Big Daddy costume from Kick Ass

[JUDGE_HELLFAST]

Here's my Big Daddy costume from Halloween 2010, with my daughter's semi-custom Hit Girl:

Thanks for the kudos, gang. Time is starting to free up so I'll be working a little at a time getting all the pieces up to par.

Jeffjab -You guys did a fantastic job! You look great! Way to go, mate!!!

This is a really interesting thread, I've got a Big Daddy costume myself, which was good enough for halloween parties but no where near screen quality (might sell it at some point as it was a bit of an impulse buy that's taking up a lot of space). It's great to be able to see what the actual screen acurate pieces of the costume are really made up from though.

You two look great!! Would you mind sharing what you used for the belt?

You two look great!! Would you mind sharing what you used for the belt?

The cowl, belt, cape and vest were made by someone else. I made the other armor pieces (thigh, shoulder, shins) out of pepakura and added the black tactical uniform under the armor. I made my daughter's pink belt and black tactical belt (with ideas from the hit girl costume thread).

The Big Daddy belt material is pleather or vinyl fabric (search "vinyl leather fabric yellow" on Ebay). The fabric is cut belt length and twice as wide/tall as you want it and fold back the top 1/4 and bottom 1/4 and glue with fabric or gel super glue. The belt velcros together in the back (sticky back velcro from craft store or Walmart, super glued for extra hold)

The utility cartridges are made of wood, but a lot of people make them out of 1/2" PVC pipe and pipe caps you can get from hardware store (I used PVC pipe for my daughter's Hit Girl belt).

The buckle is also made out of wood, with carved letters glued to the buckle.

You can get a black pistol holster (and pistol) from any airsoft or paintball supplier like Hobbytron or Ebay.

Have they started producing the BD mask?

I posted this over in the Hit Girl thread, but here's my slap jobbed Big Daddy. :lol I had two hours to work with everything so this is the result of two hours of sloppy work. It will get me by for Halloween with my daughter.

After Halloween I will again start from scratch and rebuild the entire costume.

[/QUOTE Hi, Can you tell me where you got the mask and the body armor vest? My husband is looking for it and we cant find it anywhere, or maybe its a mold that he can buy to make himself? Please let me know, I would really appreciate it.

Someone here was making a BD mask. Do a search.

I see terryr's post was in vain.

Jeffjab, good to see what you did to improve on my original costume. For those asking about the helmet, Xtreme Design FX made that one for me in time for last year's Comic-Con.

Hey Parks, thanks for the comment. I added a few armor pieces on thigh, boots, shoulder, but you did all the work. Speaking of Comic Con, I found this pic of you in your Big Daddy costume:

This is sweet.

Wardrobe malfunction...those cylinders kept popping off my belt. Lesson learned, should have put screws into the back of them. Epoxy just wasn't good enough.

Working on a Big Daddy costume myself currently. Looking into making the belt now. What width (2", 3" etc) have you been using?

 

[athelu]

Found a link to a custom big daddy belt that is being produced:
Big Daddy Belt....Kick Ass in Hall of Costumes Forum


I am still trying to figure out some of the other pieces of the costume. Does anybody know the the pouches used on his left side?

It looks like it has a baton holder included as well.

Here is what I put together for this Halloween:

Beautiful, now that looks menacing

 

[terryr]

Nice.

I read that the font on his belt buckle is Batman Forever. Ha!

 

[athelu]

Yeah - Unfortunatley the timing with the belt guy did not work out - so I had to make my own belt. I cobled stuff together off of ebay (Yellow 2" womens xl Belt, Custom Vinyl decal letters, 2" tandy leather belt buckle) and some Cpvc pipe and caps. Like some of the other guys have said, I think you really do need to screw the utility belt capsules in place. Mine have belt clips on them so I could position them after the belt was on, but they just end up wandering all over the place.

Great costume, just don't forget to darken around the eyes.
