Re: Daft Punk Helmet Build
Lookin' smooth!
So, just to sum up your recent travails- A Sweet "Larger project", fell onto your super awesome Daft Punk helmet, very nearly colliding with your mucho tasty automobile?
Dude, I wish I had your problems! And talent! And maybe one of those excellent Portal guns too
Please keep up the good works and keep the pix coming

Re: Daft Punk Helmet Build
When you put it that way, it makes it really hard for people to feel bad for me!
So, I sneezed on the helmet.
...a lot...
It dried a kind of funny color though...
But I think it will work well for molding
First pull:
Detail of the ear area:
Awwwwwwwww yeeeaaahhhhh
Freaking mold has to weigh 20 pounds... my arms are killing me after roto-casting these.

Re: Daft Punk Helmet Build
It looks like your mold is birthing some fine specimens. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
On the final piece, how do you plan to achieve the golden metallic look?
I hope you get over your cold soon
I meant it with the utmost of respect.

I can't belive how sharp the details are in the ears!
Now if you will excuse me, I need to change my pants...

That helmet reminds me of the ones worn in the Robotech series with the motorcycles that transformed (In America, Robotech 3)
Outstanding job.

Re: Daft Punk Helmet Build

Will you be casting the clear dome or vac-form?
I would really like one for my record store. I would be wearing all day....

Re: Daft Punk Helmet Build
Wow, lots of questions...
1) Yes, I will be offering "kits" eventually. You'll have your choice of a resin helmet with or without the visor. I won't be offering these until my original client receives his prop though; I don't think it would be fair for me to sell other people the item he's asked me to make before he gets it. Also, since I'm sending the visor mold to another propmaker for their production, I have to clear things with him first as well.
2) The gold chrome will be vacuum-metalized here: http://www.mmmetalizing.com/
3) Visors will be vacuum-formed out of PETG plastic.
4) Unless someone commissions me to make Thomas' helmet, I don't have any plans to make it. We'll see, my original client has also expressed interest in this. Currently I am booked until freaking April though, so that one might be on the back burner for a while...
Thanks for all the compliments guys! Its been a long road but I'm starting to see light at the end of this tunnel.

Re: Daft Punk Helmet Build
Sorry for the off-topic bump, but I forgot some people had asked a few questions about the car too. "Phoenix" (thats her name) is a 1975 BMW 2002, not a tii or Alpina, but I have converted it to Electronic Fuel Injection. If you're a car nut, or just want to know about the restoration I did, I have a blog on that too: http://2002restoration.blogspot.com/
To keep things on-topic, here's a quick iphone "myspace" shot of me and the cast helmet. This is a very difficult shot to do when you can't see anything! For reference, I'm 5'8" tall (and I'm also a freaking twig at 135lbs soaking wet), and my client is 6'4" or something huge like that. I've scaled it to fit him, but this shows that it will sit well on a variety of different sized people.
oh yeah, the resin pulls weigh about 1.5 pounds. MUCH nicer than wearing the 15lb clay and bondo sculpt!
