Here is a Tron inspired DP helmet I made for Glastonbury 2011, was fun to make though took a good couple of months. I'd say around 70 hours and cost about £70.

I started out knowing nothing, but ended up making everything from my own vacuum former to learning to solder.<p>I've been asked a few times when I'm out wearing it, to make one, but I'd be looking for around £1000 due to the man hours and the extra effort to make someone else's more perfect. I had thought about learning to slush cast to make a few for friends to wear this year, but I really don't have the time I'd need to make the as awesome as I'd like. Also there are the obvious copyright issues!
I have to say that I never expected to see the iconic black and white portrait of a Daft Punk helmet in the Wall Street Journal. That just happened.<p>Interesting to see them branch out into this subject matter. The related article on how they've managed to market their album is more their speed.
