Good lord...that is amazing.

Sweet! That'll look awesome!

Another perfect Boba Fett.

Holy ****, rnbuda. That's going to be a masterpiece when it's all together.

 

[Aliaz]

That looks amazing!

Thanks everyone, I answered all the PMs I've gotten. It's been a long project lasting over two years with a lot of ups and downs. It also hasn't been cheap but I'm looking forward to it finally being over besides some upgrades!

To everyone who collects helmets - what do you use to display them if they don't come with a stand? I've heard a lot use paper towel holders. If so, what do you put on the end so the metal doesn't hurt the helmet material over time?

I've seen people use tennis balls with a small cut to fit into the end of the stand.

Good idea. Never thought of that.

I use velvet mannequin heads with the acrylic stands. Best part is the helmets still fits inside of a regular detolf shelf.

Helmet is done! Here's some horrible pictures! Some more updates coming over this Christmas break!

 

[slynger]

Congrats, buddy. That looks fantastic!

 

[clutch]

Yep, that looks like arm and a leg material to me.

There is a guy on RPF and FISD named hdtheater who makes great solid wooden stands with various logos for $15-25: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38914-helmet-stands/. I use them for 90% of the helmets I have that don't come with original stands.

Thanks. Those stands look great.

I just use this velvet mannequin heads with the acrylic bases. Works especially well as they're low enough to still fit a Fett helmet inside of one detolf shelf.

So let's talk about how amazing Phil (Cyberman)'s Yoda sculpt is now with these perfect acrylic eyes...

Sent him a message. Those really look great.

Yeah those stands look great.

Stands look cool. But, HOLY CRAP, that Cyberman Yoda is frighteningly awesome!!!
