Avengers 2 Hulkbuster

To answer for what I'm doing, I've finalized the sizing and am going to deal with my arms being out to the side with my hands in the upper forearms controlling squeezy levers and a modified universal joint that will rotate the forearms about 60 degrees.

The helmet hopefully will open and close as similar as I can to the movie.

I'm aiming for the knees to be inline with my own and leaving the crotch area of the cod open for easier walking.

I'm trying to talk myself out of the chest and tummy from opening out the the side along with the cod, legs, and feet.... but it's so tempting to add all the tech....

How do you plan to do that? 3d printed or what? it so much details and quality... for handmade it's almost impossible, i think.but its gonna be great build)))

All print, I can go as high as 10" squared...
If I can find the hours to invest into it and fix it that is. fixed my last voltage issue but not the MB needs to be replaced after the cat used it as a toy while I was at work.
In the mean time I can work on the frame work with 4" contuit pipe and hash out the details in 3D

I'm only printing a shell will as little fill as possible. some of the larger pieces that don't have a lot of detail will be printed with a volcano head on low def, sand and fill, sand and fill

looks like I got click happy on the pics, please ignore the Halo Ranger one (using the same hand concept in the HB)

i understand it. long process, but i think it's worth of it. Soon i will give you my done LD HB 8,5ft, maybe someone will make it too))???????1.png
 
This is where I got the idea for the wired hand
View attachment 507082

It's a robot hand from InMoov which can be found here:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17773

It's an amazing design that I try to use as inspration for large arm support. instead of servos i opt to go with squeezy levers and light weight springs to restore fingers back to an outright position

Yea dude, that is a lot. Looks sick though! I look forward to seeing it. How long do you think the process will take? Are you making it for a specific occasion or con?

Ok guys, I have a question. So, how much movement do you expect to be able to do in this suit? Are you taking it to a convention? I'm sure I'll be able to walk, and go up and down stairs, but beyond that and a slight hand wave, I'm not so sure. I see you guys are working on finger movement but, what else would you suggest for such a bulky costume?

I think you'll be surprised how difficult walking will be. I've done Warhammer Space Marine legs before (never got the rest done, but thats another story) and walking is pretty difficult.
Lifting the leg up and bending at the knee to walk normally gets quite tricky not just because of the weight but also because of the size of the legs and knocking one part into the other.
I ended up with a bit of a weird walk where I would swing my legs out sideways and lean my torso over.

Also, stairs are difficult just because steps are normally only a foot or so deep, and Hulkbusters foot is going to be bigger than the step. My Space Marine foot was about 17" long, and I couldn't walk up stairs very well. The toe would be on the step but by heel would be hanging off. Coming down wasn't so bad.

Thanks for the input. I have already tried stairs in my HB boots, and the fact that I'm doing a scaled down version helped a little bit. I can actually get a little bit of my toe onto the step itself, as long as I throw my weight on that it works, but not easy. Not sure how to make that easier either :/

The thing is, the farther along I get into it, and people are really starting to see how it looks I keep hearing "You MUST sign up for the cosplay contest", BUT I'm pretty certain there will be stairs up on stage, then walking across the stage, and I really don't want to look like an idiot. I think I just need to get the suit done, see how it handles then decide.... but if anyone knows how to increase mobility, (without a 3d printer) let me know!

I think the more secure your food is the easier time you will have. Have you tired to side step the stairs? the more surface area you can use will hopefully make it easier for you

Although side stepping is definitely an option and easier, it is all very clumsy. Trying to fit both feet on one step, or crossing over each other with the very large thighs getting in the way. Also, the "wider than a door frame" part is difficult, turning sideways to walk through them. I've actually used E600 to hold the feet to the stilts, fiberglassed the inside of the feet, and strapping the stilts to my shoes, so movement on the foot itself is really good. I think the elbows and the knees will be my difficult parts. I guess there isn't much you can do with the bulkier items other than make sure they are well connected.

Added to the first post, I didn't design it btw only repaired ;)

New motherboard for printer installed and seems to be working. Need to pick a few supplies and re calibrate before test printing begins
