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. I'll probably do the Rebel helmet first, since that looks
much simpler. And of course, if somebody beats me to either helmet, well,
then I get to do rendered dioramas much sooner.
So far, the only technique that I've thought up is to take photographs from
the 6 axis viewpoints and map the points that way using the pixel locations
(two images are needed to get all three coordinates for each point). It
seems that you may have a better technique for doing complex detailed parts.
Would you care to share a few tips?
Also, not to nitpick or anything, but hat is the last word I think of when I
think of Darth Vader's helmet. Especially since there are already minifig
helmets listed. Although if I'm searching through MLCad, I'd probably just
do a find on Vader anyway.
Again, this is cool. Maybe somebody will render the ROTJ ending with
Vader's helmet in the fire (since this is impractical to do for real).
