Not looking to bad you just need to model to your reference, not to bad in side view should need only a little tweeking front view needs a bit more tweeking. As for the thickness you could extrude the whole mesh in a little but only a little...........dave

Good, I tried to soften the front of the helmet. I think the result is pretty good, do you think my helmet is almost perfect now?
