Here is the first Halloween test fitting for Iron Man armor. The only thing missing are the shoulder bells, which are finished but are currently drying. The helmet is a foam core, with resin and Bondo on the outside.

That is so AWESOME!!!!
I need to do some "honey I blew up the kid" so my boy is big enough for the warmachine suit I wanna make him.

Great work man,
Tom.
 
absolutely brilliant! I'll bet you're the best daddy in the world now :D

How long did it take to put together?
 
You make me feel like such an inadequate father. This is awesome and something you guys will always have together. The suit looks great!

It didn't take too long. The whole suit was completed in about 3 months. That's with me only working nights & weekends. Much easier to construct that papercraft, nevertheless, I like the finish of paper/pepakura resin armor.

OMG, that's awesome and cute as Hell, is he going to use that for Halloween as well? If so give him the Tony Stark goatee as well...lol, all he needs, be really cute if he had his friends as counterparts to form the Avengers......Avengers: Worlds tiniest Heroes....lol
 
I wish I had this outfit for Halloween when I was 5 year old!

All I got was a black bin bag with a hole in the top for my head. Then a cheap zombie mask hahaa

Great work tho mate
 
That is damn cool. Could I suggest picking up some face painting make-up and giving him a goatee? ;)

We are doing an Avengers Halloween family theme this year. I'm going as the comic book version of Nick Fury, my wife will be Black Widow, my oldest will be the TFA version of Captain America, and my middle one will go as Spiderman. I know, Spiderman had a brief stint in the Avengers, but he's really excited about it. My youngest, as you can see will be Iron Man.

I'm almost done putting the eyes on Spiderman & have a few alterations left on the Captain. Pics will be forthcoming.

LOL, Each year I keep telling myself I'll recoup the expenses of making these by selling them on eBay. Each year I just can't do it. Here are the costumes I've built over the years.

Every single one of these costumes sit in my basement collecting dust. I just can't seem to be able to part with them.

You're easily the coolest dad in the world. These costumes and memories are things that will stick with your kids for the rest of their lives.
