Description Well, like any good Star Wars fan (and a helmet-fan), I always loved Luke's classic Rebel Fighter Pilot Helmet.  But "design-wise," there were always just a few little things about that design that bugged me.  Well, with the introduction of the new Resistance Fighter Pilot Helmet in Episode 7, they went and fixed most of my design issues.  I was thrilled!  Then half-way through the movie, they went and introduced an all-black version of the helmet for Poe!  I was giddy!  Then for Episode 8, it looks like they fixed the oddly high goggle-cover area, and now I absolutely love it!  So here is my tribute to this awesome helmet design, showing it from all different angles.  The stripes, the cool emblems, the asymmetry, the Aurebesh text, the details, I just love it all!  And best of all, the design team for this helmet kept all of the design features that I loved from the original Rebel Helmet, and just improved it in the few places where it needed a little refinement.  I think the resulting design really rocks.

I am very impressed. I need to model up this helmet so I can make one for Halloween and I am not entirely sure where to begin. If you've got any tips that would be helpful. I'll be working in Solidworks or Creo. The complex curves and decals all look really good. Keep it up!

Best of luck on your project.  Hopefully my schematics will be of some help to you.  If you want to save yourself a lot of time and trouble, Hasbro makes a pretty darned nice replica for a pretty reasonable price.

Hey, thanks! Your images will be most excellent references, and I am grateful for them. I'll be basing my model on a motorcycle helmet of some description. I am hoping to use photogrammetry to get the general size into the CAD package first. Buying one will be a last resort. The joy is in the building! Plus there are some pretty sweet prizes on offer for the winner if the costume is hand-made. I will be sure to post up the results with some credit to you if I do the item justice.

Surprise! I didn't forget (and I am aware I am a random internet person spamming your page, sorry). I got some of it done, if not as much as I wanted: Halloween 2018

The modelling in SW nearly caused a small mental breakdown.
