Daft Punk Guy-Manuel Helmet Build

[Zackf1337]

If you wouldn't mind posting just the width and length of the bottom of your helmet, that would be enough to get me started. I had a helmet I was working on at college but after some water damage i ended up throwing it out. I should have saved it for the dimensions because they were pretty close, but now I can't seem to get them right again. Argh.

Thanks again man.

A little more progress:

Looks great

Sorry, you'd asked for dimensions and I forgot to get them to you. I'll post them this weekend.

It looks like 9 3/4" at widest point, and 14" long at the base.

This is coming along great,
If you trying to find some thing more solid for the circuit inserts you could always make a silicon mold of what youve got then pure resin ones that way they would be solid plastic,
Just a thought any way,

Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated. I'm thinking at this point of using PET left over after the vacuforming, but I may need some backup options as well!

Finally looking at a final version... This is coming together!

How's it coming along?

 

[Thermistor]

Lots o' sanding - I'll probably post pictures tomorrow night.

Cant wait to see more of this build

I think this picture captures both the triumphs thus far and the work yet remaining. And everything looks better with a new coat of paint.

The ear detail is just a placeholder, the actual will now (I think) be laser-cut acrylic as soon as my brother comes through.

I'm also waiting on the "swiss cheese" holes until I get the rest of the shape final. I'm trying to conserve bondo - I've gone through way too much already!

really cool. Nice work

It's looking awesome so far! can't wait to see it finished

 

[Thermistor]

More progress, including some laser-cut sexiness:

The ear pieces aren't attached yet, nor the plastic to the ear pieces.

That front shape is incredible man, just enough ''chin''. Looking amazing so far..

 

[geordi]

Fantastic piece of work
