Helm

ECOX:
@ Lord Rodney, Thank you but it is not of my own making, but a web find.
@ Lord Brian, The rope batting would be much easier and better. I saw some the day after stuffing mine.
@ Sir William, The stand was a Garage sale find. cost me a dollar and would be easy to make some tubing and a pipe bender.
Not sure of the etiquette, did not mean to hijack post.

Leganoth:
I plan on buying a mannequin for my armor, dunno how expensive thatll be though
 

Sir Rodney:
I searched high and low for a used, reasonably priced mannequin to no avail.  Making my own turned out to be my only cost effective answer.  This thread contains several different armour stands and a bit of silliness:

Armour Stand

Sir William:
ECOX, I like it...very utilitarian.

Leganoth, I've checked extensively...mannequins weren't built to hold the weight of armor...if you were only going to hang thin-gauge costume armor then yes, go for it.  Lord Rodney's is but one fine example of an armor stand...although I really do like his.

James de Avesnes:
I was just looking at the mantles displayed in the Codex Manesse and I see that many of the helms display red cords hanging out of them.  Was this some sort of chinstrap that ties akin to Samurai helmets?
