You too can become Iron man with 500 ballons...

This is just wicked, the artistic talents of Jeff Wright all shown on a time lapse video in how you can create your very own Iron Man costume.

Jeff Wright, an artist from Cleveland, Ohio, has made a career for himself (and some very snazzy costumes) out of balloon twisting. His most impressive creations to date include Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear, Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Super Mario – all made from bendy balloons in different colours.

*Pops out to purchase 1000 ballons*

That's a lot of hot air... and a lot of freaking awesome!

I love to see people's creativeness. It never ceases to amaze me!

Thanks for sharing it Rodinus. I wonder if he can do kangaroos?

Awesome!

I was particularly struck where he takes aim at the camera with his arm cannon.

Ha!

Awesome, thanks for sharing that rodinus. Got a real kick out of that as a lifelong marvel fan. Though I thought canonically his repulsor blasts were fired from his hands, I don't remember the little arm gun doohicky. Must have been a moving thing, oh well I'm just nitpicking anyhow.

Oh man I thought he was gonna fly with 500 balloons gaph taped to him.
That sure is some pretty cool art though, maybe next time he will use helium.

Strange why no-one has asked why I am popping out to purchase 1000 balloons yet?

Because I am so crap I would pop half of them whilst blowing them up...

If i don't pop myself that is...

Kindest respects

Oh, sorry I thought that statement was rhetorical. Obviously I thought this because I would have popped at least seven-hundred or so myself...

...hmmm... better get 1,500...

*Ponders whether or not just to buy a hot air ballooon and cut the Iron Man shape out and ask Mrs R to sew it up*

Would be a lot less bother... If she can get that darned old Singer machine that her mother gave her to work... Then again... bad idea, I have better things to do next weekend than fixing a cranky old Singer sewing machine.

Does anyone have the telephone N° for Stark Industries please?

Kindest respects

Thanks for that Rodinus. Family got a kick out of the vid especially the young one who is Iron Man mad. Now guess what. He wants me to build one. Sigh.

I ASSumed the other 500 were to make a Mrs. Ironman suit for Mrs. Rodinus.
