Post Your 1:1 Helmets and/or Props

Does anyone know where I can get a poseable mannequin in the U.K at a fair price from please?

For good quality flexible mannequins try Morplan or go to FISD and talk to Dday/Phoenix Props, he is making a run of flexible mannequins in EU.

Nice! Those guys have a license to print money.

So I've been dragging my feet on ordering an RS stunt helmet -- I decided they were the way to go over a year ago, but I've gone back and forth over ABS or PVC. I know the ABS is closer to the spirit of the original prop but I'm also concerned about excessive yellowing over time. But i know PVC can also yellow. Can anyone chime in with their experience? I should really get around to picking one of these up, finally.

ABS is closer to the original than PVC.

Many plastics yellow in time and there is not much we can do, except live with it. Even ABS specially treated and coated will yellow in time. PVC as well. The originals yellowed too

Yeah; this is what I need to integrate into my thinking given my move towards screen-accurate props.

Obviously certain aspects of the materials natural aging process may be mitigated or forestalled based on how we display them, but there will likely come a time ... (!)

Need some advice on a minimalist, budget friendly way of displaying a ESB Boba Fett rifle on the wall. Really don't want to shell out for another custom acrylic stand plus I'm outta room anyway haha so I have to get inventive!

I use curtain holdbacks. You can find them in any department store, Amazon, and other online retailers.
Use them for swords, but stuck up a Fett toy blaster up there, to show the idea:

Had a blast at Wizard World Philly over the weekend. I'm trying to be the best ROTJ Fett out there but I've been waiting on my helmet since last Fall and I really hate that I have to use my MT bucket for now, especially since this is the Artist Proof one given to Tom Hodges.

Too bad about the dome.

Too bad about vague posts.

Here's a video of my life sized Vader and Emperor that I thought some might enjoy. Darth Vader is a work-in-progress and no where near as accurate or refined as most of the Vader's in other people's collections. The Emperor I am happy with and don't see me tweaking much in the future:
