This is probably the coolest fan made costume I’ve seen to date. There are some pretty cool Transformers costumes out there but this War Machine built by Anthony Le blows the competition out of the water. The attention to detail on this costume is quite amazing. It’s constructed out of high-impact urethane pieces which are attached with 1,500 rivets. The helmet is made out of clay and resin with built in LED lights. The War Machine also features several motors to move the faceplate on the helmet and to spin the rotary gun. The whole project took approximately one month to build and cost $4,000. Anthony also dresses as Iron Man when he visits Children’s Hospitals and various fund raisers.
Below is a brief clip of the War Machine at the 2010 StarFest Costume Contest.
