Fully Functional Iron Man Briefcase Suit

Well, maybe 'fully functional' is stretching it a bit. It can't fly and I wouldn't trust the armor to stop small rocks thrown by a child, let alone a bullet. You can wear it though. And it glows. (Via)

All the little plastic bits

The 'armor' is made from nearly 400 different heat-formed hand painted plastic pieces held together with elastic, fishing line and magnets.
Then it all gets a bit Technical

Much of the support structure is made from over 4,000 Lego Technic pieces.
Vacuuforming

Created by making a clay model, freezing it, then sucking hot plastic around it. Not textbook, but it works.
Finished Mask

The eyes were cut from a plastic storage container and the LEDs were wired to turn on when the helmet was closed.
The first fitting

Don't worry, it gets better.
Finished model, briefcase mode

Excuse me, sir. Airport security would like to have a word with you...
