So, this Halloween was probably the best ever in terms of the effort and ingenuity that went into my costume.
For those of you who don't know, I was Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk. I built a helmet completely from scratch, complete with one-way visor, scrolling LED marquee, and speakers in the pockets that played Daft Punk songs all day. It turned out so good that I'm kinda sad I only got to wear it for two days (I went to another Halloween party on Saturday).
Hopefully I'll be able to find a Daft Punk concert to go to. It would be kick ass to go in that costume.
Anyway here's a picture. Check my deviantArt page soon, as I will be uploading a flash slideshow that has more pictures and quite a few "making of" pictures.
And just because I can, I'm also open to the possibility of making a helmet for people who want one. It'll put you back $1000, but it turns out really cool, and it comes with a pair of the gloves as well.

Um, I'm flattered by your excitement over the costume. If you're interested in comissioning me to make one for you, please feel free to send me a PM. If I start work now, I'm pretty sure I can finish by the time your birthday rolls around. It takes many man hours of hand sculpting and sanding, but it's worth every penny 'cause of how cool it turns out.
But I'm afraid I can't just loan out my costume. I need to keep it in my costume archive, and I also have a habit of wearing this around every now and again.
