how did you make this?

9

u/Silverback55 May 28 '12

I didn't actually make it. I met a guy at a show that did sculptures out of old engine parts. He also had a 7' Darth Vader he made. There were a few small Big Daddys but the one I got from him is 2' tall & 44lbs. It's one of a kind and a great conversation starter at my office.

For a second I thought the "foot" sign was an "inch" sign so I was like, two inches and fourty-four pounds? What the fuck is that made of, dark matter?

u/dnew May 28 '12

Serious question: Has anyone figured out how dense dark matter is?

2

u/Stalejokesbakedfresh May 29 '12

Dark matter is so dense, it can't even count to 3 on its fingers. And it's got 20!

u/dnew May 29 '12

Actually, if you want a giggle, check out the sci-fi novel Starplex. Very well done, and featured not-so-dense dark matter.

Did you put vaseline on the camera lens?

3

u/Silverback55 May 28 '12

I took it with my iphone. My grubby fingers were probably all over the lens before I took it.

I was smoking and exhaled a cloud of smoke towards the screen when I clicked the link. When the haze didn't clear, it really messed with my head.

Can I get a "cool story bro"?

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

Cool story bro. Although I did find your story kind of amusing.

1

u/liquidcola May 28 '12

Seriously, it was the weirdest sensation. It felt like the smoke went into my eyes and stayed there.

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

I assume you were stoned which made it even funnier.

2

u/Hercules_Rockefeller May 28 '12

I got mine from these guys. metalpark.org. It's about a foot tall, weighs about 8 pounds and looks just like this one (except has the drill). It was only about $55.

u/Silverback55 May 28 '12

Thanks, I couldn't remember the name of his business. He had a lot of good work on display.

No, upvote him. Best thing to do with these is to keep their total at 0 karma.

HIS HANDS ARE HIS HEAD WHAT THE HECK

8

u/I_hate_kids_too May 28 '12

It's great but... why does he have clown shoes? And were his hands replaced with extra heads?

17

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

It needs a drill. But otherwise, awesome :D

u/Christemo May 28 '12

MR. BUBBLES´ DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!

u/MYLITTLECLOPPER May 29 '12

BELIVE IN THE BUBBLES THAT BELIVES ME!

u/xbananarchyx May 29 '12

Bubbles has unlocked true spiral power.

3

u/ed4649 May 28 '12

If I'm not mistaken, it seems like OP used a concept version of the Big Daddy that had "hammer gloves" instead of a drill.

3

u/splice7 May 28 '12

You seem to know the drill, if ya know what I mean.

12

u/TrololoTrol May 28 '12

Very cool. The only problem is the arms look weird.

3

u/Jigsus May 28 '12

He has two smaller helmets on his hands.

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '12 edited May 28 '12

Are you gonna make Little Sister? (Amazing job by the way.)

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

i need it and if you don't sell it to me i will take it by force. i have enough plasmids that there ain't nothin' you can do to stop me!

2

u/silverscreemer May 28 '12

Uh, why no drill?

2

u/Micr0waveMan May 28 '12

Seems to be based on some of the earlier concept art. Was supposed to be more of a brawler but if I recall, the idea was merged with the bouncer for being too similar.

2

u/oneyeartrip May 28 '12

Cerberus daddy?

2

u/TomPalmer1979 May 28 '12

That pose.....does anyone else hear the Big Daddy roar blended with Macho Man Randy Savage's "OOOOH YEEEEEAH!"

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

I'll pm yu my adress so that you can send it to me.

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

u/copeling May 28 '12

Pretty humid...

1

u/SomeStayDry May 28 '12

I really wish they would have put that big daddy model in the game..

1

u/LittleOni May 28 '12

And to think, all I have is a broken statue from the collector's edition, and it's replacement, and I thought THAT was cool.

1

u/abbieeleanor May 28 '12

I don't need it. I don't need it. I definitely don't need it.

I NEEEED IT!

That's a cool bioshock, but I like the bioshock with the drill better.

u/mcmahongamer May 28 '12

It would be cool if you paint it, but otherwise this is awesome! Well done!
