Re: Bioshock big daddy costume

Thanks guys for the feedback

The master mold for the portholes was ready for molding. I used rebound 25 and encased in a poster board box sealed with hot glue and clay

I used smooth cast 65d for castings just some plastic i had laying around

And it came out pretty good

The only problem is i ran out of smooth cast and have no time to get more so i only got 5 casting out of smooth cast 65d but i heard you can use fiber glass resin so i gave that a test

And it works! But i ran out of hardener which i have to get some tomorrow

Now its time to start on the arm extension. I didnt want that stubby arm and i didnt really have a clue on how to make one other than volpins so im kinda winging it. For the arm and elbow i used 4inch pvc pipe and some Chicago screws

Adding a handle to bend the arm

Now for the hand like volpin i used mdf for the palm and pvc pipe for the fingers

Did a arm test with the torso

I think it looks badass
More to come

Re: Bioshock big daddy costume

Now that all of the castings are well casted i finally got to work on the dome. Cutting and glueing the portholes on the dome

Then i worked on the boots. Adding foam details and cardboard

Then i started on the cage using 1" conducted pvc pipe heating with a torch

Re: Bioshock big daddy costume

I got some 3" couplers and i drilled in some 1" couplers for the front cage then glued to the form

Then heated some more pipe to make the cage around the dome

Re: Bioshock big daddy costume

Just a small update ive been mostly working on the strapping system for three days and trying to make it fit my client as he is bigger than me.
So not much pictures of this progress but i fiber glass cloth the inside to strengthen it and made a frame out of pvc pipe and got an old back straps from an old leave blower then fiber glassed in to place

Then i added some more detail to the dome using 2 inch couplers i was going to put fans there but i think im gonna use them so you can see through them to walk

And then i glues some casted bolts to the main form and everything eles

Then time for a test fit this was before i glued in the bolts

Its a little heavy but bearable ill be painting and putting in some of the final touches on tomorrow only cuz my town is having a comic con and since i was featured in my towns facebook page i thought i surprise them again with this suit

This is me and my warmachine costume i did a while back

Re: Bioshock big daddy costume

Finally got to painting the suit. The main body the drill base and the rings were all painted gold hammered paint to get that rust and bronze look and the drill blade was painted silver

Then i started weathering the pieces using black acrylic paint
First pass

Second pass

The main body still needs a second pass but i should have the whole suit done in a day or so

Re: Bioshock big daddy costume

Late night update i glued the rest if the casted bolts to the rings and painted and wearthered them

Then i got to work on the leds in the dome
I was going to have 2 switches to turn from yellow to red but just ran out of time so i just stuck with red

And now the for the fake blood for the drill
Now just is my favorite paint job I've done yet and i haven't even done the torso piece yet

Much more to come tomorrow hopefully ill have it complete tomorrow and then have final professional pictures tuesday should be fun.

Re: Bioshock big daddy costume

I got making the last piece of the costume the air tank which is made out of concrete tube with foam detail and foam board on the top then painted and weathered

I made a little attachment so that ghe take can be removed easily for storing made out of pvc

Then painted and weathered

Then i made the glove that will go over the hand and stuffed it with stuffing to fill it in more

I covered the front of the boots with papermache to make it look better then paited it silver

Then i covered them in some black shiny fabric and added some shoe string

Then added a belt and the buckle and then weathered in a bit and the boots are finished

For the lights i enclosed the leds in 4 inch pvc pipe and i glued sone reflective tape inside to made it shine bright and i diffused the lenes and the leds its self

For the sleeves and paint i just used some fabric and sowed some tubes i dont have any pics of these sorry about that

And finaly the last finishing touch added some more fake blood

Hers some pics of the torso with the tank

Finals pictures with the full suit will be here soon stay tuned

Re: Bioshock big daddy costume

Duuude, that's turning out wicked sick, awesome job :thumbsup

 

[joshslayton]

I present you big daddy! i took the best pictures i could but for now i think there pretty good

 

[Canobi]

Ohhhh yeehhh, who's the daddy

Man that turned out great, you got skills brah, thats for sure :thumbsup

Oh, and a quick FYI. I found a wicked bioshock soundboard in the android play store for free. There's loads of high quality recordings of big daddy moans and groans for his different moods, and a bunch of other stuff. Could maybe get a portable speaker or some such to put in there for some authentic sounds

Thanks man. Means alot
And i wish i could add sounds to it but im already shipping out the costume to the client. Hard to let go

 

[Canobi]

Ah well, could maybe pass it on to him, he might appreciate the tip. And yeh, letting your "one off" creations go can definitely be hard sometimes.
