This was corrected with supports, which I made from chinese takeout chopsticks (!!!) as it was what I had available at the time. * Got frustrated with my visor being floppy all the time, due to there being two pieces missing from the Luchofunk's PDF file - the visor frame above and below where the lens sits. This was fixed with hot glue and cardstock "shims" between the broken pieces and the rest of the helmet. they snapped off, due to me cutting away a portion of the plastic that supported some of them. Unfortunately, no pics of this cutting process, but I did have pics earlier in the thread showing the electrical tape on the helmet. This gave me a straight line to mark up with the tape, and made sure my dremel would cut straight. I accomplished this by using 1" and 0.5" electrical tape, and finding a seam line on the batting helmet left from when Rawlings Sportswear molded it. * Trimmed up the helmet's backside, so it no longer curves around the head - the backside is a straight line, just like Thomas Bangalter's. HOWEVER - I have indeed restarted work on this project. So that was a bit of a buzzkill and a motivation killer.Īlso, the lack of advice from The Daft Club - which is the Daft Punk fan forum - hasn't been keeping me too enthralled with this project. I had planned on it, but my roomate decided in early September that he didn't want to do Daft Punk for Halloween anymore. Well, I don't know if I am going to make the Oct 31 deadline now. ZOMBIE THREAD!!! AAACK!!! Necroposting in your own thread = <3. I apologize for teh scruffiness, too - I haven't shaved in a while. Upon completing most of the helmet, I realized the default scaling options would make a helmet just way too small for my head. So, anyway, I began to construct a new Thomas helmet using that method. Make sure to read the entire thread, as I'm not sure the most up-to-date Pepakura files are in the first post there. One of the most notable communities for this is The 405th Mjolnir, a Halo costuming group, which is where I found my files at: Mostly used for papercraft - constructing statues of popular anime characters or objects - it is now being utilized by members of the costuming community to easily make masks and helmets. However, since then, Pepakura has really become a much more known artform. Well, I was never really happy with that, and as such scrapped it.
If you missed the first thread check it out: I know I have a thread in the Mando Variants forum, but really, this should be posted here.
