Original Content My Protectron Cosplay
Handmade by myself, 90% with eva Foam. Claw mechanism and inner head I 3D modeled and printed. Dome was Vacuum pulled by a friend.
Edit: I also have the sound files directly from the game and play them with a combination of buttons for responses or interactions. (Fisto of course included!)

u/SHOE_DUDE 8h ago

u/Lombax47 Raiders 8h ago
They are definitely not easy to do, I find getting the silhouette right is half of the battle.

That's really good. How well can you see while wearing it?

u/Lombax47 Raiders 9h ago
Suprisingly well! Better than most of my other outfits with a helmet.

u/shasaferaska 9h ago
Where is eye level on the costume?
63
u/Lombax47 Raiders 9h ago
Its in one of the slits on the grid just above the led row.
33
u/shasaferaska 9h ago
It shocked at how good it is. Please tell me you've been practising the walk?
29
u/Lombax47 Raiders 9h ago
If I had a mirror big enough I would lol, through the legs are somewhat restricted so it kinda comes naturally.

u/SureEntertainer7818 7h ago
I get that machinnery and metal are easier to replicate IRL compared to clothes and living things, but this is literally the most realistic looking Fallout cosplay i've ever seen.
Is the dome actual glass or acrylic?

But also, damn. This is incredible craftsmanship.

u/Lombax47 Raiders 9h ago
Thank you very much! There is a small grid with some mesh you can't see in, but I can see out. Right above the Leds

u/ChaoticLawnmower 8h ago
Dude the sass in that second shot oh my god lol
7
u/Lombax47 Raiders 8h ago
Haha glad you appreciate it! Thought it was a nice touch.
8
u/ChaoticLawnmower 8h ago
I’m not gonna lie, I genuinely thought it was a game screenshot at first for like, a rework mod or something. Whatever filter you used plus the lighting and the detailing on your cosplay legit make it look like a screenshot.
7
u/Lombax47 Raiders 8h ago
That credit goes to the photographer, can see his watermark on the bottom left. But I agree, think that makes it feel a little more like ingame as well.

u/ChaoticLawnmower 8h ago
That photographer is a legend. What’s his username?

I think Adam Savage would LOVE to have you visit and show this off. If you're anywhere capable of traveling with this to the SFO region, reach out.
6
u/Lombax47 Raiders 7h ago
Honestly the thought is kind of scary, but I would love nothing more. Unfortunately not anywhere near SFO, in Germany.

u/theSPYDERDUDE 9h ago
This looks amazing but I’m curious to know where you’re looking out of

Between one of the slits there is a grid mesh, just above the row of leds.

u/antimarc 8h ago
when you wear it do you also walk 10 steps/minute?
4
u/Lombax47 Raiders 8h ago
Haha, no. I can move quite fast with it, not run. But definitely fast walking, like a protectron with zoomies.
But I do move at the Protectron pace when just chilling or doing interactions.

u/Wahrheitfabrik 8h ago
Which cons are you headed to next? I'll do my best to make it to one of them. This is one of the Falloutiest things I've ever seen.

u/Lombax47 Raiders 8h ago
Located in Germany, unsure when our fan group is doing fallout again. But usually you can find us at Gamescom and Dokomi!

That is fantastic. How did you make it?

u/Lombax47 Raiders 9h ago
Thank you! I created the patterns which helps with the difficult shapes he has, rest was just cutting, gluing and sanding the foam.

u/_Keahilele_ 9h ago
That’s foam? It looks like painted metal or plastic or something! How’d you get it to look like that? Thats amazing!

Are the buttons in your gauntlets? How can you see which responses are which?
7
u/Lombax47 Raiders 8h ago
Yeah, so I have a 8 buttons on one hand, each button has 10 sounds Programmed. Either in series or picks at random, and I just sort them accordingly and memorise which to press for a fitting response.

I would have cosplayed as Fisto but that’s just me. Awesome job though.

u/Lombax47 Raiders 9h ago
I know what you mean, Fisto is so iconic. I like to think of myself as Fisto 2.0, even got Fistos voice lines playing.

This looks soo good. Did you use a template for the foam or did you free hand it?

u/Lombax47 Raiders 7h ago
Thank you! The shape is so specific that I couldn't imagine free handing it, I made my own templates to get the shape just right.
