You're making a Daft Punk helmet!?
They are a bitch, half 'cos of the metal shininess, half 'cos of the electronics, totally beyond me so utter respect of you're even attempting it!

I don't think I'll bother with the electronics; if anything I'll stick one of those LED belt buckles in the front.
The chrome effect is something I've been worrying about. I was thinking of getting it vacuum formed if spray paint won't work.
And thanks :) I'll post results once it's done.

I was planning on buying a bike helmet and building around that. I acquired a 'net' of Thomas' helmet which I can take pieces from and transfer them to linoleum or mat board :)

It's amazing, the number of links I see here and bookmark. If I remember correctly, that guy spent around the $8000 mark. The fact that he had bespoke PCBs made for the lighting should give a fair indication of how super serious he was about the whole project. Personally I prefer my models cheap and cheerful, not white and elephantine.

^This.
I don't plan to spend much at all with this project... even if I could I wouldn't. I mean, I calculate the whole thing would probably be around the £40-50 mark, depending on what helmet I get, what material, spray paint (saw a decent can for a fiver yesterday), etc.
