How to make a Daft Punk helmet in 17 months

For more info on the build and process, check out my website: http://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.

THIS PROJECT WAS A ONE-OFF. I AM NOT TAKING ORDERS FOR DUPLICATES.

Another Great job! You've inspired me to make my own, though I'm using Pepakura for the basic helmet in order to save time and money. I'm brushing up on my LED skills at the moment before I tackle this completely.

@Ps3Gameroom1 $60 dollars sounds a halloween shop quality helmet. No one is going to sell a helmet that is as good as Volpin's for $60.
