Wow. I have no words. This is just incredible!

Brilliant work. Never tried molding and casting, but you sir, have me wanting to give it a shot! Amazing how convenient it can make part fabrication and replication.
Here's the next part of this, with partial suit up. More at: XRobots.co.uk - Iron Man MkVI Armour

HOLY BANANAS!!!! I don't even know where to begin, this is pure genius! The exoskeleton + magnetic setup = WIN!
You have taken harnessing to a whole new level! Great work
Placing a few more pieces on the exoskeleton:
Here's a short video update on this, and my thoughts for the legs/boots:

Looks very accurate, hard to believe its foam!
It isn't, it's cast plastic, all the details are here: XRobots.co.uk - Iron Man MkVI Armouraliensfx said:
You wouldn't be selling this by any chance would you. I'm kinda pressed for time and am looking for an elegant connecting system for my fiberglass resin build which is still in progress. I often thought about something that would snap together, but had trouble figuring out how to take it off (Much like Tony Stark in the first movie
This system is awesome. Look forward to seeing the finished result!
Interesting thoughts seems to be working out superb so far.XRobots said:

Nothing for sale I'm afraid, I've been doing this project for almost two years, so I'd like to get it finished before anything...soxbaseball0802 said:

I understand that. Figured it couldn't hurt to ask, right? I enjoy your tutorials and will do my homework.XRobots said:
Keep up the good work!
Very sophisticated
Here's the latest on this, I've built the boot and partial shin exoskeleton to mould the rigid pieces on. This includes a hinge at the ball of the foot and two floating hinges on each ankle to allow natural walking: Iron Man Armour Exoskeleton Strapping System Part 5 Boot and Shins
There's not enough love for xrobot's iron man thread. This stuff is ridiculously awesome.

Agreed. I'll be really impressed when he actually perfects repulsor technology tho... :-P
Thanks guys, here's some more pictures - just ruined a perfectly good pair of wellington boots:
fantastic work! I love checking on the progress of this

Agreed
Hehe cool, those latest update photos remind me of the power-loader scene in Aliens. Maybe you could add hydraulic assistance to your build
Here's a quick video showing the complete process of moulding the foam pieces to make rigid shells: XRobots - Iron Man Armour Boots, from foam to fiberglass, moulding and casting - YouTube

Great work - truly inspired.
This is looking truely spectacular as always James. I have been following this build pretty much from the early days when it was just foam. I never thought it would become a rigid suit. My wife isn't going to be happy with you when the plastizote, silicon and smooth-on arrives in the post. She best count her luck stars that it's only the helmet I am going to cast when it's done......well for now
Tom.
This is beautiful. The simplest solutions aren't always the best. I never would have thought about the ankle problem unless you brought it up (natural walking). Also, I should have posted this ages ago, but the servo solution is really unique and pretty simple. I've been working with a much more complicated hinge which is more visible. Well done all around. Thanks for the videos also.
