Fierfek has been cranking out a lot of Star Wars Pep Files so I thought I would help by offering to unfold and test build the Imperial Gunner Helmet File. The 3d Image File of the helmet looks very close in accuracy to other reference photos of the helmet I could find online. The helmet is made up of a base helmet section, comm box section, front jaw(?) section and rear scoop section.
Fierfek did not know what the dimensions should be on the helmet so I took an educated guess (?) and made it the same width as my Rebel Fleet Trooper Helmet. If you look at a lot of the helmets in SW (Rebel Trooper, Rebel Technician, Death Star Trooper and Imperial Gunner) you can see some similarities in the size, general shape and use of some of the same sections like the comm box unit. If anyone knows something different about the origin of the Gunner Helmet then feel free to speak up!
I have just finished unfolding the helmet and have printed out the pages for the base helmet section. I hope to start assembling tonight and will post pictures of my progress as soon as I can.
