Incredible. I've been interested in doing the Stormtrooper helmet (since I don't have quite the budget to be forking out $3+ for Stormtroopers) so I can model large scenes involving them. But I'm blanking on how to tackle such a small detailed part. (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that I posted the Darth Vader minifig helmet to the parts tracker last night. (URL) you download it, be sure to get all the unofficial primitives. Paul (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Looking at how the geometry is layed out, I think you've hit a limitation in LDView's smoothing algorithm. In other words, the lack of smoothness is caused by a problem with LDView, not by a problem with your layout. The basic cause of the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Actually, it's not a new primitive, but it doesn't fit under the current naming scheme.
