Making the perfect Spidey suit

[Germanspider]

@SMY: I will... i will... :)
And i will answer your mails the next days... lot to do the last days at home.

@All: I don´t know, if i can make pics of the premiere... cause i will enjoy the hype alone... none of my friends are here on this day. So nobody could take some pics from me.
But may be some guy from the newspaper will be there...
We will see...

Try taking your cam with you. I wished I had mine the night I went. There were lots of people taking pics with me. One girl tried to do the kiss scene but with a peck thru the mask. *lol* :spidey:

[Germanspider]

Hi Blaze... sure... i will take my cam with me.
But i´ve thought about another problem... same problem like spidey always have it:
Where to put my money and other things?
You now... no pockets in the costume... :)

Well Martin what you can do is, get a small camera bag to haul the camera in and also it should have a place for you to zip up your money as well. That is what I did when I was around in suit.

Hi guys,
This is Brin from The Brotherhood of the Bat costume and prop board.:batman:
I'm starting on my Venom costume and I was wanting to make the skin of the suit look like it's swirling, or flowing, some type of texturing process. I was think either brushing latex over the suit, or painting it in swirls and basically just going nuts all over it with black fabric paint. I really don't want a smooth spandex look. What do you think?
-Brin the Spiderbat

how wuld u do venoms face? latex mold? they have a really cool venom mask over at hauntedplanet.com
http://www.hauntedplanet.com/images/Venom.jpg

[dorcphish]

Brin, I have a suggestion for your textured venom costume. I too am from the brotherhood of the bat page and have tried many different materials to make a batsuit. Because I'm only 18 and have limited means of income, I tried cheap alternatives such as poster board, foam craft sheets and things like that. I once did up a complete muscle suit in paper mache that looked really cool but didn't have the smooth appearance that I wanted for batman. Here's what I suggest. Make the suit out of paper mache and sand it a little. This will give it a smooth appearance with inperfections and some rough spots. You can even run the sand paper in swirling directions if you want that look. Then, coat it with polyurethane to waterproof it and make a mold of it. pour latex into the mold and you have yourself a textured body suit. For the mask, I suggest making it two peices. Do the full head and upper jaw and then cast the lower jaw seperate. That way, you can open and close the mouth and keep the overall look of venom.

What method of construction are you using? Is it a spandex suit or some other deal? If you need any help with anything, just let me know. I'm usually pretty good at figuring these things out ( If you're willing to take advice from a guy who once super glued his hand to a piece of plexiglass. lol ) My e-mail is dorcphish@hotmail.com

[peterparker0077]

hey brin, you were at dragoncon right? i was cyclops! good luck with the venom suit, if you use a latex mask, black spandex pvc will match right up with the latex, and easy to paint on swirls too.

[Wildelros]

PeterParker007.....Tell me that was you in that Blue suite with a big White X on the front with with rubber boots at Dragoncon?

[SpiderAce]

Just wondering guys and girls , if anyone is close to Massachusetts, I would love to meet up with some of ya and hang out , Just wondering
Thanks

:spidey: hi guys, i came across a brilliant product in my local hobby shop, a 3d fabric paint that is so easy to use for 3d webbing and looks exactly like the movie suit, its called jones tones, for use on stretch fabrics, it comes in hundreds of colours
i used the gloss black but i am currently testing a pearlessent black wich looks black but turns silver in a certain light just like spidey! this stuff is not the puffy paint its way better than that and its only £2.40 a bottle, wich was enough for two masks!!
theres also dylon 3d wich is very similar but a bit thicker and the bottle is a sod to use you only get half the amount for 50p more as well!

I guess I can Answer for PeterParker0077, Well yes that was him Wildelros. I saw the pic of him in his Cyclops suit. Actually I went to visit him in Florida when I was on vacation there a few months ago. Really nice Family. His room (Well I wont get into that)- I am not all that neat myself:D But it is like a shrine for any comic book fan, or martial artist. "A true hero, I think he is , hoohoohoohoo", As Master Jedi Yoda might say.

If you guys ever get a chance to meet PeterParker0077 in person, believe me he will make you believe in real down to earth superheros. I just hope to get some where near his level someday. His commitment to what he does, I just can put into finer words. "Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his is the most Superhero.":) - A little mix from James T. Kirk in Star Trek 2:The Wraft of Khan, when they were saying good bye to the honored dead (MR. Spock)

[spidergeek]

Hi! my name is Sam. I've admired all of your work ever since I found this forum. I am starting work on my very own costume(don't worry, I don't "borrow" anything [even ideas] unless I get permission from the person first.) that will be a sort of cross between spidey unlimited, spidey 2099, and the movie. ANY tips you guys could give( eye material especialy) would be greatly appriciated.

