Thanks for your input Joe!.....I hav`nt yet finished the helmet yet, what with other bits and pieces in progress I just do little bits now and again. but it seems the party who started the thread off  ie:  animation nation does`nt appear to be interested in the topic now.

If you want the best reference, without having to keep pausing the movies, check out your local toy store for a small Buzz Lightyear toy (should be less than $10).  In my opinion reference images never match up to a physical object, especially when trying to get a look from that tricky angle that the camera always seems to miss.  Even George Lucas still uses maquettes for the CG objects in Star Wars.
