Coolest DIY Iron Man Cardboard Costume

Ever since I saw Iron Man the movie I loved it and always wanted to make my own costume, so I did.

I bought cardboard and metallic paint and some led lights. I really did put my time on everything to make it looked like the real thing. I used cardboard and super glue to glue them together and then, at the end, after the mask arms and everything was finished, I painted it with metallic paint and this is what I accomplished!

  3. If you mind, I would like to give you Input And Critic.

    Your Armor of Ironman Costums IS Good..
    but perhaps will be greater
    if You Paint it with Red Chrome Color
    it will make effect real Iron shine.

    and your helmet too big if i compared it with the armor.

    thank that’s all.

    bye

  5. Great costume. I admire your effort and zeal to put this suite together. It looks like you really put a lot of time and effort into it. Don’t worry about those that criticize it. There’s always going to be one.

  9. Yo! The name is Sam! You can find me on facebook i have an underground lab…..
    Well…. its actually my dads old lab, (his new on is upstairs now, he syay he is working on some kind of light fragment project)…anyway
    Im really into getting people to work with me to make an “Iron Man”. I’m currently making blueprints and am willing to accept 5 people who can:
    -program computers, user interfaces, and calibrate voice interfaces.
    -Some one who can mold thing out of titanium and iron(a welder).
    -Some one who can design amazing blue prints.
    -And Who has studied circuit board designing and advanced engineering to make it fly and cool weapons.

  10. this is so sick! a quick suggestion though. i see that you are using normal card board. when i tried to make mine, i used that as a base and then hot glued the thinner, smoother cardboard on top. the kind of stuff that cereal boxes are made of. its really easy to get, and it looks much better when you paint it. really though, good job!
