very true CPU64, but there are certain parts where Downey Jr. is actually wearing a suit. It is composed of over 400 parts and all the flexible parts as in elbows, fingers, knees, and abdominal area are cast rubber or silicon. They then used a metalic paint so it would shine like metal and what not. I am planning on making the different parts, then making the molds. After that, will be casting, most of the suit out of plastic and maybe even cold cast aluminium, then the rest out of rubber so It will be flexible and what not. I even had a random idea to make the part under the chestpiece out of metal parts and what not. I do not know for sure yet... but, some key components of my suit will be able to move, and be like the movie when the flaps move, the boots extend for flight, the rocket pod comes out. I have already began the designing process of how to do all htis, but I have a lot of work ahead of me.
