Hi all, At the end of April for my 30th birthday I got a Daft Punk Helmet kit from my wife. it's made by firewire, who you should find on ebay, he lives in Scotland. I wanted a new project which would combine plastics and use some of my electronic skills. Anyone who knows me should know my profession is a electronics engineer. This will take some time, due to carrying out big diy projects outside my house mainly due to the summer. At the moment I have been doing alot of research and also joined thedaftclub.com Also got some hand plates, and some parts to stand the helmet on a base and a holder for the LED's.

Awesome, I love Daft Punk mate, was going to do this myself once, I have seen on bay some very nice helmets, and some very expensive helmets, Both of which i adore. My problem was doing the LED set up, there's so many ways the matrix flows across the shield. And the gold helmet is more complicated then the silver one. and more expensive to put together. What soft parts are you looking t go for as there are the leathers or sequin look, very glitzy. I had some links saved from ebay if you wanna see? Are you getting the helmet a metallized paint job? GOOD LUCK! with the build! lots of pics plz!

Daft Punk also made the soundtrack and starred in the sequal to the 80s film TRON called TRON LEGACY.

I recognise it now, nice shiny helmets. So we could do with a few on a troop playing instruments - I see it all now. Come on Colin, I want to see a suit with LOTS of spangle and sparkle.

I done a bit of work on my helmet yesterday. I also made a hole in the vents (not shown). I hope to take out more the plastic visor area today.
