Hi all,
I've received many requests in the last year for a PDO version of the ANH Symmetrical Stormtrooper helmet, and I've finally gotten around to it. I previously only posted a PDF file generated from Pepakura, along with my MQO files, but not the actual Pepakura file. Everyone hated the fact that I deleted all the edge tabs. With the PDO, that is no longer a problem.
I've also revised quite a few features on the model in Metasequoia. Here's what it looks like:
![]()
The eyes have been cleaned up and simplified considerably.
I revised the ears, and also tilted the ear boxes. I had the ear boxes level previously, because it fit in with the whole symmetrical idea, but it just looks more natural tilted.
I've also revised the model so that the back plate and the faceplate do not align under the ears - you'll notice a gap between them. This is consistent with the film used ANH helmet. In my older model I aligned the front and back plates and the result was the ears looked wrong from the rear.
Here's what it looks like under the ears:
![]()
In addition, the PDO includes all the details on the helmet that I left off the Pepakura print-out previously, such as aerators, brow band, vocoder, etc.
Click here for the PDO file. Just download it and open the file in Pepakura Viewer.
Click here for references and measurements to aid in construction.
Enjoy!
