Bekkensten has also been working on a War Machine costume. Both constumes were made out of fiberglass and plastic. John and his friend strolled around London in the suites, stunning (and maybe scaring) every person they walked by.

Real Life Iron Man Suits
Norway native John Bekkensten is a well-known sculptor who has had pieces featured in Gladiator, Braveheart, Robin Hood, and countless other movies. But when he wasn’t working on professional projects, Bekkensten was hard at work on his Iron Man outfit.

Sending the iPhone Into Space
A father and son from Brooklyn, New York sent an iPhone into the stratosphere a few weeks ago to record a video of the earth's curvature.
The two spent eight months researching and testing their homemade craft, which was made of a weather balloon and a styrofoam case for the iPhone, before launching in Newburgh, NY.
The phone apparently braved winds of 100 miles-per-hour and temperatures as cold as 60 below zero (the iPhone was smartly packed with hand warmers).
The recorded video shows the phone reaching a height of 100,000 feet before the balloon burst, plummeting the contraption back to earth, where it landed 30 miles from the launch point, in a tree, where the father and son found it in the dark because of the iPhone's LED light.
