Right, this doesn't really match up with the rest of the threads but I'm not sure where else to put this (it covers more than one nations helmet!). So currently I just have my helmets sitting on a bench, but I would like to try and display more nicely, perhaps raised? But I am not willing to spend all the money I would have to on properly made helmet stands, and would rather find a cheaper alternative to achieve that 'professional' display look!
But of course I do not want to damage the helmet shell's or liner's in any way - is there a way to go about this without that risk?
Don't know if you ever go to flee markets on a search for militaria, but if you do; keep a eye on things that could hold a helmet.
I have all kinds of things, bottles, gun cartiges, stair poles, old flower vases (in any kind of materials), and so on....
Sound stranges but they look good! ;-)
As mentioned by Dan the paper towel holder is a great way to display helmets I as well add very light stainless steel bowls and attach it to the top of the holders after they have been cut down this gives a good solid medium to rest ones helmets on with out damaging the internal furniture the cost is approx $3.50 Cdn each...
My own personal preference is Bamboo when I can find them as I find the wood stands display better...
