Hello everyone! I’m back! I have been gone for a while now as I have been very busy with other things. My YouTube channel has taken most of that time. I now have over 100 subscribers! If you want to subscribe here is the link. I mostly post LEGO stop motions! Alright now focusing on the main object of this post. I have been making and inventing things since I was 4. I have built things like a shirt made from a Chipotle bag to a complete suit of armor with a sword from cardboard! There was a cardboard Captain America shield made with a strap to put on your hand just like Captain America! I made a basketball hoop and Thanos Gauntlet. I made Thanos hammer and the many variations of the classic lightsaber each one better than the one before with lights and sounds. The lightsaber era was very fun. I enjoyed working on the lightsabers trying to improve the latest one. There are probably over 500 inventions I have made during my years. But now I have been working on a very important invention. A full Iron Man suit. Creating an Iron Man suit would be cool. I want to build a suit of bullet proof armor with rocket boots and laser blasting hands, futuristic weapons and a butler-like-speaking conscious in your head calling you “Boss” every time you want to activate a villain busting weapon. So in my quest to finish this work of art. I have started simple.
The laser hand. Or the repulsor. So I have made an Iron Man repulsor in the past but it was too simple. I simply took a red winter glove and attached a small reading lamp to the bottom and extended the light to the center in the palm of the glove. But that was too simple. And it looked really artificial and quite frankly wasn’t cool. I mean Iron Man doesn’t have a visible reading lamp attached to his hand. I only used two parts for that. So I wanted to improve it and make it look realistic. So I completely destroyed that version. I took the reading lamp only though. Since I could not find any other light the reading lamp was the best option. It was a reading lamp with a clip on the bottom and a flexible noodle thing that could move the light anywhere. The light was circular and had a metal ring around it. That circle light looked perfect for the middle light repulsor in an Iron Man glove. Just like in the movies. But I only needed the circle part alone. I didn’t need the noodle thing or the clip. Or else that would look artificial. So I had to mod and cut the noodle carefully from the circle light. Now I can easily on and off the light by pressing a button on the back. But when I put that on the glove, I won’t be able to turn the light on. Because the button will be facing the palm and the main light will be at the front. But that’s an easy fix. It’s just a matter of switching on the light differently. No modding or adding any other extensions. Just I have to press the front of the light so the button presses against the palm so it turns on easily. Now the palm I have been talking about isn’t my fleshy human palm. I’m talking about the metallic cool glove. Now this glove took a long time to make. It isn’t just like that winter glove no not at all. I used tin foil to get that metal look and I made a whole glove out of it. I had to attach each individual tin foil finger I made to the main base of the hand. The process of making the hand and fingers took 2 hours! I made many variations and changes until it was perfect. My hand slid in perfectly into the glove. I now attached the circle light (which I wrapped a strip of cardboard around to make it look a little wider so It doesn’t look so scrawny and insignificant to the width and size of the tin foil glove) to the glove and I had a fully operation Iron Man repulsor glove. With the iconic light in the middle. It was perfect. It looked exactly like the ones in the movies. My step one of the Iron Man suit was complete!
Meditate on this, I will
