  Lego Stormtrooper Helmet

Hi all,

I'm trying to put together a Lego Stormtrooper mini-fig model. From the 
LDraw library I've managed to find all the parts except the helmet. 
Having had quick look around on the web, I found someone who'd modelled 
a Tie pilot fighter using Google Sketchup:

Using Meshlab I've converted the helmet into an OBJ file. Using PoseRay 
I've then rendered the helmet into Pov-Ray.

I'm now experimenting with CSG/UV texture mapping to add the colours 
and the pattern detail to the helmet. It seems quite fiddly trying to 
line everything up on the model. What's the best way to do this?

Can anyone else find a better free stormtrooper helmet model?

BTW - I've added some of my Lego rendering experiments to my website:

Thanks
