Helmet display stands

[Lythas Vex]

I've noticed some of you have display stands for your Fett masterpieces and was wondering where you obtained them?

i posted the same question a while ago... paper towel holder and a foam ball stuck in the top work killer and no more than 20 buck for a chrome one. i just made one for my new MS3

i'll post a pic tomorrow if you like?

Free standing toilet paper stands at Walmart $9.98.

Modification is required, but it's easy to do. I just did one tonight.

They have to be shortened which requires a piece of threaded rod. Even with that you have less than $15 into and you can custom select the height.

Since it is a toilet paper holder, the base is really heavy to make it stable.

I can post pics later, if anyone wants to see.

The simplest ideas are the best. Sure, I'd love to see your display stand examples. Thanks guys.

This is what mine looked like when I bought it:

Here is how it looks after a few simple mods.

I cut down the tube.

The inner rod that holds this thing together is only threaded on the ends, so I replaced it with threaded rod.

Then I replaced the toilet paper holder with a piece of wood which I added a piece of foam and then covered in black leather looking vinyl.

I had the wood, pleather and foam already. Materials cost me about $13.

I tried the foam ball and did not like it and ended up with this.

My son and I modified it in about 15 minutes.

Since this stand is so tall, you can custom cut the tube to whatever size you like.
