Really nice job man! You should try and get one vac-metalized. It would look perfect! 
I think the lights on the real helmet and the Volpin are of course awesome. But this helmet design is still great without them. Plus you can always add em later if you find a kit or someone to make it for you.
On a side note you should try your hand at making one of the new tron helmets. Like the Rinzler blacked out helmet. It's actually very close to the same basic shape of Guy's Daft Punk helmet.

I'm looking for someone in Italy for the metallization, at least for my own helmet.
I'm building led them, it will still take some time, while the helmet is already in the works Tron Rinzler

I used the first part of the visor cut from the cast, but with the warmth of the vacuum former is distorted, so I redid the master of fiberglass visor, much more effective.

I love your work so far! Any chance you'd be willing to sell me a casting? I'm dying to make the electronics of one of these helmets but my strength isn't in sculpting...!
How much would a raw casting from your mold cost?

You are my new best friend! :cool
Please Keep me in mind if you part with a Rinzler casting. :angel
It should be easier than Guy as far as sculpting. But figuring out how
it all goes together to be worn? That is something else! I'm guessing it is a 2 piece neckring where the back ring would be part of the entire back of the helmet. The front ring would be the chin, and the BIGGEST part of the helmet is the Visor. The visor basically IS the helmet.
Can't wait to see what you come up with! :love

Gah! That looks AMAZING! I've been begging to get one from Volpin himself but he's pretty busy
Nonetheless! Great job! Would love to own one some day! And seriously, if you're going for a Rinzler helmet, I'd TOTALLY be interested as well!
I've been planning on perfecting his ID disc before slowly heading to his full costume despite my noob background in costuming.

Thanks friend
In fact, virtually all of the helmet visor is Rinzler, and that makes him perhaps as complex as that of Guy Manuel, it still did not really banker ideas on how to achieve the visor, you will soon have updates.

I'm less busy and to Volpin less good if you are interested in the helmet Guy Manuel, is still available, until the rubber resists.
If you are interested please contact me in private.

ok i have one question...i'm in the process of already forming the skeleton for my helmet...i get how to do everything except for the silicon molding part.
So you coat it in silicon and more silicon, then resin it all over to make a shell and then after drying, you pull out the master mold and the copy at the same time?...i'm soooo confused as how to pull the mold out lol
Sorry i'm new to this lol

Once finished the master and polished well, it must be very smooth, you can start to pass the silicone, as soon as possible with the brush to cover the fine details, then when the first coat is dry, proceed with the second, then the third and so on until a thickness of 1.5 cm. The first hand that by using the brush I have to be very toxopic, so you need to add rubber hardener.
Finished to give all the hands of silicone, you can remove the rubber from the master, and proceed to the performance of resin copies.
