Hi,
Thought I'd share some pictures of a Daft Punk Thomas helmet I'm working on. I've never done anything like this before and am sort of winging it.
Its a pepakura base, fiberglassed with car body-filler on top. I don't plan to cast it due to a tight budget and It's not quite perfect dimension wise. The helmet is quite heavy and stinks of fibreglass. I want it to be wearable but realistically I wont be wearing it for extended periods so this isn't such an issue.
I downloaded the pep file from here: http://artbetep.deviantart.com/art/Daft-Punk-s-Electroma-Thomas-helmet-papercraft-335308771
I still have parts to smooth and touch up. The visor is 2mm PETG plastic which I cut out with a dremel and used a hair-dryer to bend to shape. I may try some car window tint film rather than dye the visor.
The ear pucks are next. I'm either going to use a 3D printer or lathe them from a hard insulation foam. What do you think?
I don't have access to the proper tools so I'm going to try my local Hacksapce for some help.
I used Sketchup to make some mock up sub-visors to hold the LEDs. I plan to paint it using Alclad Mirror Chrome then look at installing some electronics.

Ill post some more pics when I make some progress.
Cheers
