Mad Bodgin’ Mage Log: Big Daddy & Little Sister

Always loved the design of the Big Daddies (the Bouncer type specifically) from the Bioshock series (book is pretty good, btw).



So back in 2012 finally got my hands on a Mariner and set to work.



Had wanted to do a conversion usin’ this guy since ah saw him.

I think someone has done a Big Daddy inspired conversion before using a Nomad warjack, was a nice piece of work.

Here’s some of the early work:



Drill is cut from the tip of a bolt and has a washer and nut behind it to make up the forearm (all provided from Pa’s workshop)

Wireframe (paperclip) around face not glued yet, pure tension holding it there in the photo. Got the little sister (from the Nightmare warjack kit) up on his shoulder.



Best part about that drill is that ah didn’t need to paint it

Speakin’ of, the paint job:



And there’s Mr. Bubbles!

Never actually fielded this guy yet, and the only Merc caster ah had lost her head to become a Khadoran caster instead.

Think ah need to build a Dirty Meg at some point so he’ll see the tabletop.

Kinda wonder what Rapture would be like in the IK setting.
