How to make an Iron Man Mask

Step 6Bringing it all together

Bringing it all together
The mask is effectively finished in the previous stage but as mentioned before it's not just the mask that makes the costume.

This mask connects to the arc reactor and also draws power from the 9V battery in my pocket. The T-shirt was bought from the local store and the combats were my own already.

Ok, so I spent most of the evening with the mask up so that I could talk and drink but that's not the point, I made another great costume that I'm chuffed about.

Insert more jokes about the lack of a well formed body here... :D(Honestly it's just a bad angle, I find I have 360 of them)

this will help so much I'm going to use a car battery to power my full suit I'm building. only I'm not going to make a exact replica I'm going to paint it different. so far I got almost I arm done with missiles (bottle rockets) and flame thrower (axe the body spray + lighter)

also i have finished the arm it took a very long time i have made a flat cloth like thing (like the thing that checks your blood pressure in a doctors office) and ajusted it so that the more pressure inside it the more airflow there is the the air muscles (look it up on google and they cost alot) thus greater strength. also the arm is rather heavy about 60 lbs (i tryed making only the armor but found out it would be too heavy for practical use thus i came up with the idea of implimenting air muscles in the design but also made it more bulky (i still doubt the the strength of the armor against live fire so im limited to only shooting at it with pelet guns) soon ill put up a youtube video. also im still having problems with some of the weapon system like the flame thrower is emptying to quickly and the bottle rockets blowing to soon. any one who can help with those two problems please contact me

Seriously if you ignore the warnings and finish this... PUT IT ON YOUTUBE... if anything wrong happens the whole world will be able to see. Plus you could be famous for it. :D

 Please, for your own sake, DO NOT BUILD IT! It can only end badly, in dozens of ways. First three off the top of my head. 1)Wire SOMETHING wrong, causing the car battery to either leak or explode, dripping/sending sulfuric acid all over the place, 2)the flamethrower misfires, setting yourself on fire and causing 1 to occur, 3)the bottle rocket behaves unexpectedly and causes severe burns to either you or someone else.

Use a spray bottle of ether and lighter for the flamethrower, Trust me its much more effective
