Big Daddy - Bioshock

[timclark27]

After 2 years of work I finally finished my Big Daddy suit and presented it at the Armageddon Expo in Melbourne. A lot of nerves before hand but all went well.

Thank you. I think I have a few photos somewhere, nothing elaborate. I'll see what I can find.

That's cool! How do you see?

There is a car reversing camera built in. There is a screen in the dome that allows you to see.

We just had it up and running for the parade at the end. It was too hot to wear it outside which was a bit of a bummer. Even inside it got hot quickly.

Ah yes I remember how hot it was (almost passed out wearing Master Chief for 5 hours and that isn't even my record!).

I'll say it again, excellent work!

How do you get that thing to events? Great job by the way.

We load it up in a trailer and then hope we get a park close to where we need to be. It has a backpack attached to the main body so without the arms and legs you can carry it easily.

Wow! fantastic work.

That is so amazing! I love Bioshock so much and if I saw that in real life, I'd probably faint from both how amazing and how terrifying it is!
