wow, your project list looks fun!
i've bumped my clone stuff up to the top of my list, so it should be zipping along. my $30 hasbro helmet made me get an armor kit, and now i'm building a whole suit!

This helmet is going to look great once you're finished, and I too plan to modify one for myself.
As for these not being accepted for a 501st Clone costume... why not? They look far better than any modified Kellogs that I've seen. Below is a pic of one of my squad mates wearing an un-modified hasbro with his clone armor.

Ok after a few weeks of not even looking at this helmet I decided to pick up and carry on, mainly thanks to the fact that Brian got his finished and cast in less time than it took me to primer mine
All I have done lately is to round off the corners of the visor as they were a little to angled for my liking, I have also built up the around the top of the visor by a few MM as I felt it was too wide, I am nearly there with this, although I need to decide what to do about the chin, its massive, I may just cut it off and rebuild it!

Argh!!! Ok, I have been feeling unwell lately and so whilst highly medicated I decided to bite the bullet and cut off the clones chin!! I have been toying with the idea of this for a while as the chin is very cartoony, it sticks out quite far, really I want a helmet that leans more towards the AOTC clones, so having removed this section I will now start re-building it, giving the clone a face lift if you like!

Ok, here is the slightly trimmed back chin, taped into position to give the overall look of how the new profile will appear, I think it looks loads better, next up, tons of filler, my favourite...........

Ha, may be able to help you out with that real soon mate 
Ok I decided that instead of slapping a load of filler on the chin and sanding and sanding endlessly to get the right contour I would just build another chin out of styrene, lay it over the old chin and fill in the seams, lazy I know
