How to make a Daft Punk helmet in 17 months

For more info on the build and process, check out my website: volpinprops.net This video chronicles my odyssey with replicating the iconic gold Daft Punk helmet worn by Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo. Over the process, I took hundreds of pictures, mostly because my crummy digital camera I shoot with has a bum autofocus. What you see are the collection of all of these images, and a little hint of video as well. Programming for the helmet code was done by James Moss. jamesmoss.co.uk Chroming work courtesy of Creations n’ Chrome www.creationsnchrome.com Custom PCBs printed by batchPCB.com (designed by me) batchpcb.com Visor vacuum-forming performed by Mike Iverson www.blindsquirrelprops.blogspot.com Some video and photography courtesy of Emily Krix THIS PROJECT WAS A ONE-OFF. I AM NOT TAKING ORDERS FOR DUPLICATES.

@legoclockfreak710 Do you REALLY think he just makes a step by step tutorial, considering that thing was built in 17 months? Geez, where did your brain go!?

@rorykane94 To be fair, this would of involved, ADVANCED skills in wood-work, mathematics and electronics. I am guessing you’r implying he has down syndrome by calling him retarded, and a ”retards” brain cant possibly hold this much intellect, he would be easily frustrated , hence he is not a retard,

Thankoyu,
