Hey everyone, so I am working on Guy-Manuel's helmet from Daft Punk. This is my first project, and I wanted to go all out, so I have ^^
Started Pepping, watched some big bang theory on mah comp to keep me sane!
Here is the fully pepped helmet:
Fully resined and partially Bondo'd:
Fully Bondo'd, painted in primer to get better look at curvature and defects:
Now here is where my method differs from most, I HATE the fiberglassed inside, so I wanted a plastic helmet. Time to start spending tonnes of moneyz:
Here is the clay wall, I caught a break since the clay came in bars:
This just doesn't look right lol:
got about 4 layers of the rubber, then made a plastic shell:
Here is the plastic shell:
Currently I'm coating the second half in rubber, but it's thunder and rain out there. I should have the full mold finished by the end of the weekend. I will start making the vacuum former next week.
I am thinking of getting 1/8 inch acrylic sheet, getting two heat guns and going at it. I also got a Arduino microcontroller (mega 2560) and I'm going to program all the lights into patterns.
I'll keep you all posted on my progress and feel free to ask me anything.