P.S. I am only 14 and was unemployed 2 years ago, keep that (have less than $100!!) in mind when you post tips.:spidey:

P.P.S. my computer is'nt exactly up to speed so any pics to make me jealous of anyone talent will have to be sent to me directly @ DAVDSAK@cs.com:venom:

running out of P.S.'s any patterns for spidey suits would help greatly( so far I've just gone one step at a time).

[Germanspider]

Welcome Spidergeek... nice to have somebody younger in here... :D
That´s said by an old man... like me... :)
100$ is not very much... but it´s ok to start.
I wish i could find a pic of my first spidey-costume... made when i was about 12... it would now look terrible... but when i was twelve... hey... it was cool.
On my private homepage you can find a pic of my sm-mask in gallerie I.
Ok... all for the moment... have to work a little bit...

Well guess I can Let the Cat out of the Bag......Awhile back I won the Wizard Magazine costume contest With a odd Super Hero , thats a thorn In Batmans Batbutt called The Creeper. !!!! HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!Any one remember me ?

[LarTheLad]

Its been awhile but I'm still around watching the work of others. Im so jealous of everyone who has a talent to make a costume. Yes wild I do remember you posting something on one the forums, of that Creeper Costume. You had a Captian America that didn't look to bad either. Pete0077, I can do backfilps in water, but I'm still am practicing to get it right. To all who know me, I'm now down to 307 pounds from 327 pounds back in April. I'm working on being a better spiderguy before I get the perfect spidey suit. It a challenge I never thought i could follow thru with. I making and keeping with it, Day by Day and Month By Month. Mick I hope things are well with you and hope you get some time out of your hetic schedule to say Hi.

Hey that quote works for me Lars:D

And PeterParker0077, hey you deserved those comments, I rightfully gave them to you because you are my motivation that gets me through the tough days, and keeps me going on the rode to my dreams:)

Also Yetter, and Mike are like my big brothers, you two have been there for me also as I was going through some itchy corporate stuff. But all is right at the moment, still kicking butt in the gym, and now entering the phase of my semi-bodybuilder Competion dieting next week. D*mn I hate that part:mad: The Gym is bad enough :D But all in all, everything that I am doing has a higher purpose, and I plan to follow through.

[spidergeek]

LarTheLad,
my grandpa says that this thing called a 3 day diet [it only takes 3 {repeat 3} days;)]lost him eight pounds (don't worry, you still eat)have you tried something like that? I'll post the details tomorrow. But first... the weather... tonight will be cloudy with a chance of sheep... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:cool:

[LarTheLad]

SpiderGeek, Im gonna tell you right now for my body, rushing the weight loss doesnt help me. My body is just set a certian way that quick for me, also means gain of weight. I have alot of time to learn that mistake. I'll talk to you personally when I get a chance. To those of you who want eye ideas, I think the white mesh idea is cool and some of the eyewear on ebay also gives a good idea on how the eyes should look. I also know in the how to on Germanspider's site he has a step by step process to make the eyes. Also at http://members.aol.com/mzw8/mw8spidey.com where the designer is using a charcol gray fine mesh for the eyes. they really look good as well for a costume. I have no idea how to make a mask but i think someone mention something a couple of pages ago. So I think there is plenty of info on this paticualr thread for how to do the eyes.

May be, you should aks me? :)

Ok... how i did it:
First mark the webbing with thin (3mm) adhesive tape. After that draw the web with a thin pen.
Afterwards remove the tape, mix the liquid latex and apply it carefully. You have to work really carefully... one mistake with the latex and you can ruin your costume.

@All: I´ve received a lot of mails with questions about the white stuff i´ve used for the eyes. I can´t find any exact description about it.
I have simply gone to a hobby shop and have looked. Then in the shelves for the Window Color accessories I found something. A little bit milky plastic film... approx. 2-3 mms thickly. I have found the material for the black rim of the eye and the spider in an office-shop. Simply a black desk pad. The foam material at the back remove and cut.

Hope this help anybody...

[mickmike]

Hey All,

Jeez,why did the movie makers have to use raised webbing!!!????


Goddamn it.

[Germanspider]

Because:
1. It looks cool
2. It looks modern
3. If the don´t... what should we discuss about? :D

[mrj]

http:// if anyone is interested in web shooters there a real cool pair for sale on e-bay i typed in spiderman costume into ebays search engine and there on page 2 of 3 check em.

