Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
The ideal person to wear my other $2k helmet will have to be 6'ft, or 6'1" and lanky. I am already incredibly close to the height and size, of Guy (gold helmet), and for the impression to hit home like it did at D*C, height is essential. I plan on re-doing the glitter shoes with a different spray ad...

That's definitely been on my afterburner Jim! I just need to find a MWG member to be my other Thomas.

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
Thank you Jim! Your support throughout the whole ordeal was most encouraging! Volpin sent this to me today. I have to say it's totally in character and to quote "very Daft Punk style." http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5442/9713208524_4aa3c7d74f_c.jpg Daft Punk - Dragon*Con 2013 by TK9336 , on Flickr ht...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
My mentor and good friend Thomas Spanos caught up with me Sunday night of Dragon*Con and took some great photos of Volpin and myself. You can totally tell where I need to fix my leather jacket, but this was the first time (I'm not totally sure) both Thomas and Guy lids were both in leathers. http://...

Ok, I am finally back from Dragon*Con. I know you missed me! Right?! Anyways, before I make a long winded beginning to end post to that nicely wraps on this ENTIRE thread...here are some glamor shots. I helmet mashed eras with my sequin tuxedoes, but don't fret...a RAM helmet will be here eventually...

THE GLITTER GODS THAT BE ANSWERED MY CALL! I've been busy day and night finishing everything for Dragon*Con, and won't be posting that often...most of it will come after Dragon*Con. I will share my YSL boot conversion though! NOTE: On glitter. I used glass glitter, which from my research is higher e...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
The SKB drum case was far, far much larger than I anticipated. Back in the mail with yer! Just gonna walk into some music store with the helmet on and find one in shop that fits. The lid also returned...which means I can finally put the proverbial nails in this project. C'n'C re-tinted it to match m...

Re: Hoping to gain approval
I love my armor. It was first generation ATA. His ABS is awesome, and holds up well. Quite a few of us from the 5'7"-5'9" TK's here. I am 5'8" in costume. You learn to roll with the punches. Honestly, screen armor looks better on us anyways...more proportional and all that jazz. Plus there are about...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
I never resolved the fact I needed a case to transport my Daft Punk helmets. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/drums-percussion/skb-roto-x-molded-drum-case I ended up going with SKB's 16x14 Tom case. It has received tons of great reviews from touring musicians who remark the toughness, and protection i...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
I can say as a completely straight man, that I spent two hours today looking at glitter for a pair of ankle boots for my RAM Daft Punk suit. Now, I know quite a bit about "glittering" shoes properly. Finding the right color wasn't simple either to be frank (darn you Yves-Saint Laurent), but I found ...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
Change of RAM boots: I was helping my friend find RAM boots for our debut at Dragon Con this year. He wears US 12, so the Korean dress shoes I have don't come anywhere near that size, so I found these instead. I am getting them! They are so much better, and accurate to what Daft wears. Can't wait to...

Dude, you have no idea how much that compliment means, especially coming from a veteran prop man like yourself! I am merely in the shadow of giants! Upon further review, I like Mooda Chelseas, but low rise cowboy boots (smooth grain, with zipper and no details like etchings in the leather) are a clo...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
Another advancement made into the soft parts of the RAM costume: Of the two fabrics I tracked down, I finally recieved the sample of the first fabric I thought was right on the money. Glad I asked for a sample. 3mm is TINY, imagine a tuxedo of that? Far too small. Seeing it in person it totally, and...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!
C'n'C will re-tint it for me. Still waiting to hear if that includes throwing a ton of paint on it. The digi panels would be in danger of getting filled in! :( So we'll see what he says. Also, my fabric arrived today from California: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7451/9353658315_49e9ff453e.jpg RAM F...
