So.. I have an old vinyl Episode IV StormTrooper helmet and I was pondering the possibility of repurposing it into a saber dispay holder.

Something like this.. if you'll pardon the horrendously quick-n-dirty photoshop job


It would need some weathering and battle damage added to it, but seems like it might work out..

And just FYI, the helmet has seen better days.. it's probably 10+ years old, is missing both lenses and I swear it has shrunk.. or my head has gotten HUGE as I've aged..

I say go for it, after all, with the missing lenses it's no good as a salad bowl! 

Are you planning on making a "sheath" of some kind to fit inside the helmet, so that the blade of the saber will slide through it?

Keep us posted on how it comes out

Nice.

I love the war trophy look. I have my sabers on a small stand in hilt only form with a bunch of junk like a holocron, food capsules, code cylinders, etc. to make it look like a collection of junk from a lifetime as a Jedi.

Displays like this make the saber feel less like a toy and more like an artifact.

Nice job. Point.

BaH HaH!!

  oh that is wonderful....

Original idea IMO, and best of all, great use of older gear that used to be close to the heart, hard to get rid of stuff like that.

Good Job, Solid Point