[spidergeek]

Thanks Germanspider. I'm so stupid, I haven't set foot in a hobbby store since I realised my optical problem in the suit.
to LarThe Lad: I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but you'll get to your goal before you know it. :)
to all: one thing I,ve forgotten: I don't have any means of posting pics of my costume once I have some progress but while I'm at my uncle's later this summer I'll see if I can get some pics:spidey:

[LarTheLad]

Spidergeek, I appreciate you wanting to help and you dont have to be sorry. I just didn't want to drag to much of my weight loss journey onto this thread too much. You know just an update for my friends every once in awhile. Unless Mick and others really want to see that happen on this thread. I mean this thread is too talk more about making a perfect spidey suit. I'm glad for this thread too, keeps my Spidey dreams somewhat alive. All I can do really is suggest ways of finding info on how to make the costume. I got to be honest and say that I'm going to for sure let someone else, make me the perfect spidey suit. I do not have the neccasary talent to make it myself. Email me though at Lsqard916@aol.com and let me know if your on Yahoo or AOL, would just love to chat. I do thank everyone for there help so far in wanting to help me. So don't give up on that and I won't either. I think My doctor and I have the whole health situation under control for now. and I think I got an idea of who to turn to, when the time comes to having a suit made for me. If I do get somewhere stuck along the line, I have plenty of real and online friends, I can talk to about things.

bye:spidey: :venom: :spidey: :venom: :spidey:

[Germanspider]

@Lar: See... we are both working on our body now.
You will loose some weight and i have to work for more muscles to fill my next costume more like spidey.
I´m still looking for a good gym... but last time i´ve tried a gym was about 4 years ago... the last time, i had enough money for it. :)
Now i have again some money for a gym... but it´s always a little bit boring to be there alone... less motivation... but i hope, i will find a good gym, enough time and enough motivation to look like spidey whenn Part II comes out in about 697 days. :D

Martin
PS: May be, i can see something on my body this halloween... if i work really hard on it.

[spidergeek]

saw movie and have assembled a six word conclusion based on my own opinions:
good movie, sweet costume, bad casting:P
redesigned details to costume hybrid will look much cooler than first many designs
desided on black mesh for eyes, 2 resones: 1) brings out spidey2099's eye outline 2) it's so original
thinking to self i wonder how many people pon this board count spidey clones at night instead of sheep? no reply expected.
Good night everybody! I'll... just rest my eyes alittle......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well Martin you can always turn to me, Yetter, Mike, or PeterParker0077 for the work-out tips of the day:hulk: We wont try to hurt you too bad;) , but there shall be some pain that you will have to go through, but I have known you long enough, and I know you will follow through. I have a good amount of faith in you.

And you know what? That last post I put up, it was late at night and I forgot to put you on the comment of the brotherhood I share with Peterparker0077, Yetter, and Mick. You have also been there for me. My Bad:( For some reason I felt as though I was forgetting someone, but that is what happens when you are up late at night. It's called delayed intelligence:D

[Germanspider]

Thanx SpidEMC... i hope, i will find a good gym the next days...

@All:
Yesterday i´ve seen the movie the third time... this time with a non spidey-fan. But he asked me something, that i was wondering about, when i´ve seen the movie first time.
Is there any 24 hour superhero-costume rental or something else? :)
I mean... Peter decided to be a hero and the next day, he has a great costume... like Mike said... It´s magic...
His costume was damaged in the fight in the burning house... whops... next day it´s ok.
The last fight with the goblin... totaly damaged...
Next day... swinging around...
If anybody could give me the adress of this costume-shop for superheros, i would be very happy... :D

[spidermanUK]

perhaps it wasnt the next day,also i have a question dont know if anyone has asked ,on the vid for sum 41 song it shows scenes where he is after uncle bens killer but instead of him bein in the wrestlin costume it is in the full spidey suit,has anyone else noticed this?

[Germanspider]

I have to tell you something:
Today i got a shower. While washing my perfect body (*lol*)
i saw a little blue/red spider at the wall. I´ve turned around,
taking a towel... at this moment it bites me... after 2 hours i woke
up and looked in the mirrow... couldn´t believe it... a perfect
costume. Thats the secret... the body produced the costume...
and now... look what i can do now:

Yep... that scene was in the trailer. Just to show the swinging around... it really looks cool.
But in the movie it was changed. It was in his first days beeing a hero and it wouldn´t beleivable, if he could do such a perfect jump.

:D hi spidergeek nice to see the young blood getting involved
if its a mask pattern you need check out dorcphishes pattern making tip a page or so back, its a realy good method that works
very well, as for eye material for the eye lenses here are a couple of cheap tips, for white lenses try using the fine aluminium screen material(available at car accesorie shops, you will find it near the filler etc.) cut it to the shape you want then give it a brush with gloss white acrylic paint, making sure not to block the holes in the screen, sew or glue or both to your eye surrounds. the surrounds can be made of many different things from p.v.c , felt, or something i really like is black flock fablon sewn to the spandex.
alternatively you could rip the lenses out of a suitable pair of glasses for the mirror look, there are much better materials you could use, but these are the cheapest i could think of.:spidey:

hey wild, yeah i remember seeing ya! will you be at dragoncon this year? i will be there in the red and blue an hope fully the black and white! along with daredevil and the punisher!

hey emc, tried any back flips yet? how was the spidey appearance?

