Kinda hard to admit, but I agree with you about the Helmet !
One of the reasons for me to use a Clone based helmet is the availability of hasbro clone helmets when Madno buckets are quite hard to find in France. I thought I could not succced in a scratchbluild bucket.
I'm satisfied with the result, but the more the armor advances, the more I think that a non Mando helmet won't fit !!!
I'm trying to get a Mando helmet at decent price, but it seems I'm cursed:
-I mailed FettPride for a budget one, no answrer
-I mailed SgtFangs for one of his kits, no answer
-I missed 2 ebay auctions (trying to get sure if it's a recast takes time, and the auctions went closed...)
So once the armor (upper AND lower) is done, I'll go on with a Mando bucket...
