Helmet stands

[psimun]

Hi. Just recently received an eFX Stormtrooper ANH helmet.
I also have the Luke X-Wing ANH and Vader ANH LE helmets on the way.
What is the best type of stand for stormy that you can recommend?

If you have a Crazyclarks near by you can pick up a dunny roll holder for $10, alluminium post black base, you just need to trim the post down a bit & ad some foam at the top to pad it out

Nice cheap option. Thanks shocktrooper

No worries, I bought one for that purpose but the wife stole it for loo paper :(

works well for me
stand= $6.29
foam= $2.00

for those who are satisfied with a basic cheap solution,
this does the trick:lecture
thanks again shocktrooper:clap

An eFX type plaque would be nice....dunno where i could source one?

Excuse my ignorance, What does "Altmann's armour phase 2 edition" mean?
Thanks again for your help

[shocktrooper_au]

Altmann's Armour is a out of production bussines owned by Steve Altmann here in Australia. He aquired the rights to produce Lucasfilm Star Wars helmets back in the late 90's and this continued until 2004.
When Altmann's licence expired he aquired a more accurate mold and continued making Stormtrooper helmets, "hence" the phase 2 which was purchased directly from Steve by my older brother back in 2005.

Here is the official product page of the limited edition of 500 phase 1.
As you can see it looks terrible..

Thanks shocktrooper, yeh the phase 1 is a shocker..:horror
The Altmanns biker turned out great..:clap

[shocktrooper_au]

Yeah it did, back in the days when nothing looked like the props it was one of the closest LOL. It was of my very 1st 1:1 and just as I was getting into 1/6 with the hasbro figures, cost a relative small fortune too. still holds up fairly well to the MR & EFX helms I have displayed with it

IMO the Altmann's biker is the best licenced reproduction helmet made.
