Sixth scale Bioshock Big Daddy project

[Abb_eliten]

Hi all!

This is a project I've been working on for a little (read big) while.
It actually started by me searching the web for a Neca Big Daddy. Unfortunately I was late to the party and the prices were to me ridiculous.
So what to do? Spend a multiple sum of that on a custom figure, in sixth scale of course to match the rest of my collection.

All exterior parts are cold cast iron and bronze. The rest is hand sewn stuff.
Internal parts is milled polyurethane and SLS printed parts.

I started out modeling the whole thing from reference photos and in-game low polys before printing and milling the parts.
After getting the desired finish I made silicone molds for the casting process.














Some weathering and leatherwork left to do.



I can add a few more WIP pics if anyone is interested.

You engineered all the articulating parts as well??

Definitely add more pics. It's looking great, it should look amazing when you've got it all wrapped up.

Thanks! Yes, I made them as well. They are pretty basic in terms of articulation, but the Bouncer is pretty limited in that regard anyway.
The knees are double jointed, and it is possible to do the kneeling pose (WIP photos)

Added some wear and tear on the drill assembly.
Using a rusting agent on the metal surface works really nice, will add a thin clear coat on top to seal.
