Well, I based my templates on images from the Gallery and Art's GMH. The top view used was this:



The pepakura file made by Skip (Skupilkinson) was made using WOF's (WizardOfFlight) templates as a base, but lacks accuracy on some areas.

A 2mm thick cardboard is the best choice. In some areas the helmet will be 4mm thick because of the overlaying inner and outer templates.
