Posted: 11/16/2018 12:31:08 AM EDT

Stop laughing.

I want to stop throwing my OpsCore and my NightCap in the garage with all my other crap when I come home and do a gear dump. You guys that post pics with mannequin heads:where are you getting them and what do I need to look for?

I would also like to know where these are acquired...

I currently just toss mine pad side up into a load out bag (so the pads can dry).

Beauty schools frequently have dropouts who'll leave theirs behind.

most are styrofoam, so you'll need to mount it on some kind of base to keep them from tipping over when you put a heavy helmet with nods on it.

most likely cut a square base out of wood and mount a dowel on it, then the foam head would have a hole the dowel would go in, and the head would sit it and the base

There is really no way to go about acquiring mannequin heads and not have it be creepy.

Putting NV and helmets on them doesn't help.

Not sure about your wife, but mine frowns on using real heads...

A friend in property management did a eviction and found a bunch of the "beauty skewl" heads like others talked about. He brought them up for our range to use. Nothing like having a trashbag full of realistic looking heads laying around your range... "Hey you, grab that bag of heads let's set up some targets" Just comes off all wrong somehow...

That looks good. Did you have to fill it with anything to make it denser?

I’d rather use a cool skull. Anyone got a bead on those?

My sister in law attended a beauty school and I inherited four or five of her project heads. Good ones- real hair, thick latex. I took a razor and cut the back open and scooped out enough styrofoam to fit 2 pounds of tannerite in them and then stitched them back up. The heads are made to go on a pole so we mounted them on a broom stick.. Worked great. One second Whitney was there, next second Whitney was gone.....

Med school, although I don't think they'd be very responsive.

I use the head stand that came with my CoD game. Sold the toy nods for good money on eBay. Then I took some old skull Halloween decorations for night caps.
