What's a good way to display the Tie Pilot Helmet? If u put it on a hat stand, can u run some hoses under it? Don't think I want to see the holes. Anyone know what hoses would fit nicely and look good??

I don't know the specific name, but I would check a hardware store for that hose.

I just got one of those mannequin displays for scarves.

TIE Pilot helmet without hoses looks incomplete. You can check out the Jolly Roger Squadron, and look for Targ hoses, pretty good quality: https://www.jrs501st.com/forums/index.php?

Nice. Put a black t-shirt on it and you're done

Can you guys recommend a presentable way to display a helmet?
I've been looking at different hat holders and display stands for wigs but not impressed with those.

I used 32mm (1 1/4") pond hose, got 1m length for less than the price of a pint of beer

Yup, that's all you need. Looks good Dan.

I don't have a picture unfortunately but someone was using this and it looked great:

That holder + a little styrofoam sphere you get from michaels or something stuck on the end of it.

Not bad. I'll look into some more paper towel holders. Thanks!

I got mine from some guy named Walt on the 501st forums. It's a "WTF Kit", I believe it's called. It looks like he sells them in these sets.

Hard to beat these at $6 each from Ikea



I've also been thinking about using the floor lamp version to easily display helmets in areas without shelving.

 

[dms54nyc]

a lamp, bright idea!

 

[Centurion]

Yeah! Why not. If it's got a nice base and is sturdy enough.

Yeah! Why not. If it's got a nice base and is sturdy enough.

And you can plug it in and burn up your helmet at the same time

LOL!

I want to start getting into 1:1 helmets. Looking to make Vader my first. So here's my question: is there a comprehensive list of official and non-official releases? I'm currently looking into the Quasimodo ESB. Also considering the SE EFX as an affordable ANH. Any help would be appreciated.

https://starwarshelmets.com is probably a good starting point.
