2 Years, 20 Kilograms And 100 Parts Make Paper Man Into Iron Man
Every person has his or her superhero but most keep it in heart.
However, 27-year-old Chen Yingxin from Lecong Town in Foshan City of south China’s Guangdong Province spent two years to live ‘alive’ his superhero by making for himself a life-size Iron Man suit.
Many social media users have marveled at it as it almost exactly resembles the Iron Man on silver screen.
Chen currently works with a bank but he has been a superhero buff since his childhood. At his home, he has a rich collection of Iron Man figures.
In 2014, he began putting together an Iron-Man-like suit with yoga mat materials bought online. He spent nearly six months and finally made such.
However, after putting it on, his friends began calling him ‘Paper Man’ due to the poor effect.
After this, Chen upgraded the input materials by adding fiberglass and resin to make the suit harder. He also designed in an electronic circuit to bring in light effect to the suit.
Finally, by putting together more than a hundred parts, he completed the Iron Man armor suit weighing about 20 kilograms. Now he becomes the center of attraction wherever he goes wearing the suit.
So where is Tony Stark?
