Great display, particuarly like the helmets and pics underneath.

Nice, but it's not very clear to me what's going on with the helmets.
You restored the M35 helmet, but the M40 and M42 are still original? Or did I misunderstood you?

Very nicely displayed collection. Genious to show pictures of the items in use. It makes the whole display come alive...

Where did you get the glass display cabinet? It doesn't look like it's from Ikea.

[SteelhelmJim]

IKEA all the way. And I do believe that they still sell them. It was around $129.

By the way Jim where did you get the helmet stands????? Matt

[SteelhelmJim]

Matt,

I made the helmet stands from ready made wooden parts and some rubberized material that comes in sheets (for the bottom and top of the stands, to prevent slippage) that I bought at Hobby Lobby. It probably cost less than three or four bucks apiece for the parts. Add a couple of screws for each stand (to attach the base and top piece) and then about fifteen or twenty minutes labor time and you have a stand. Add paint if desired. It's easy.
