Iron Man Hulkbuster Cosplay #25 | Leg Work! | James Bruton
Part 25 of my Iron Man Hulkbuster Avengers age of Ultron inspired build. This week I'm testing walking as much as I can and sorting out the leg opening mechanism.
In this series, I build a complete Iron Man Hulkbuster cosplay with animatronics and mechatronics with a step-by-step guide to cover everything you’ll need to build your very own suit. From 3D printing the parts to installing the mechanics that make this whole suit wearable and actually able to walk around.

② XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current KZread maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

That lever action is fantastic.
you need way more recognition for this
you look like Tony Stark making the prototype of the suit in Iron Man 1. knocking stuff off the table and stuff xD
You stomping around, hitting the roof and the toppling over that stack of objects really reminded me of Iron Man's first flight tests in the movie. :)
You should use a bassy speaker and have it make some robotic/stomping sounds when you walk! Plenty of room for it in that suit!
"flying bum plate" is my favorite group of words now.
"Floating bum plate"... I have no idea why I find that so funny.
Those leg mechanisms are slick! Great work.
Am a huge fan of iron man and i hope to see real life iron man suits, and you make my dream come trues So,please keep making more videos of iron man videos and dont abandon the projects to bye.GOOD WORK.
Loving how this build is coming, far more intricate and detailed than I ever could have imagined!! You are an inspiration sir!
This project looks amazing and it shows how much hard work and effort you put into it.
Great video, very good to see work done on the legs.
The mechanisms you design are my favorite parts.
Man you are a inspiration. You dedication to these projects is amazing. It makes me see once you set your mind to it you can do anything. Thank you for these amazing videos.
you looked like a SUPER SPACE MARINE! keep making videos!!
I stay up for these videos! Fantastic work as always James. Imagining about the finished product with all the opening panels makes me so satisfied for some reason.
Haters gona hate. I think you are a genius. Go Man go! Follow your bliss.
Looking really good James.. Should be epic seeing you walk around in that costume.
James when you started this project I had my doubts and was worried about how it would look, but I'm extremely happy to say that's not the case anymore. Keep up the fantastic work!
These get better and better. British ingenuity at its best. I now count down the days til the next update. And as always, sponsored by chemical welds....
Nice progress, James. It is always a pleasure seeing updates on all of your projects. Makes the day a little brighter. Keep up the amazing work! :D
You are the smartest person I've ever seen
Coming along very nicely, James. Keep up the great work.
It's really cool to see how this is all shaping up. I loved the use of Ninjaflex for that leg mechanism, clever stuff. Good work!
Very nice Mech with a very nice action. Love the work James.
Awesome it's coming together nicely now you are getting the leg sorted, great content, keep it up
Lesson learnt- don't skip leg day!!
So as you can probably tell, as you wear the suit, the large chest and arms make the legs look much smaller, large in part of the thighs. I think a simple solution to help make the legs look longer and more proportional is to add a knee cap too lift everything thigh and up higher and so, taller. Have the cap line up with the thigh when straight and then slowly bend with the shin. But this is just an idea.
I wish I had done more trial and error testing with my armor before my first full suit up. Never think I could do something this big but it's cool. really want to see the finished suit but it's got a lot of work left still coming along. Your ability to rig mechanical engineering into your suits and projects is amazing and very informative.
even iron man can't skip leg day.
Amazing, You are amazing . Love the work.
Nice work James,love you dedication and enthusiasm;)
Absolutely Amazing!
You could make the inside more comfortable for you by adding a tube connected to a drink in the chest, a network of small fans to cool you and maby an mp3 player turned on with a button on one of the joysticks. Just an idea and is probably really inpractical XD
Cosplayers define "comfort" differently than non-cosplayers. "Banging on the Codplate."--The original, British version of "Ow, My Balls."
Excellent work James, it's really coming along! It seem to take a while to get started but i can see that you really have a great vision of how you want it to look in the end as the progress has really sped up. keep up the good work!
I have been waiting in anticipation all week :)
Can't wait to see it finished!! :-D
sigh, its good to see that i am not the only one smashing into stuff in my work area..... :D
Awesome work James its really looking good
I like the sound it makes when you walk, its a bit too 'woody', but it sounds very mechanical, I like it!
Can't wait for this to finish. Hope it makes it before the movie comes out :)
Dude, this is awesome!!!
Dude you're awesome! All your videos inspired me to make my own cardboard Iron Man helmet(took way too long)
***** Another great vid! never mind the negative commenting! And for people to tell you how to, how and what you should do with your suite, i say to them.. you act like you have a HOMEMADE HULK BUSTER SUITE at your house that your telling him the flows of his!! .. great vid james ! cant wait for the next.
Never skip leg day.
Everything about hulkbuster is shaping up really well, apart from the hands. Please redo them! Apart from that great work :)
That is so amazing!
didnt know leg day could be so fun
If ur worried about weight work out a little so u don't have to worry so much about it. Apter from the its gonna be EPIC! can't wait to see the finished suit
so cool i still hyper to see this done..awesome work
Great work
cant wait until the suit is done
Great video, i thought you were going to fall that first test, i was so happy to see you recovered and nothing broke. You forgot to mention your Patreon page, you need more people funding you so there are even more projects,
that's really cool!
oh mi god you are awesomeee
4:07 am and watching here in new england territory lol, (its only been an hour since you uploaded this video) I mean it, I'm freak'n loyal to this channel and it's updates haha.. :) *****

