Iron Man lookalike at ARISIA
Unfortunately Iron Man's costume is hard for a fan to replicate (can't just run all that armor through the sewing machine). But some clever fan at the ARISIA science fiction/fantasy writers conference did a nice job of replicating RDJ's 'workshop' attire from the IM1 mech-tech scenes right down to a credible looking arc reactor glowing peacefully from under the shirt. Kid was cute, too. Looked enough like RDJ to be a temptation for those of you who might be single. Unfortunately ... he also looked to be around 16 years old. That would rule out many who peruse the IM fanverse :-)
On a lighter note, I got to Batman who WAS in credible looking armor. Oh ... and take a lightsabre fencing lesson with a Sith Lord (or more accurately, Sith Lady ... a very well-costumed Sith Lady). Gotta get me one of those (the lightsabre ... not the Sith Lady ... not that I have anything against Sith Ladies ... it's just that this year I made a point of not making the amateur blunder of stumbling into the Robert Heinlin Polyamory/BDSM classes because that's not my persuasion!)
