Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter V2


Image

For those of you who do not know who Daft Punk are:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8943495939887017057

So I've been working on this project for a while now, and a few people have requested I post pictures of my progress, so here we go.

All I have a pic of for now is an Ear I started today with major props to John aka ufochaser for making a mini tutorial for me.

Its still a bit rough and it does get narrower towards the bottom, but most of the cylinder part of the ear will be trimmed off.

Pictures of the helmet and gloves will be up some time soon

*EDIT

Arafinwe,

     I watched some of the Draft Punk video. Not sure whats going on but it's interesting. I gotta tell ya, helmet looks excellent! I see you made the ear piece, looks excatly as it should, actually even better than I expected.

I really like the digital shield Draft Punk has. They've put a lot of work into it that's for sure. I expected a silver surfer type body. Please keep us updated when you can. Its gonna look awesome when metalisized! I believe you have the only replica of its kind around. Incredibly accurate piece, look forward to the final piece.

John

A few symmetry issues and technical difficulties later here is where I am at now.

Weather permitting I should be done for Halloween, fingers crossed

I am so impressed. You did a great job on Draft Punk. I looks proportionate, minus the shield, complete and ready for metalisizing.

I hope when your done you have a complete photo album from all angles. Nice!

Re: Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter V2


Its actually has been done for a while now, I just never got around to posting the results

Album

I ended up going with chrome spray paint, as you can see. Better on my wallet for now.

Its not a perfect replica, a few things are a bit off, but the only thing that really bugs me is the ears sticking out too far and the top of the head being a bit too big.
