headgear evolution display

[James C]

hi guys ive been kicking around this idea of displaying lids i normally just bunch the helmet's of a particular period together but thought it might work showing the evolution of the same nations helmets ww2 through to more modern times , what do you think

[Normandie]

why do you like gasmasks so much?

[Poromies]

I like it very much, makes your already excellent display über excellent, and in my opinion, the gas masks complete the helmet displays

hi norman die probably for the same reason that i love lids and thanks poromies glad you like

That's how mine are displayed. I think there has to be some logic in that, but space is going to be a problem when you see all the gaps you will need to fill in the evolution of the type of helmet you are displaying. That's from personal experience!
With this pic from an earlier post, imagine all the different types of M1 I would need to complete the set! I got a lot, but will never get them all, considering liner makes, cammo covers paint schemes over 45 years or so. You will always see a gap for something to fill

Best Regards,
