Question Enlighten me on this.
Ok, so I have found 3 uniforms for next to nothing in an old military surplus place. There are 2 NVA tunics, one with two pockets, a type of belt across the bottom and an edelweiss patch on the left sleeve, the other a four pocket tunic sans shoulder boards but with the cuff title Grenztruppen der DDR intact. The third is a Spc 4 US class A dress uniform belonging to a Korean War vet who was in the artillery. It has the ribbons and unit citations all intact.
So, my question is, where does everyone find the mannequins to display their tunics and uniforms? I don’t see anywhere that sells "discount" torsos. I don’t really need legs as the only one with pants is the US uniform. Hats I am thinking can just sit on the top?
I know one person here who has many, many tunics, does not use mannequins at all. FB uses no mannequins. That leads me to the question, is a mannequin a poor way to display because of potential damage? They do take up much more space, but I am not buying an army of tunics.
Thanks for any feedback and ideas!
