Re: Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter helmet build
Yep, there's a Pinski Guy and Thomas there now, the other Thomas belongs to David Reimer of 2 Story Props. I think his name on the RPF is Torsoboy. He's also got a TRON style Guy lid there as well.
David's buckets had some issues with chroming; apparently there were very tin pinholes in the gelcoat that caused some stipling around the ears of his Thomas. I believe Pinski's buckets turned out fairly well.
For reference, David's helmets and mine were polyester resin, Pinski's were urethane resin. CnC has gotten the process down pretty well at this point without any more deformation issues.
Looks great! That's nice of them to willingly sand it down and try again, too.
I know they were chroming a Mr.Pinski helmet at the same time as yours, but I think I see a third Thomas in the reflection of your helmet? I wonder if they are sick of Daft Punk lids yet.
