Could anyone give me some pictures or ideas of what position for a flying ruddy duck would look the best? It will be hung from a string from the ceiling.

Better do him swimming 'cause I never see the little buggars flying. They always come swimming into the decoys... I think they swim south!
If he's going to be hanging from the ceiling...flying would be your best option.. :)

i shoot a lot of them flying.but they are hard to hit.best advice i could give you is they fly strate like a arrow and we call them double enders, because you cant tell the head from there tail.
They are quick. You could pose it banking like an F-16
see alot during the season buzzing up the creeks. they seem to just juke to each coordinance . fast ! they are like full feathered darts.I suggest mounting with the wings full spread gliding. keep your mount level , none of this sideways against the wall stuff. keep it three dimensional . customer wont know the right from reality. oh yeah discuise your base attatchment. very important.
almost forgot, when in doubt dead mount. the trick is to use a fancy leather lanyard.