Brilliant!
I think putting some foam inside the boxes below your leg will get rid of that hollow clonking sound when you walk. and no the top of the foot hinge part
nice work man
Fantastic, the suit looks amazing, keep up the good work *****
Personally I think James has done an amazing job with this, the hands look a little bit derpy, but I'm sure nobody cares too much. However I think it may be a good idea to install cameras in the eyes, just a small camera, maybe position a phone with the camera pointing through the eye holes, so it's possible to see in front of you at all times, instead of having to peer through the small eye holes.
For more articulate, precise, and graceful motions of the Hulkbuster suits by the wearer, the Japanese has already the skeletal framework for large costumes. They can even run fast in these big suits. They were called "skeletonics". They can be viewed here in youtube
Have you considered installing gas struts/springs between the legs and torso, to take some weight off your shoulders? They could be adjusted to compress under the weight of the torso when standing on its own, but provide enough force to aid you while carrying it. :- )
Good job:)
was sure you we're about to tip over for a sec!!
So cool 👌👌👌👌👌
Amazing how you do it you would think a kid wound not what to WACTH this I am 9 😄 I love it
coooool bro ,like
THESE were the guys who made it
This reminds me of me testing the mark II, Me: thats not were i want to go.. No no not the cars not the cars OOOOAAAH You: Oh, there goes the seeling, ans some other stuff..

Tony Stark what happened to fnaf4
should of been 'Not Skipping Leg Day' xD
I love your R4
Oh nice and cool
I would pay just about $500 for that awesome piece of work
Oh it is very good suit.I want this suit)
that is f*ing awesome dude!! you said you don't wear it all the time when your at comic con (or dunno) that's allright, but i think you should just do a normal tony stark look when you're out of it. you know, just the hair,light beard and the light of the arcreactor that you see under his tshirt. that way you're completely in character. Or maybe you allready do that and i'm just babling hehe dunno haven't seen your complete video serie. Anywayz nice work man! The hours you put in there i can't imagine. Respect!

Its the long overdue leg-day.
Id definitely would walk down shops in it lol
Hello James. Thanks for another great episode. This opening mechanism for calfs is brilliant (again) and I'm surprised how smoothly it works. From my viewers point, whole mechanism looks a little bit to far to the back and outer side of the leg (considering there will be additional frame structure and foam panel with texture) yet that may be just wrong perspective impression from the video. I have one question and one suggestion though. First off, yould you estimate the weight of that torso or whole suit? It probably looks much heavier than what it really is. The sugegstion would be putting multiple arc reactors on the suit, like the movie hulkbuster has. I saw some trailer accurate statuette which had arc reactors on each calf, elbow and some additional on the back - that might be great feature for your suit aswell.

Make ultron. That would be sick!!!!!
Bet you could use a similar method to make a killer "Aliens" power loader.
at least you know the shoulder plating can protect you from the ceiling
Looks good! For the ergonomic part: Couldn't you make some brackets (like the ones on your shoulders) to brace your legs at some place? Just so that you'll be "wearing" the suit more than "carrying" it. Also, I suggest something similar around your waist. I'm thinking about something like on those trekking backpacks: straps around the waist (in addition to the ones on the shoulders). It should redistribute the weight on your lower back and make it easier to carry. Otherwise nice work as always! :-)
Wow I really want him to finish this
Awesome
that's cooooooooollllllllll
Great looking mechanisms for everything so far. I does look a little odd, though, almost as if the legs need to be longer or the arms smaller. I get the impression of a gorilla walking about when you were moving it about. For the legs, would something like a hose clamp work for your legs? I'm not finding any pictures for reference, but a little more than U-shaped bracket that you press your leg into at the thigh and below the knee. That would give you more leg "feeling" while allowing you to just pull your leg free without needing releases or anything. I'm not sure if I'm explaining that well enough or not.
Every video you explain "chemical weld", you should have a link in the description of every video instead of explaining it. And when you commenting the chemical weld there could be an text that refers to that link!
James I know that this may require some reconstruction but you should make it so you can wear your iron man suit while comfortably inside the suit so you can present them both
There was a bit of genuine worry as the thing came free and you started walking, but it's really cool to see it moving as one piece again. I know feet cosmetics are probably a ways off, but I'm curious what you'll do for them, knowing that the toe catches. I'm assuming it wouldn't be good to extend a boot out unless it angles up in the front. :/
it is taking shape and looking more like the ones from the trailer. never mind the negative comments there just ashamed that you are so talented and there not. i wish i had skills and talent like you. # i am jealous. from Ned aged 12
madness :)
Excellent work! Very creative! Considering a good majority of moving parts for your builds are custom, do you make a set of duplicate parts just in case damage/failure? Nothing like having a great build to show and a custom part breaks before the show.
James the doors look great, but as far back as you have the calf coming out wont it wind up binding on the upper leg with how far forward the knee pivot is? It just seems like the calf needs to be sucked a bit more in, or the knee pivot needs relocated more rearward.
when you are finished with it you should take it to comicon
James you sould put the glass that you can see throu one side but the not the other for the helmet
Never skip leg day
You should install front and rear airbags. Just incase.
