Here is a video of the helmet, only a very few loose ends are left: I'm gunna get some kind of more permanent connection to the arduino and the green light on the left side is out. ya, so if you guys got any questions fire away, other than that I am happy with what I've done ^^

So I am basically done the helmet now, here is some pics here's the amount of hot glue that I used to attach the wires, my fingers still are burnt from this Here's a pic of how glorious it looks on me: next is electronics....

wow, you did a great job on the helmet. I have a question though, what did you use to fasten the visor to the helmet? (like which kind of glue)

It really depends, if you are willing to spend the money to make a mold, I would say the end result is worth it...but I'm talking around 500 dollars for the materials. I went with polytek, I used easy-flo 60 for the polyurethane mold, then poly 1512-x and polyfiber for the outer shell, and then...

Update time! I finished off the mold and took the original helmet out: cut out the visor and painted the original helmet as colour test: So my first cast was a failure, I poured too much polygel 40. which resulted in it setting midway and created a giant blob with lots of...

going to update in a min or two, but ya the ear area was tricky. I connected the ear piece when I pepped the design, then after I got the first coat of resin on the outside I took my dremmel and cut to the inner part of the ear piece from the inside of the helmet. Then just fill it with resin...

I couldn't find it on 405th, (I originally did, it was in a pack of pepakura files, described in red text). I did find it with google so here is a link to the user's blogspot: http://pepprops.blogspot.com/2010/06/daft-punk-helmets.html ya, I've been thinking about that. I would definitely...

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...

ok, well I was thinking about this last night, I'm probably going to try petroleum jelly, pam, and maybe the alcohol glycerin thing I'll update you guys later on today, or tomorrow with the results

I've been working making a daft punk helmet, and I decided to make a mold of it. I ordered a polyurethane based rubber (polygel 40 to be exact) and I forgot to order a release agent. Now this wouldn't be a problem if the shipping and import costs weren't four times that of the product and it...

Hey, I'm an engineering student at McMaster University, over the years I have had quite the number of hobbies. In High school I made flash cartoons that were video game parodies, I stopped after I got bored of it. I always thought it would be cool to make some Mjolnir armour and that's how I...
