Big Daddy costume from Kick Ass

[joee]

Sorry if im bumping this thread but anyone have a clue on what the caps are for the belt? and what the specs are. working on this for this year.

I just used some 1/2" cpvc pipe and end caps - grinding them flat. I tried to use clips to allow me to position them on the belt - but this did not end up working to well ( as you can see in the pic).

This is awsome, I would not have known where to begin on this project! Thanks for all the info to everybody that contributed to the thread, Can't wait to attend comicon as BD, HG 2.0 and the Night B*tch! My whole family is very excited about it!

Some more miscellaneous info - as I guess I was one of the last guys to do this one. Here is a list of some of the clothing I used:

Polyester Mask (ninja/terrorist style) - cover neck/jowl/head
Easton Hockey Goalie Neck protector (cowl and place to attach shoulder armor). This actually covers up how I have the cape tied to the Molle vest as well.
Black Compression shirt - to black out torso
Motorcross back/torso/arm armor - I wore it but took off the back armor
Riot Police type III leg armor - this is the thigh, knee and shin guards

any idea on where to get the leg armor?

I'm trying to find his side pouches that he wears on both sides of his hip. Does anyone know a source for those (or what these type of pouches are called)?

They are probably a molle ammo/ditty pouch. they are pretty easy to get at an army surplus.

I still have some work to do on it, but here's my attempt at Big Daddy for the Kick Ass 2 premier. A group of us costume up for movie premiers all the time, so several made up characters for this one.
After the first night, I added an additional rivet to the belt canisters so they wouldn't twist. I plan to make the shoulder armor better (more curved/molded) and do more with the lower half (instead of wearing just motocross leather pants).

Xtremedesignfx.com appears to be down, is there another good source for the BD cowl? Thanks!

Has anyone been able to source Big Daddy's knife? It looks kind of like a trench knife. This is the best image I could find online.

 

[Bigdaddy]

After posting yesterday I think I found his knife, or at least a good knock-off and at $43 the price was right! thumbsup
The blade, D-gaurd and sheath all look right on to me. Just in case somebody else is looking for it...

I wanted to say thanks again for all the info everyone posted in this thread (as well as others), it was invaluable.:cool
Behold, the rise of Big Daddy (& friends )
