War Machine (by NAS) "Picture Heavy"

Some friends and I appeared at the Regal El Dorado Hills Stadium 14 & IMAX to help promote Iron Man 2. We assisted with service efforts that benefited the Regal Foundation's "Stars of Hope" fundraiser. The Regal Foundation serves as a non-profit charitable organization that coordinates support for numerous national and local philanthropic groups. Examples include Make-A-Wish Foundation and the American Red Cross.

Below are some sample pictures of the event. For more, please check out my 2010-05-06 - Regal El Dorado Hills Stadium 14 & IMAX Iron Man 2 Premiere Flickr gallery.

Below are some pictures that we took for ourselves.

Cap and Nick engaged in some video game competition.

Oh, you did not just use me as an ashtray.

Everything is just cool. I was very grateful that our changing and storage room was heavily air conditioned due to computer equipment in it.

I shall call him, Mini-Me. I had to take a picture of me in my suit with the HeroClix Free Comic Book Day War Machine game piece. :D

Wow, that's great! I used to live in Folsom, and saw you and a bunch of other 501st guys at the Borders there a few years ago. Nice suit!
 
haha wow what a small world, when was that?

It was last Thursday- It was a blast! As usual, too damn much fun in costume! We just blew peoples minds when they walked up and saw us! Even the "cool" teenagers had to have pics with us! :lol

Racing Col. Fury...it was hard not to bust up laughing!
 
I just want to share some upgrades that wamser_e is graciously working on for me in an effort for the SDCC.

First, he found some great LEDs that provide better light for my eyes and my unibeam/arc reactor. Inside a room, they are much more visible and uniform than what I previously had.

Here is the inside of what he set up.

Instead of some laser barcode scanners that were previously used, he found some model rocket tips that give the missile weapons pod a more "ex-wife" look.

Finally, he provided some sound and animation for my mini-gun.

That looks "Amazing"!!!
Does it get hot after awhile, or do you have some type of dc fan to keep you cool?

Thanks,
David
I do not feel any heat from the new lights in my helmet. The helmet is pretty small so there is no rooms for fans. I just got a Under Armor Tactical HeatGear Hood which is for warmer situations. We'll see if it helps me any. Regardless, I have come to accept that it will simply be warm and cramped when I wear the helmet. At a hospital visit, I wore for about an hour straight. In a convention situation, I wore it for about 20 to 30 minutes straight and then I need a five to 10 minute break for a period of about four hours.
 
Hi,
loving the suit!!! I dont wanna say anything bad really cos I can only dream of having something like that but it seems a bit unproportional. I guess that is expected, if the suit is wide it also needs to be tall but anyway this is an amazing piece of work!

Lucky u to have such an amazing talent ;)

I did not make it. Some friends made it as a one time commission and others locally have helped me modify it.
 
I forgot about my own thread. I had the modifications for 2010 San Diego Comic-con. Here are more samples from my Flickr gallery. For higher resolution images and more pictures, go to my 2010-07-20 to 2010-07-25 - 2010 San Diego Comic-con International Flickr gallery.

that suit looks so great.

love the comic con pics, i might have too look into the same head gear you are wearing, for my imperial gunner as in Australia it gets pretty hot down under.
 
For eight years, I have organized pediatric hospital visits for my local 501st garrison. We did one this past Saturday at the Sacramento Sutter Child Life Center.

My thanks and gratitude to the volunteer costumes, photographers and handlers who came out for the pediatric visit. The Sutter staff, pediatric patients and their families, appreciated the volunteer's time and efforts in enriching their lives.

Along with Star War characters, one of our garrison members was a Batman (TDK version). Bounty Hunted unveiled his new Captain America suit and I wore my War Machine outfit.

Below are some sample pictures from my 2010-10-23 - Child Life Center Visit Flickr gallery.

My local 501st garrison and other costumers paid a visit this past Saturday at the Northern California Shriners Hospital.

My thanks and gratitude to the volunteer costumers, photographers and handlers who came out for the pediatric visit. The Shriners staff, pediatric patients and their families, appreciated the volunteer's time and efforts in enriching their lives.

I really appreciated the opportunity for Zen to be Iron Man and for me to be in my War Machine at the same time.

Below are some sample pictures from my 2010-12-11 - Northern California Shriners Hospital Visit Flickr gallery.

LdyDarkStr, Zendragon, Bounty Hunted, myself and some other costumers, appeared at both Sacramento and Roseville, California, A-1 Comics stores to entertain customers for the 2011 Free Comic Book Day along with raising donations for the Northern California Shriners Hospital.

Pictures for the FCBD portion can be found in my 2011-05-07 - 2011 Free Comic Book Day Flickr Gallery. Below are some samples.

A local CBS TV crew covered this location and showed our people in action. They even mentioned our efforts to visit Shriners. You can check out the full story at Indepenant Stores Celebrate Free Comic Book Day story link. Below are some image captures from that story.

Doing double duty for the good others, we all visited the Northern California Shriners Hospital on that same day to bring the FCBD experience to pediatric patients and their families. Our photographer is still processing his pictures, but here are some sample pictures (raw and edited).
