Cosplayers have gotten incredibly detailed over the years, but this new fan-madeIron Mansuit is on a whole new level. The suit is so ridiculously detailed that it looks like a real prop fromIron Man3, which is what Wayne Berendhuysen had in mind when he started on the project. There have been some pretty amazing fan-madeIron Mansuits over the years, but this one is easily the best one that has ever come out over the years, without a doubt.
Dutch cosplayer Wayne Berendhuysen got into cosplay and making his owncostumeswhile suffering from a deep depression. His therapist at the time suggested a creative outlet, which has thrived and helped Berendhuysen battle his depression. He started off slowly making some masks, the first being a normalIron Manmask that won Berendhuysen first place in a costume party, leading him to further explore his creative endeavors. The first mask is really well done, but it was just a precursor to where Wayne Berendhuysen is today with the ultimate fan-madeIron Mancostume.
In total, the suit took Wayne Berendhuysen 6 months to create. He used a3D printerto make the gloves that shoot smoke as well as light beams. The rest of the costume is made from foam and resin, resulting in a realistic look of anIron Mansuit. Hidden all over the suit are little switched that trigger different features from the suit including rocket thrusters lighting up and shooting smoke as well as a mask that opens up and lights up. The suit is surprisingly light-weight and Wayne Berendhuysen can be seen moving around with ease, showing off his creation to the world.
The entire suit is powered by a 14 Volt LiPo pack and even includes a USB charger in theArc Reactorfor added effect.Tony Starkhas had a lot of features packed into his suits over the last handful of movies, butInfinity Warwill see the superhero in his best suit yet, but it won’t have a working USB port to charge his cellphone like Wayne Berendhuysen’s. The Model 51 or Model-Prime armor will give Tony Stark all of the features from his previous suits thanks to his Nano technology.
