prop helmet wall mount

[tictoc]

There was a thread not to long ago, I think it was Jedyfife, showing how to display a prop helmet on a wall.

I built these a while back to mount some of our helmets.

It's based off a motorcycle helmet mount. We have lots of motorcycles and I thought the design was neat.

I used junk wood (Black paint covers a mult. of sins). I'm cheap but you could use metal bent in nice lines or nicer wood.

Just an idea for those who were interested. Hope it's useful.

Looks great....very solid. I would add a nice custome plaque in front of the mount and it would be perfect

That's a good idea. I like that, right on the front edge.

Very nice indeed. If I used this idea to wall-mount my 5 or 6 Stormtrooper helmets, the room would look like an Ewok Hunting Lodge! LOL
Think about it.... humans hunt and kill Moose, Wild Boars etc. and mount their heads on a wall..... Ewoks hunt Stormtroopers and Biker Scouts, and naturally, they would proudly display the heads of their prey on the wall! :confused :confused :lol

I added some detail to these at someone's suggestion. Still need to add a name plaque of some sort to the front.

Your mount looks great! Have you thought about selling these?

Wow man I'm very impressed...

 

[Durkness]

I'm glad you both bumped this.... I'll be using this now. Great job on the display!

No. This is something you could make with some wood and paint. I was just trying to inspire someone a bit with an alternative idea.
