Summary It took a few weeks to build the replica suit.
(WEB DESK) - One Marvel fan wanted to be Iron Man so much he decided to build his own costume made out of Eva foam.
Unlike a lot of bespoke suits, this one turned out to be just as awesome looking as the real one.
As well as having a nearly spot-on helmet, the 17-year-old also built gloves that lit up.
A friend of the teenager, who has not given his name, put images of the costume up on Reddit.
‘So, my 17-year-old friend decided it was a good idea to build an Iron Man suit,’ Mafferick wrote.
‘Turns out, it was an amazing idea. Such a good idea in fact, he wore it to the opening night of Iron Man 3 in-front of hundreds of people.’
The superhero fan, who said it took a few weeks to build the replica suit, impressed users on the forum with how detailed his costume was.
Pickled_Taco added: ‘So cool that he even did the carbon scoring on the mask. sorry not really a question, but A+ job. I would buy it.’
Another user was so captivated he inquired as to whether he was willing to make another suit.
Goodnames679 said: ‘Would you be willing to make these custom for other people if they were willing to pay a large enough price?
‘I’m sure there’s enough people looking for a badass Iron Man suit to keep you in business with that for a long time.’
