Iron Man Arc Reactor with Flight Stabilizer (Armor Pieces too). Pics!

[Darkmyster]

Hey everyone! So, im kind of new to this site. I've been watching what people have done, so i decided to join myself and show off what i've been doing. Like every good nerd out there, im an Iron Man fan, and since pretty much everyone has told me that i look like Robert Downey Jr, i decided to go with Iron Man this year for halloween.

Costume pieces that i've chosen are from where he's testing his arm stabilizer, so the props that im making are the fore-arm parts (with full red armored hand) and the arc reactor. Thus far, i've almost completed my arc reactor, and ill start on the arm parts this week. Let me know what you think!

Also, if anyone has tips on making the arm stuff, hand and all, let me know. I'll be asking about all of that soon. Thanks! :lol

The pics show the arc reactor at different stages. The last one is it's current state. Its really close. Here's what i've got:

YA! I saw your stuff, and its awesome! Love your arc reactor too. Very well done. I've decided to do the whole hand armor too, with one armor plate going up the top of the arm piece, similar to one of the screen shots i've seen. So far, i've done the frame of the arm stabilizer, but not much else. I'll get some updates up this weekend.

I finished!:lol So im gonna be posting different pics here of the finished product along with some of the in-work stuff. Let me know what you think!

These are just some general shots of me wearing the props.

If you have any questions on what i did for it, feel free to ask. Also, since you can't tell in the pictures, ill say it here. I put a switch on the wrist cuff, so that when i bent my hand back, like i was shooting the stabilizer, the hand light would turn on. It was fun and very addicting to use. ha ha ha. :lol
