How to display only the cover?

[ThatHistoryGuy]

I recently bought a Desert Storm kevlar cover from an Army/Navy Store for only $5. It looks like original graffiti and I thought it was cool. I not realize i can’t really display it without a helmet. I can’t really afford a helmet so what should I do?

You could frame that small graffitied bit, not sure what you would do with the excess material, but a thought…

That isn’t that bad of an idea it’s just if I displayed one part then I would be covering another. The graffiti is on either side of the cover. Thank you though!

Make a form with, wood, styrofoam or cardboard and display it on a helmet stand

Well if it’s both I don’t know, it’s going to look odd without a helmet, I think you may just need to choose between one side or the other and display it in a frame, That’s what I would do without a helmet.

Update: A friend of mine (who unironically wore that kinda camo in Kuwait in 1994) said he is gonna see if he can 3D print a helmet to put it on. I’ll add more updates if it works out. Thank you all for the suggestions!

That would work great, good luck 👍

I have seen airsoft helmets that’re essentially 1:1 scale PASGT helmets made of much lighter material.

 

There was a gentleman selling one at my local flea market a couple weeks ago for <$10
