We will tell you how to build your costume but you will be able to customize it as you wish. That's why we encourage our users to provide feedback, testimonials and even reviews on third-party services like TrustPilot. In this way, it will be easier for you to trust us and easier for us to build a reputation. The information is very complete and organized Andrew Smith No words!
Before seeing this I thought that just an engineer or an expert could make an Ironman armor costume but I'm amazed how easy is.
Totally worth it! It powered up. Everything works! It fits great. It feels great. The light up eyes are fantastic. This, to be honest, is probably the best investment I've ever made. I tested everything and it's all ready.
You're the best. Thanks for your patience. You're the very best. Mark P. Belcher I still can't believe I finished my armor in just 1 month. It was very simple for me to follow the instructions. Also, the videos are very helpful. Good job! Istvan Nagy People ask me for pictures and autographs in the street. Thanks to this guide I became quite famous in my neighborhood and I'm even earning money with my suit.
The IronSuit Members Area so I can learn and use all the resources available on the website to build one or more costumes. I understand that all the material will be available for me in the members' area of this site and I am not going to receive any physical or tangible good in my physical address.
I understand that I will participate in the monthly raffle to win different gifts and prizes from the website only while my subscription remains active. Not really! Do you remember the Kinder Garden where your homework was cutting, folding and pasting? It is almost that simple. Actually, in the first step, you will do pretty much the same. Except that you will need more patience and to put more attention to the details.
Seriously, the hardest part is the beginning and I am not kidding when I say that you just need to print, cut, fold and paste. The files we will give you are ready to use.
This is a very important question. We all know that Tony Stark or most of the characters on our website have an athletic complexion; in this way, if you are the proud owner of a big belly I would recommend you to work out a little bit before you decide to build your Ironman costume or any other costume. The 3D files ready to print are from someone who is 5.

So after getting sick of filler primer ruining my sandpaper I took the risk and tested a theory. I took a Dual Orbital Palm Sander with 80 gritt sandpaper to an iron man mask.
And after that i never looked back. I literally sanded my entire suit in about 2 days and went onto priming and painting. It was amazing. I had been sleeping on this method for way to long.
But be warned it takes some time to dial in! What color did you use? Where did you get it? I went through days and days of testing and painting and comparing and clear coating and so many damn plastic spoons trying to dial in the proper colors. But i wanted this to be perfect. It had to be perfect. And why yes; my entire suit is spray painted.
This is something people often neglect. The amount of messages i received while building this asking what colors I was using and where to get them was insane. Stop asking. Or you live in a different climate.
A different environment. Hows the humidity? Do you have a paint booth? A cold garage? So many variables play in when painting you NEED to test it for yourself. Find your own colors. Learn what works for you. I ended up landing on a combination of a UK specific Rustoleum Automotive line of spraypaint.
It was perfect. The 2X red was just a base coat for the Metallic red. And all 3 colors could take a lacquer coat just fine. This really brought out that deep shine the lacquer had to offer. I started with rubbing compound then moved onto a resin polish. It also helped add a small small small layer of protection from grime and dirt. How is everything attached? Can you walk in it? What did you use? Let me start off by saying I messed up big time here.
I skipped this step before I painted and I regret it every day. Fit the entire suit before you paint a single thing. No, Really. It may seem obvious to some and i know that. You may get confident like I did. I had to make many adjustments after the fact but now i had to worry about damaging the paint. It was not worth the headache. But with that said…. I think I did a good job. I spent a lot of time sanding and trimming the edges of the parts with a Dremel to help it wrap around me better.
No gaps. No seams. No visible body parts in the Costume within reason. It was something that always bugged me about Cosplays i saw. I can still do the typical poses.
I can walk. I can move. But sitting? That was never an option. What you see here is the very early stages of my strapping system. It was a lot of trial and error and duct tape of adding and moving straps. I used very cheap nylon and elastic straps from Amazon along with plastic buckles and clips. I then began to incorporate magnets and Velcro. I spent months revising and editing and improving the system for comfort. I eventually landed back on much simpler system to the one I started with.
Then velcro on the sides hook it under my arms and waist. Allowing for more twisting and flexibility -Gloves are…Gloves. If you want to see more on this you can check out This Video on Strapping and Harnesses. I have zero idea how to code and program. All of which I have no idea how to operate. And to be honest I had no intention of learning yet. But what I do know very well is 12V DC systems from my automotive background.
I know relays and triggers and LEDs and parallel circuits. This I could do. This I was good at. So I started in on it with a goal….
And I know that seems silly; just learn to code! But it became a goal. Could I motorize a helmet with no arduino?
Could I wire up the entire body light system? Could I incorporate finger controls? Yes, yes I could. I also decided to do this for another reason; Programming is intimidating.
And i know for a fact that it can scare a lot of people away from things like this. So if i could at the very least make a method that would get people in the door; why not? Help get their feet wet and dabble into electronics. They could then grow into it and expand. The systems are actually very basic. And the fact that i found a 12V USB pack still blows my mind but it works! The other challenge was getting an Iron Man helmet to open and close with no programming.
Enter The Hotwired Micro Servo. Now I was by no means the one to invent this but the tutorials for it were bad. Like next level bad. Because that same reason of upgrading. I went through a lot of testing and methods from Reed Switches to DPDT switches but if you want to see how it all comes together and can be applied watch this: Motorizing an Iron Man Helmet.
Few words can describe just how proud of this thing I am. It was the focal point. The centerpiece. The main attraction. The process and idea was actually pretty straight forward. I saw people who had just 3D printed colored stones. I wanted them to look nice on and off. Step 1: Print the plastic masters of the stones to proper scale and make resin-safe silicone moulds for them.
Step 2: Buy way to much resin dye and spend a few days testing different colors and combinations. Find the best 6. Step 3: Mix some clear resin with the resin dye and pour into the moulds. Step 5: Install and backlight the Resin Stones with color specific super bright 12V SMD lights so you can down passing aircraft from the ground. Could the Mind stone be a little more yellow?
