Daft Punk - Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo Build

[Sorenzo]

Soooo, after a nice pristine coat of brilliant white I was able to highlight the area's for improvement/ammending.

The first obvious is the squareness of the chin and bottom of the visor, still can't believe i never spotted this myself, so again thanks to Agent RayBan, would have been severly pissed if this one had slipped thu!

Some minor blemishes need to be sorted too. some of the seams could do with a bit more attention

Also some paint dusting from the multiple layers of primer has occured in some hard to reach places.

I'm not too sure if i'm happy with the curves on the front side of the chin, trying to picture what it will look like once pulled?

and finally, this curve on both sides defo need a touch up!!

This will keep me busy for the next week or so!

Hey just something I noticed about your HAA/Discovery helmet, the back bar of yours doesnt seem to stick out very far. Only reason I point this out is because you are going for accuracy; I don't mean to try to generate more work for you than you already have!

No no, i appreciate all the comments. This image does seem to show the back bar stick out quite far. I had thought mine stuck out enough, but i'll have a look at it tomorrow, maybe mess round a bit on Photoshop, i think having the space below the bar voided might give a better representation.

Fantastic work! Love how your helmets are coming out.
Also the Adidas Cantina video has a couple of good shots of Daft Punk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Zd_khk6zXo

All my focus (which has been very little the past few weeks unfortunatly) has been directed at my Tron lid. Don't have enough space to work on them all similtaneously, once i've nailed Tron i'll start working on Thomas and Guy again.

Sorry mate, still working on the Tron lid.

Freaking art work man!

i would love to see some progress on this. it has turned out so beautiful thus far. Makes me consider smashing my own and doing it all over again.

It's been quite a while since I last worked on my classic Guy lid, partly because I knew he need most work. Over the course of the year, from continuing research and feedback from you guys here and others, I realised that there were a few inaccuracies. The most obvious was the square of the chin,which is just about sorted.

It was also pointed out to me that the rear as a little off. I mocked up this really quick image to help identify this.

Quick a difference, looks like I'll be having a fun weekend :/

You already know how I feel about this via Facebook. Keep up the great work mate!

 

[Rabid Irish]

How did the changes to your lid work out?

 

[Sorenzo]

Fantastically, looks much better now. Just about got it ready for the final paint and buff before casting. Will get some pics up next week

 

[Rabid Irish]

Can't wait to see it.

Guy-Manuel is being wet sanded as we speak (well not this second, I'm using the computer now, that would be irresponsible to do both at the same time) will update the thread in the next 24hrs. You can get a sneak peak here

I like the form of yours more than the original.

Guy-Mans original? Cheers

I tried to make this to be as universal as possible. To me, there appeared to be very sutble difference in this Helmet over the years, Homework,Discovery,HAA and Electromo, not just with the lighting. I wanted a piece that could fit all these era rather than just one. It think I've achieve that?

 

[Teese]

I'd say so! Do you have any profile pics? The ones on facebook make the back end look rather distorted. I just want to see how much you increased the back end by, kinda a before and after from v1.

Very nice looking bucket, love your your smooth lines.
