Re: Daft Punk - Guy Manuel Tron Build
The whole process is logged on this thread or on my Guy-Manuel thread. Both Helmets use alot of the same processes so I may not have mentioned every little detail. The ears were formed from MDF with lazer-cut detailed acrylic inserts and then vaccum formed over.

Thank you so much, i'm glad your enjoying my builds.
you should definatley get busy on your own, its good to watch others make, but so much more rewarding to do it for yourself!

Re: Daft Punk - Guy Manuel Tron Build
Thanks for the comments guys, had another set back this week (i'm starting to **** myself off with the severe lack of progress in recent weeks) But i'm back at it this weekend, my schedule is cleared ( i hope :wacko ) for the next 2 weeks, so its full steam ahead.

Re: Daft Punk - Guy Manuel Tron Build
Spent a bit of time with the back of this bucket. getting the raised sections rounded off really help the overall look. glad i took the time to do it.
Next on the list of improvments was the chin section. It was very obvious that the chin section was considerably squared. this was something i had always considered in the planning, however looking over my build and comparing it to recent pics of Guys post Tron lid, i wasn't happy
I attached a piece of flat styrene the same size and shape i wanted the flat panel to be and then filled in around the sides with filler.
A few rounds of sanding and filling and it was starting to take shape.
I'm going to sqaure off the visor before i completely finish the chin, but tomorrow is another day

Re: Daft Punk - Guy Manuel Tron Build
Had a minor set back, forget to tell you all. I noticed that some of the lazer cut detail on the ear pieces was almost completely covered with layers of paint. For some reason 3 circles were not as pronounced as the rest of the details.
I tried to clear the paint away, put they were far to small. In my attempts i managed to do more damage than good, so i had no choice but to cover them up. Not entirely happy about this, but I reckon it doesn't look too bad??
What do you think??

Re: Daft Punk - Guy Manuel Tron Build
Time for the visor. I used the same technique as the chin to square it off a bit.
After about a day of sanding, painting, filling and repeating it looked like this.
and after another day of the same, i was finally happy.
I reckon i'll need about a day or so to get it blemish free, then it'll be a some serious painting and sanding before casting.
Its getting exciting.

Did a quick photo shoot with the Helmets a while ago, just came across the images last night, had almost forgot about them.
Some nice lighting
Close up of the detail
My personal fave for the shoot.
