Looking back now, it would have probably made sense to just sand one and cast the other five, haha.

The cargo mount triangles were also modeled and printed, and we had to sand all of them smooth. One of Sam’s bag also had a weird front that was 3D-modeled and printed. We secretly love many pockets and bags on costumes – it’s a nice way to store your stuff in at conventions! Making bags is usually fun too! We drafted a rough square pattern and sewed it together while adding more details like zippers, patches and velcrotape. To give the suit a worn look, we weathered it using airbrush-colors and acrylic paint in some areas. After that, we made a foam version that was is much lighter.

At first, we 3D-modeled and printed that part, but it turned out too heavy in the end and only pulled down the hood weirdly. The hood has some kind of a self-lifting mechanism to it. (That part sucked a lot, but what can you do) We ended up ripping the foil off again and ironed a long stripe of foil onto some pleather, before hand-stitching it on. While it worked like a charm on the sleeves, we had major problems ironing it on the main part of the jumpsuit thanks to the seam going along both sides. The stripes are made out of heat transfer vinyl as well and seriously, that part was quite tricky to apply. With the plotter, we could even cut some of the synthetic leather and create really cool cutout effects! The files were simply made in Adobe Illustrator and sent straight to the plotter, before we ironed them on. To make the patches and labels all over the suit, we used our Silhouette Cameo plotter and heat transfer-vinyl. Sam’s suit is mostly just blue showerproof fabric and black synthetic leather.

So we started the sewing part using a Simplicity pattern for jumpsuits and only had to modify it slightly. (Pasta: Also, I just want to get it over with and simply forget sometimes, ugh.) We sometimes don’t take a lot photos of our sewing progress, because well, the beginning of a sewing project often doesn’t look super aesthetically pleasing. The umbilical cord/connection to Sam’s suit was a simple flexible tube that we covered with a fabric tunnel. Since we planned out our 3D-files after we had the electronic components, the on/off button switch and battery holder fit perfectly! Weathering was done by using oil paints and sealing them with transparent enamel spray paint. To light up the pod, we put a simple circuit with 12 yellow and 1 blue LEDs into the pod. The hell child was then sanded, making it look even creepier, before we painted it and put it into its see-through prison for the rest of its days.

The file of the actual BB isn’t self-made, we found a 3D-file of a human fetus on Thingiverse You wouldn’t download a baby, eh? and scaled it, before printing. The rest of the pod was printed, sanded for what felt like five years at least (kidding, but I think we spent sanding all parts of our Death Stranding costumes for at least one to two months straight) and put together with superglue. The result wasn’t entirely bubble-free, but then again, BB is supposed to be swimming in some kind of liquid and pee, probably, so we thought it would be alright. The master was covered in Smooth On Rebound 40, and later slush-casted in tinted Smooth Cast 325 as it would dry to be slightly transparent. Making a mold of the master would come in handy to make Higgs red-glowing pod later anyway. We decided to slush-cast the “glass” parts of the pod instead. Aby and her dad even built a vacuum forming machine for that! However, the form of the pod made us realize that vacuum-forming wouldn’t work. The glass part of the pod needed to be see-through, so we thought about vacuum-forming it over the 3D-printed master. Luckily, there were a lot of good reference images of the Collector’s edition BB-pod, so we could see all of the details.

So, the first thing we did was making the 3D-model in Fusion360. It combined a lot of different techniques like 3D-modeling & printing, lights and weirdly attached umbilical cords – what’s not to love on this one? Let’s start with the most interesting – and probably most disturbing part of the costume – the BB pod! We had a few ideas in mind on how we would tackle such a weird “cosplay prop” and we were looking forward to working on that one the most.
