  |  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. (...)   (23 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
