Hey all,
I was commissioned to build a helmet from the Daft Punk animated film "interstella". It is visible for about 3 seconds total so don't blink or you'll miss it! No lights on this one but it will feature a movable visor.
I started with a youth sized batting helmet that fits the client. I cut off the brim and a section of the back to make way for the new geometry.
I then added insulation foam to build up the new areas as well as round the overall shape.
Next comes the first of many Bondo coats to start refining the shape.
Side view
The crest and ear pieces will go on once I have the main helmet "baby's butt" smooth. The visor will have to be built once I pull a resin copy.
I welcome your comments!
