MrPinski's Daft Punk Guy Manuel Helmet (PEP)

[MrPinski]

Made a lip for the shield to sit on.
I first taped the shield in place where I wanted it to sit. Then covered all the seams with electrical tape.

Then I coated the inside of the shield with some vegi oil and applied some bondo to the inside and let it harden. I removed the tape and...off came the shield! INSTANT LIP!!! haha

Then I cut the lip down a bit 1/4" of an inch left all around and some primer...

This is how it currently looks.

I love all these coming up now! looks great man! how did that window tint spray stuff work, i was looking into some of that stuff but never bought any.

 

[MrPinski]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I did a little bit of painting and wanted to show ya what a spray can will do! haha. The back will be done soon. I just need to cut it and put on some wires. HERE are the pics.

Just so you know I am still working... Making a new shield for the Guy Dome...

Just gotta do some final trimmings to make it fit perfect.

ATTEMPT NUMBER 1-3 = EPIC FAIL!!!

ATTEMPT NUMBER4 = GREAT SUCCESS!

NEEDS A LITTLE MORE SHAPING AND BONDO HERE AND THERE TO MAKE IT FIT PERFECT! GETTING THERE!

Great job!! How do you heated up the acryl plate evenly?

 

[MrPinski]

In the oven at 340 degrees.

 

[MrPinski]

So... As promised, the back plate is in.

Oh yeah, I scratched it so thats why it's primered again...
