PVC Tubing Armor Display Stand - WIP
Tried my hand at building a display stand for the armor using PVC tubing from the local hardware store. Found a tutorial online and it really is pretty simple. Here's the lower half - holding the leg harness pretty securely.
The bottom of the greaves fit nicely onto the tubes at the base.
Tightening the straps behind the knee cops hold the whole harness up on the tubing.
Enough for now, as this was a spur of the moment project. The top half and arms will follow.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael! Can't take credit for the idea - found the tutorial on a site where the guy used the stand for Star Wars costumes :)! Merry Christmas!
DeleteGood thinking that man!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rodger! Appreciate the visit and comments. That said, the idea is not mine - just borrowed from other folk who've gone ahead :) Merry Christmas!
DeleteGreat looking Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Mike! I went ahead an finished the "torso" part - hope to have the arms and head done tonight after work. Merry Christmas!
DeleteWhat a great idea!! You could also fill it with sand or something to give it a bit more stability.
ReplyDeleteSimon - I have to credit the cosplayers for this one :) Merry Christmas!
DeleteYou're a braver man than me sawing up PVC tubing on the living room carpet :-)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Michael, but since it was getting dark and rainy outside I took a chance while my wife was in the other room. Plus I vacuumed up right after. Hope to continue tonight :) Merry Christmas!
