Harrison Krix, a 27 year old graphic designer and kick ass prop maker living in Atlanta, built a giant replica of Big Daddy and waited two months before PR reps at the Georgia Aquarium allowed him and his girlfriend (dressed as Little Sister) to conduct a photoshoot at the facility. Was the wait worth it? You decide.

But first, have a look at some more of the in progress shots taken by Krix for a glimpse into how much work went into building this drill wielding metal monster.

… and now, the finished product along side the infamous Little Sister. Images shot by photographer Matt Nicholson of Dim Horizon Studio at the Atlanta Aquarium.

If you liked the image above, check out the entire shoot in our gallery, and if you really really really liked the costume, head on over to Harrision’s Ebay auction for a chance to buy his seven week labor of love. The auction closes on December 3rd and the current Big Daddy bid at the time of this post is $500. Who knows, you may get lucky.

    I get the feeling it might not meet its reserve, yeh sure everyone loves his amazing costume- and it is AMAZING- but who has the money/space to keep it?
  • Rich people who have nothing but money and time? Did I mention money?
