Hello all, I have started on tackling a daft punk helmet, Guy Manuel De Homen-Christo’s helmet. To be even more specific, which era of helmet? Discovery, Transition, Human after All, Tron, RAM??? The one that comes after RAM which is to be seen when they finish their next album. But it’s the discovery era helmet. I personally love the discovery helmets, and wish daft punk would go back to wearing them. Not re-wearing the old Helmets. God no, But to have them modernized same LED displays and working gauntlets and maybe a smaller back pack. Electronics have changed so drastically over the last 20 years! Bluetooth displays I’ve seen in some peoples Thomas LED display could be a cool addition to the helmets. And the newer Discovery helmets would have fans in them unlike the originals, and they’d be able to see out of them. Anyway before I dive into my build of this helmet so far, I’d like to thank and give credit to where credit is due, below are builders and fans of Daft Punk that I have followed through the years and have really stood out to me, please do Be sure to check them out! I will be referencing parts in my build that I learned from some of the people below since they have taught me what works and what doesn’t.

So where to start on sculpting this helmet? Well from reference photos of course, some examples below of what I’m aiming for, I will eventually want to tackle the LEDs for both helmets but that’s a future project way down the road.
But What I started with was Dung0beetles TRON ERA Guy Manuel Helmet pepakura helmet and scaled it up to 105% since I’ve heard and read that resin does shrink so just to be safe went 5% over the regular. Why did I start with a Tron Era Guy Manuel helmet? If you look at 2StoryProps discovery Guy man helmet what they did was sculpt on top of their Tron Guy Manuel helmet mother mold. So I thought that be a good starting point.
Right now I have been sanding the dome visor era trying to get the right original shape, thanks to Brunnosti for making his Guy Manuel HAA Helmet the visor on it is spot on. Thats all for the intro I will be posting more progress later on, but didn't want to over do the first post. Thanks so much for viewing! Later on if you have suggestions on the helmet please post so in the thread and drawing on the photos helps immensely for me to understand what your referring to. Thanks and build on my friends!
