I love technology, and have always enjoyed technology related science fiction ( hence my membership on a site such as this). With the new iron man cartoon out, I've been thinking again of building my own prop suit.



From what I've seen so far on youtube, I see that it is possible to make the glowing chest, arms and headlights. In fact, some people even claim to be able to make the headlights in such a way, that they can still see through it.

However, I would like to add some more. Like, maybe a pellet gun or a fan.
Any ideas ?

Also, in terms of the fictional suit and "superstrength, let's suppose, that the suit connects to nerve endings, and that there are additional batteries on his back.. to what extent would it work ?

Again, let's assume that (unlike in the movie) The suit has additional power sources all connected in series with the arc reactor

 

You could check out the Replica Prop Forum or The League Of Heroes. I've seen some pretty elaborate Iron Man costumes there.
