Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

I also got a chance to wear the costumes again for a local anime con called ACEN. Pictures to follow. But first, I made a How To Guide on Tumblr for making the gloves. I know I covered it really well here, but here is a stand alone guide for those interested: http://tk9336.tumblr.com/post/8681798465...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

The dust has finally settled on C2E2 for me. As I am going to another convention called Acen this week I thought I would post some pictures and write ups. First up, RAM gloves. From concept to finish was all me. I also have the honor of the being the first to replicate these and for once...they came...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

Sorry for a lack of updates, as C2E2 is now days away I am just hitting the panic button in a scramble to get the jacket finished. I finished the gloves a few days ago. Finally, something I created from start to finish. I cannot thank Shawn Mika enough for his expertise on vacuum forming and how to ...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

I'll let the cat out of the bag, I am currently numbing my mind this with this piece of work. While I can see the final jacket being nothing short of stunning...I will need a electric shock to keep me alive from the amazing amount of boredom required to complete this. What you're looking at is the r...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

Some more progress as C2E2 looms closer and closer. I'm totally indebted to Anthony and Jen for their talent and expertise helping me get the RAM gloves finished. Really excited about how these turned out! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7166/13565749053_82553f1c07.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

More progress. Anthony and Jen decided to redo my RAM gloves, from the screen the physical gloves.

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

The shoes held up just fine, I will probably tailor the pants so they are a little tighter fitting at the ankle. I tried doing lifecasts of my hand and didn't so hot. I am ordering new alginate and instead of plaster, I will use Smooth Cast 300Q. So once that arrives I will share photos. Too ashamed...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

I was the first one to make the RAM boots back last August, and I finally nailed it tonight. This was the third, and successful try. Glitter does matter. I will do a walk about tomorrow and still how these hold up. Used different glitter and glue this time, made a world of a difference. http://farm4...

Proud to announce I am entering the C2E2 (biggest convention in the Midwest US, located in Chicago) with my Daft Punk Random Access Memories Redux! Before I delve into that, here's a piece from the 2nd Annual SPS shoot here in IL: HAA Volpin V1 Thomas http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7410/12919071423_5...

Life casting my hands to make my RAM gloves in the coming days! I also scanned my vellum divider from the box set (the circuit pattern from the gloves) and had it re-colored (by Justice Fisher.) I am going to screen print it with metallic silver ink on black fabric. Pretty excited that things are be...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

I am apparently a glutton for punishment. Such is the pains we go through to make a perfect replica, no? Either way, I will hate myself once this really gets going. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5481/12359881443_a2a68c245c_z.jpg It begins. The great battle of our time. by TK9336 , on Flickr http://f...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

Turns out it will take 80 yards of the strung sequins to make ONE jacket, along with 6 tubes of E6000. My sanity is becoming increasingly disproportional the more accurate I make these suits.

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

New RAM suit update: I am doing the jackets myself...that's right! The old adage "if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself," is true. Thanks to help of fellow 501st'er Trent Thorton (who does a kickass, flawless Bane, Darth Vader and handmade Emperor Ming from Flash Gordon to name a few...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

Back with some news: I almost got a cease and desist from YSL-Paris because of the RAM Daft Punk glitter boots I made. Basically, I lost Facebook for a week (where the complaint originated from YSL thinking I was going to sell them.) So if you want a pair...make your own! That said, I am 99% sure th...
