Awesome Dad Makes Awesome Father/Son MechWarrior Costume

There’s still two months to go but I’d say the 2014 Father of the Year award has been wrapped up. Ryan Bowen built this incredible father/son MechWarrior costume using just PVC piping, cardboard, and zip ties.

The ‘MechDaddy’ costume is inspired by a computer game Ryan played during high school, in which you fight other people in mechanized war suits. Naturally, when Ryan learned he and his wife were having a baby building this was the thing that first came to mind.

Cardboard, taken from the multitude of leftovers they had from baby stuff packaging, wraps a PVC shell which rests on Ryan’s shoulders. Zip ties and velcro tape hold everything together, with the Mech legs being held up by a belt. The gun hands are actually Ryan’s natural hands, oddly enough, so I guess that worked out for him.
