Counted the lines on the back of the helmet and there is somewhere between 20-22 lines on the helmet back. Hard to tell for sure though.

The TOP of this helmet is SUPER flat. I thought it was photo distortion at first but the more pics that are revealed indicate it's not picture distortion at all. Super flat. Have we found a suitable helmet beyond the M1 which is very round at the top?

Yeah, I noticed that too, that the helmet underneath the cloth looks pretty flat. I'm wondering if it really is an M1, though I'm far from knowledgeable in terms of military gear, so what do I know...

YEah its kinda hard to tell. . . 3RoMuq017GTmvcZjql3ixeVE9-umtKSxdjqE5EkIZnKDbGsl_IECMeiRFTlrN7pEyTJVJi4wtA=w864-h648-no.jpggXcDfgbza8QdeHSYO2PYVK45GPBbduHdGp4ZzCT-XD3lXolnJEUnVfPL_N-SeL31X0k7I1_igg=w864-h648-no.jpgXRu-zAPsRh0_qnGIN2tZW9_mBWHkDX4si3ACc1rxZ8zS1xWCUnrGOuRkeiIent9--XAIa-EAjA=w864-h648-no.jpg


It looks pretty rounded on the poster pic, but I agee about the flatness do you think they just added some padding under the cloth? the Buckles scream M1.
I currently have12x 2mm gaps with 10mm sections and 13 segments.

Edit; Looking at the newer images tonight its pretty close but I can do better. The grill section is inside the back pannel rather than a part of it. you can see the grill section in black, and as Thain said more segments. they must be quite small, mine are 10mm wide with 2mm gap.

RebelHELMEMET TO PRINT BACK SECTION v1.png
The Image is flipped but I think the back pannel is about right. just needs tinkering. I still believe its an M1 with padding to make it look different. as you can see I have followed the profile so I think a bit of extra padding under the cloth will change the shape acordingly.
 
I was talking with a friend who was on set and he confirmed that the ribbed padding goes almost all the way down to just above the brim. That is why the shape is slightly different in profile. :)

I am pretty confident that it is indeed the M1 helmet, and the tiny variation and "flatness" we see in some helmets boils down to the padding.

OK here we go. . .
After hours of deliberation over the reference material and replicating it in fusion 360 I have something to show that is tangible. I'm very pleased that the ReMake software was successful in converting the M1 helmet to to a 3d model and that I was able to scale it correctly. Now that the armor piece has been printed it actually fits over the helmet snug with a little room around the top for the padding that will be sewn into the baffles giving the helmet that rebel feel. The 1st prototype is pretty close and having it in hand enables me to make a few changes.

The changes are;
Slightly lower the front brim of the armor.
Bring the rear top angle section further around.
The back grill panel needs to curve around the helmet more to match the top angle which will give more room for the grill section, and most of all be more accurate.

I forgot to add some registration marks between the back and front. I will add them for the next one, to send to @Mr Mould Maker. you can just see the middle join is a touch out of vertical alignment.

Oh and I forgot to say I was so nervous while putting it together, freaking out that it would be a bad fit.

I think it looks great, and don't want to be that guy... but we are maybe a couple weeks or days away from books of reference...

Any chance of 2 runs?... one for those who want a rush on opening night, and one after when they've been on display or when there's HD pic reference...?

I just think of those tiny Kylo Ren sabers floating around...
