DIY Daft Punk helmet is awesome

Harrison Krix has made the best DIY version of the Daft Punk helmets, this is the Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo helmet, that I've seen so far. He made it over the course of 17 months and while that's quite a long time the results are pretty stellar. Check out the video with several hundred photos of the build process and click the link below for more info and pics.

Daft Punk: FINAL!

I'm really jealous of eccentric inventors such as you; I can't even begin to comprehend making something as intricate as this. In fact, that's how it is with 90% of the instructables I see. I really wish I could make these things. ;n;

you know... people tell others doing useless things "get a job!!" i am have say you just made jobs... this is really great.. are you going to sell them?
bart245 in reply to michaelgohjsAug 15, 2010. 10:05 PM
Yea, I agree! I hate it when people say.... "That guy has too much time on his hands" and the other similar sayings. I say that most people do have extra time on their hands... Just depends on what you do with that time... Watch television? Watch some sports? Go down to the pub? Most people here probably go and build stuff!! LOL!

http://tajt.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/deadmau5.jpg that guy?

that looks pretty easy.....giant foam ball with a head space cut out of it, and big mouse ears...of course, i don't know if there are any electronics involved (i would imagine there would be, since it's a DJ's outfit...what's the point of having it be static?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Ib7A43fM8 here's an example of a basic one
EvilBeagle in reply to crapflingerJul 30, 2010. 12:56 PM
Friend made one.. later added the "press to turn on" under-shelf lights (circular, adhesive on one side.. you know what i'm talking about..) as eyes.. (Pic is a vector conversion, can't find original photo.)

i would like someone to put a full instructable on for this so i could make one myself, i think it would be briliant for fancey dress partys :)
Duh Predator says: Jul 22, 2010. 11:22 PM
Can I PLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEE buy one of them from you? Even without electronics it would be bomb! Ive been try to make something with a face shield like that for months.

paperclip32 in reply to Duh PredatorJul 30, 2010. 4:18 AM
The guy who made this is a pro.It would cost 2k+ for one.Plus,he says he's not making any more since he's been getting too many requests and he can't do his prop-making work.

Pay attention to the text at the top - this is the work of someone else (posted here because it's that good):

Dude I'm twelve too and my older brother got me hooked on Daft Punk. Personally, I feel that Da Funk and Burnin' are noteworthy.

supersuper says: Jul 27, 2010. 8:57 AM
How the hell did he fabricate the acrylic visor for the helmet? Did he have a professional vacuum mould done?

crapflinger in reply to supersuperJul 27, 2010. 11:09 AM
in the video description he says that he had a company do all the vacuu-forming for him

JVC-Force says: Jul 25, 2010. 7:05 AM
Flawless finish. Does he work for movie production (like making props)? This is no amateur job.
online247365 in reply to JVC-ForceJul 25, 2010. 10:24 AM
Yeah, if you look around online you can find his website where he documents the build process for this helmet. And yes, he makes props for a living. Nicely done though, right?
JVC-Force in reply to online247365Jul 25, 2010. 11:17 AM
I see. I love seeing craftsmanship.

Man i saw this ages ago back when he was on the first step. I found him somehow with his big daddy build and have followed him for a while. AWESOME

One word or line isn't really enough to describe this, it's something you have to see isn't it?

Dang, this is awesome. When I was watching the making of the helmet I was thinking "hmm, doesn't look too hard" Then I saw the electronics and I though "DANG"!!!!

The Rambler says: Jul 23, 2010. 6:39 AM
I wish I had just a smidge of the time, money, skill, and know-how to pull something like this off... though you would see me walking around in stormtrooper armor not a Daft Punk costume. Seriously amazing though.
