Thanks Alex. I have a flexible mannequin that I use. Sturdy and well made, got it from a UK shop called Morplan years ago.

Re: ►► Jkno's Imperial collection from Transylvania ◄◄

The SDS armor I sold to my friend arrived to his house and here is its display for now - he will display the helmet separately:

Display the helmet separately? To each his own I suppose.

He wants to do display the whole armor and the helmet together as soon as he moves to a bigger house, but right now this is the only way to display it in his small apartment. I know what he means, I also moved from a small apartment to my present house a few years ago, and back then I had a ton of collectibles sitting in their original boxes waiting for the big moment.

Oh ok. I'd throw the helmet on it though. It wouldn't take up anymore space really, just needs a little "headroom" lol.

Thank you and welcome to the world of collecting insanity Because collecting might get you there if not careful Everyone starts small fist, and then you evolve in having the collection you desired. Unless you buy a full collection. The thing is to collect what YOU like and display it as YOU like, nevermind others opinions. And always watch your budget, never spend the money you need for more important things in life.

Thanks buddy I looked closely at the Scout helmets from the Kotobukiya statue, Sideshow figure and the GG v1. Scout bust. And the cool thing is that the GG Scout is the most accurate by far, they really nailed the sculpt, the same way they did back then with the original Stormtrooper mini-bust, which even today has one of the most accurate scaled Stormtrooper helmets. Curious if the new Scout bust with rifle has the same accurate helmet sculpt.
