Man creates Big Daddy figurine, gives it a sword and shield photo

Artist Robert Sakaluk knows how to make our hearts go aflutter. Pictured above is a rambunctious Big Daddy of BioShock fame. If you look closely, you may notice that the Big Daddy has a sword and a shield. The reason for that is simple: Sakaluk is creating a set of pirate-themed figurines by converting models. As for why he chose to create a Big Daddy (and accompanying Little Sister) we’re not exactly sure. Doesn’t change how cool the dreaded beast of Rapture looks, though.

Sakaluk made the figurine from a Nomad Heavy Warjack base. If you take a gander, you may come back with a deeper appreciation of what Sakaluk did here.

Sakaluk finished this model back in October 2007, which we believe by Internet time standards, was several eons before the Big Bang. How the gifted artist managed to create this figurine before Earth existed is beyond us.

Warmachine, it's the new Warhammer. The figurine looks okay, but change the color scheme from blue to dark brown.

It looks EXACTLY like a Chaos 40K figurine!

There's something DragonQuesty about this figure. Is there a DQ figure he used as the base?

It puzzles me that he didn't use this for a base rather than the Nomad, seeing as it actually, you know, has a drill and all. But seeing as I couldn't accomplish that quality of a paintjob on a mini, let alone a full on facial transplant, I'm nitpicking.
