# How-to make a Daft Punk helmet in 4 months
We love how-to guides. They're probably what the internet is all about
(think forums, FAQs, and websites like the brilliant
[www.instructables.com][1]{: target="_blank"}) and it's always great to
see people offering their knowledge to the public. **Harrison Krix** is
such a person. In March 2009 the prop designer decided to build an exact
copy of **Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo**s golden **Daft Punk** helmet --
and he [succeeded][2]{: target="_blank"}.
Last year he published a 3 minute-long video of his crafting efforts,
from the early concept stages to the final result in around 17 months --
and boy did that helmet look pretty! Now the American graphic designer
is back with a second video, but this time with a copy of **Thomas
Bangaltar**'s silver helmet, which he spent [4 months of work][3]{:
target="_blank"} on (check out [his flickR][4]{: target="_blank"} for
more images).
Sadly, these two are unique pieces and he won't be accepting job offers
for further copies. I'd give close to anything in the world to own one
of these -- together with an exact copy of **Hedi Slimane**'s leather
jumpsuits, of course!
While we're at it: see below for Daft Punk's **Soma**-released 'Drive'
that we [mentioned the other day][5].
