Durban youngster creates fully functional Iron Man suit of armour

Inspired by the Marvel comic book character and genius inventor Tony Stark who created mechanized suits of armour to defend Earth, an Escombe resident is hoping to leave his mark on the world.
Keanu Rust has created a made-to-measure, real-life Iron Man suit complete with functioning weapons.
The design incorporates a shoulder cannon invoking the imagery of another Marvel character, War Machine.
The 21-year-old has also named his company Rust Industries, a homage to the Stark Industries comic book counterpart.
Over the course of three years, Keanu helped design, build, mould, weld, cast and create the suit of armour using carbon fibre and aluminum.

Well done bru! That is an impressive suit you made. Hope to see succeed and bring more hope to Zaffas just like the boks!

Awe, keep the dream alive dude.

I was told that having shoulder mounted weapons was a bad idea because the blasts would cause deafness.
