Thanks for the props, During the test, I did not realize that the knee joints were taped over ( getting ready for paint) and that restricted mobility. I put the shoulders under load and balanced them. Just a pound or two of pressure and they move up and down nicely. I did not load the elbows, so as a result, they did not flex during the test. As I have tested them before, I am not worried about them. I still have to add a strap to keep the chest in line , it opens up with a pulley, but also when I lean forward....So gotta add that in. The backpack is unmounted and only 40% done. I also added heavy duty clips to the torso straps, and it was fairly easy to clip in first try. The Head still needs a mounting bracket, but I propped it up for the photo, looks like I need to mount it a bit higher. It seams so large when it is on it's own, and so small when mounted 
I am getting very excited about this. Aiming to display him at NYCC 2015. Who else will be there ? I wanna see some Avengers !

this thing is fantastic, you truly have skills..
on a side note and i hope you don't take it as critisum but it looks like the cod and lower torso are small in relationship to the thighs..
again, not knocking your build AT ALL, i don't think i could pull it off as clean and quick as you have..

There is nothing quick about this build. About 10 months of total work between me and my Apprentice. Cod looks small, it's over 55 inches waist, side panels for torso will add volume there. I want to be able to touch my toes while wearing this, making the waist thicker would interfere with movement and dancing I too would prefer an exact replica, but some allowances had to be made for the physics of putting a guy with 22 inch shoulders in a suit with 66 inch shoulders. I take no offense to your comments, I have had similar thoughts.

Ok guys, here is a video of it in motion. Elbows are not under spring load, so are locked. When under load, they will flex easily. Knees are taped, and held in the wrong position, so mobility will improve when I finish painting. Of course I will be adding the backpack and the side paneling. Plus I will fill in around were the arms show. All feedback is welcome, just be polite about my gorilla arms https://www.facebook.com/ExtremeCostumes/videos/vb.138124152907811/868250566561829/?type=2&theater

Here we are installing the ribs and mapping out placement on the backpack. The ribs fold down and allow greater mobility. The backpack is placed to allow me to put both my elbos and the HB elbows back, and not hit it.
I caught a fish this big !!

Haps, I plan on using the Hulkbuster fri/sat...but may find other uses for him
LetS try to find each other. We will be mainly in the lobby area and some time in the main corridor. These are really then only two places big enough for me to move around with knocking someone over. Just Look for the massive orange Thing. Would Love to get a photo op with you.
