That'd leave you plenty to experiment with.

A couple of points, although my Intercept is from Virgin Mobile: 1) The MSL scrolled off of the screen in ConnectBot, but I could enter getprop ril.MSL and it would return the one line. 2) When the phone came back from the reset, GPS still wouldn't work. I was glad that I didn't brick the phone, but I was also sad because GPS was important to me. That, streaming music and text messages are the most important uses for my phone. However, I then tried cycling power, and that worked! So thank you very much for this post! Now I don't have to buy that new LG slider from VM for $200. :) BTW, VM has dropped the price of the Intercept to $99, this a couple of weeks after I bought mine for $150. :/ Gotta love Moore's Law.

I started my Thomas helmet with a baseball helmet because the two were already similar in shape and I knew it'd fit my head. When it comes to Guy's, there's more electronic light components packed into an already more form-fitting shape; so you probably are better off <em>not</em> starting with anything bulky like a pre-fabricated helmet. But don't just take my word for it, either -- do your research, find as many builds as you can, and see what looks most do-able for you. Not that I can think of.

Google and (even better) Youtube are great places to start looking. For example, Harrison Krix has built many film-quality props (including the Guy helmet, linked below) and has excellent photos and commentary of the process. I found him just now by searching Youtube. <a href="http://volpinprops.net/2009/08/daft-punk-helmet-part-1/" rel="nofollow">http://volpinprops.net/2009/08/daft-punk-helmet-part-1/</a> <a href="http://volpinprops.net/2009/10/daft-punk-helmet-part-2/" rel="nofollow">http://volpinprops.net/2009/10/daft-punk-helmet-part-2/</a> <a href="http://volpinprops.net/2010/07/daft-punk-helmet-part-3-final/" rel="nofollow">http://volpinprops.net/2010/07/daft-punk-helmet-part-3-final/</a> <a href="http://volpinprops.net/2009/11/daft-punk-replica-q-a/" rel="nofollow">http://volpinprops.net/2009/11/daft-punk-replica-q-a/</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0TBZeCgL0E" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0TBZeCgL0E</a> Hey, Guy — I never personally attempted building the other helmet, so I have little insight on its particulars.

You're right, I should have been more specific -- As I mention in the guide, it was my first time working with it, so at that time, I didn't really differentiate between the different types -- It was indeed an automotive body filler. Sounds to me like your 3M stuff should work fine. Hello, Samantha.

I was hoping you could tell me- which type of Bondo exactly did you use? Bondo is a brand and they have different products so I was a bit confused- is it just the Bondo Body Filler ? (has a picture of a car on it). I happen to have 3M "all-purpose filler", whatever that is, do you think that would work instead? Thanks for any help, I'm trying to make this within the next few weeks- the blog is awesome! Hi! I was hoping you could tell me- which type of Bondo exactly did you use?
