Bioshock2 Big Sister build

[harleychainsaw]

Okay so I'm making a Big Sister cosplay for the upcoming MCM convention in London in May and thought it would be fun to share my progress.

I first started off with the neck piece, I used an old mannequin and sculpted the neck piece shape and size. From here I was then able to cover the sculpture in plaster to get a mould of the neck piece which I then coated in resin and fibre glass to make the final neck piece.

Once I had the neck piece I then sanded down all the edges to ensure there were no sharp edges and to neaten them. Next I added the first coat of primer i then sanded the neck piece again before applying a second layer of primer.
Next all of the trims/details were added, such as the bolts. The front two bolts were made out of wood and the smaller bolts around the ring of the piece were made using resin. It was then primed a final time ready to be painted!


I will be updating this as I make further progress ^^ hope you enjoy. I've not gone massively into detail just a rough outline of what I've done.

Nice work.

Make sure you have enough air flow or it's going to fog up and get stuffy fast.

Haven't updated this in a while. Main bulk/frame of the costume has been completed primed and painted now. (cage still needs to be finished then primed)

This is looking totally sick! are you doing it all free hand?

Thankyou I've been using some machinery to save time on sanding, cutting materials etc and the only things that I haven't moulded and casted are the helmet and tank. Used a plastic globe for the helmet and plastic tubing for the tank
