffing?

photos in the archive from the Sea Lion and Swordfish aren't high enough resolution to be clear, but looking at Leviathan's card back in the archive, the pack appears to be (somehow) attached to the base of the aerial by the straw. Levi is then holding the aerial. I've attached the straw to the aerial base, and then just shoved the other end into the top right of the pack where the 'crinkled' part of the pack is.

[SteveD]

All of this sort of raises the question as to what the backpack is? If it's air, why is it going to be attached to his lance? If it's not air what is it? Or am I looking into this too much? The guy has, after all, got a large aerial underwater.

And the first person to make a gag about Aerial being the Little Mermaid, and thus constantly underwater gets taken out into the street and shot....
