daft punk has a special place in my heart next to ***** ******(not really). But seriously daft punk is probably my favorite artist out there not only for the awesome music but also the love of those awesome helmets! ive always wanted to have or make a daft punk helmet but since ive seen volpin do it it looked way difficult but then again this was a year ago, yeah. i wouldnt say im a expert but i defiantly know what im doing. but i started this build when i didnt really know what im doing. i have been working on this build for a little less than a year so lets hope you guys like it.
So i start out with pepakura thats paper craft in Japanese
Then i fiberglassed the inside and a coat of resin on the outside
So now its on to bondo now back then i didnt how what this stuff was neither did i know how to use it so bare with me
The bondo stage was a rinse and repeat stage so trust me it starts to look better. The visor and back panel was way too deformed for me to work on it so I decided to throw those away and start from scratch. I cut out the pepakura visor And sprayed expanding foam inside to get a nice form.
So i finally has have a smooth helmet but the visor looks a little flat on the top thats a problem for a perfectionist like me. So i fixed it with some styrene and florist foam.
I also added some detail with some apoxie scultp
just add a little spott putty
The back looked a little to flaring out fo a grinded it down
So thats about a little less than a year progress
Hows it look? Does it look as good as the original? I might have second thoughts about remaking this whole helmet tell me what you think
