Bioshock..Big Daddy, Little Sister and Splicer

So what do you do when you ask your 6yr old daughter what to be for Halloween, and her reply is.. for me to be Big Daddy, her the "Little Sister" and the mom a "splicer.

I guess you better get building

Step 1 Reference

This is only real picture I had to go off of for the suit. I did find a couple of websites of others that have built their suit, but not much for a DIY. I was pretty much flying by the seat of my pants

Great Job!! You are definately th coolest family on the block.

Makes me want to go back and make another one. I'm with Volpin on how to reduce the cost of the foam, I did the same thing and spent a fortune on expanding foam. I made a PVC Stand so that my Big Daddy Has a place of Honor in our Game room. After making something that Awesome you can't just hide him away in your attic. He will also make a great addition to your halloween display in the years to come. (^_^)

Maybe because I run a haunted house people think it strange that I don't "get" references to movie characters, especially scary movie characters but even ones like yours. That doesn't detract from the fact that I think your costume is ultra fantastic, as is your daughters.. it's almost a shame to spend so much time on something that will get so little use but the creation process is it's own joy, especially when your daughter can work along you.

They're actually video game characters. The game is called "Bioshock" and it's a console and pc game.

You may be able to cut down on the amount of foam used by blocking out more of the inside with cardboard baffles beforehand, like in my write up here. (4th pic down, around the leg and body sections) Filling in more than just the head and leg sections with cardboard means you'll spend less cash on the expensive spray foam.

Actually, if I were to do mine again, I would use some Smooth-On 2-part expanding foam. Overall, it would be cheaper and it will provide a much more consistent density than the canned stuff.

This is my favorite thing ever. If there isn't too much sentimental value attached to that suit once you're done with it you could probably make a killing on ebay before next Halloween.

Ive thought about it, but its one of those things that it was a one of make, I don't know if I could pull it off again. But then again, if the $$ is right……LOL

Honestly , I wouldn't even know where to start as for asking price.

I wouldn't have a probably selling that Little Sister Syringe, its easy to make again

I LOVE IT! If I were at a costume party and saw this, it would elevate my heart rate. You could probably get paid to go to events promoting Bioshock or XBOX. Good luck with the contest.
