Big Daddy from Bioshock

Step 11: The pant and Sleeves and the Finished Big Daddy

I used an army green fabric to make the pants and sleeves. I sewed two identical tubes to make the arms and attached velcro to the outside edge of the top and the inner edge bottom of each sleeve and then attached the other side of the velcro to the inner part of the arm hole, and the outer edge of the drill and foam hand .

To sew the pants I made the legs I sewed two tubes as large as I could and then sewed a wide strip in between them to make a makeshift overall pant that has tie straps to hold them up.

I added velcro to the bottom outer edge of the pants to attach the pants to the shoes so that it kept a uniform look.  


Here is a 99% finished Big Daddy. I still needed to touch up the cage to cover the tape, but that was completed .
The Finished Product weights about 20 Lbs. 

after everything is hardened I cut out as much foam and board as I could to make it as light as possible. Mine actually has a little foam in the arm are and on the top so that the stand will not break through. 

I worked on this at least 16 hours a day for 3 weeks.  I put in over 300 hours of work into it.

That would be a great cosplay. Take her to a convention before you try talking her into cosplaying. Let her see people get excited about your cosplay and she will probably agree. Good luck