[spidergeek]

thank you mrj I really like that kind of straight forward answer. I made the head cast ( that's what it looks like too) and learnd some VERY important things
1) never, NEVER use masking tape instead of ductape
2) come to think of it, use only ductape
3) make absolutly positive you can take it off w/out surgury

today I looked at patterns for my costume (the only one they had close enough was a laidies unitard, please dont comment[ but feel free to, i need some humor about this one;)])( if one of you have a better idea i'd love to hear it) I'll just have to be a little creative w/ the gloves & boots also all my detail patterns are done( it looks nifty ;))
it's gettin there.

Have a spandex suit made.

www.spandexwear.com

They can make a variety of suits, and even have some costume packages available.

I really like the "courst jester" they have on there. Where else would you find a better Harley Quinn costume?

[spidergeek]

not to sound rude CATo9TAILS but I have a really tight budget (less than $100!):spidey:

[LarTheLad]

Martin I thank you for taking a look at my photos and thanks for kind compliments. I also have to say Martin, that I'm very impressed with your new photos and the costume is still looking great. I'm still scratching my head, trying to figure out how you did them. It really makes me believe in Spidey after all. Lately, I've been kind of planning things out this week. I'm making sure going to do, when I get back into the routine at the gym. I'm still getting in my daily walks, so theres no worries as of right now. Martin, it sometimes help if you take a few stucture classes at the gym. Even getting an appointment with a personal trainer. I know at my gym, they have a wide variety of activities available thru sturctured classe. Although, it would be even cooler to have a friend or a Spiderfriend join you at the gym. I also want to make sure my schedule doesnt get too interupted, so i can keep the walking and the workouts at the gym with some consistancy. I want to continue to keep things going in the right direction for me. I also don't know how many are in this so called botherhood, but I do agree that pete0077, spideremc, yetter and mick are the are sort of the core group. I wonder how you get to join this so called brotherhood.

Well you know I will be at Dragon Con, but with a little surprise to go into the convention with. The back flip thing I still have to try out, just working on doing splits at the moment. Getting a little wider each day, but man it can hurt. But all worth it. And my showing will not be until next coming Saturday. I will send you some pics.

P.S. Martain Awesome pics you posted there:spidey:

Yeah, those things can get VERY expensive VERY quickly. I was considering just making my own but I can't really sew, so I don't really have many other options. I think it's so cool that you're taking the time (and talent) needed to totally construct your own suit:spidey:

[spidergeek]

thank you CATo9TAILS, I consider myself somwhat of a klutz at sewing but I m told i m very good( i took 3 years of home ec)( and its not very frustrating to me for some reason:rolleyes: )

"but I do agree that pete0077, spideremc, yetter and mick are the are sort of the core group. I wonder how you get to join this so called brotherhood."

hey, if you are on this board you are in the "brotherhood". no special initiation required. hehe

[mickmike]

Brotherhood.?..OK..Cool.


I know Ive been absent from costume making for a while but tomorrow I begin again...

A spider-man comic version for myself and a duplicate copy for Yetter(for use on a secret project which you guys will be the first I reveal it to)
And also a Spider-girl..yep you heard me!The stunning May parker!

I'll post regular shots starting tomorrow,

Mike

[SpiderManYetter]

Looks like we got the fires stoked on this costume thread once again! I've started a movie version guys that hopefully all will be impressed. I'll be posting the "in process" pics as we go.... As for this project the Mick mentioned earlier. It will be extremely cool.extremely COOL!

[SpiderManYetter]

Hey guys... a few of you have been PM'ing me and I get the e-mail from Hype, but as soon as I try to retreive the message it says my inbox is empty. I'm not being an a$$ & ignoring you, just can't get your messages. Try e-mailing me at 2mbraidr@msn.com.

Ah... you mean the pics?
Uhm... just my little secret... :D

Ok... just take everything out of your room... turn around the posters at the wall... put a light on the floor and take the pics.
After that... turn around the pics... :)

@All: Hey.. a brotherhood? Cool... do i have to do some special tests for it? ;)

@Mickmike&SMY: What the hell are you planing this time? :) I´m sure... it will be amazing... can´t wait to see pics...

[SpiderManYetter]

@All: Hey.. a brotherhood? Cool... do i have to do some special tests for it? ;)

Oh boy what the heck did I start? I should have said more like a motivation type thing. I really did not want to single people out, that is the way I feel about these 4 people. Yetter, Martin, MickMike, and Peterparker0077 help me to strive to become more than I am. I was just recognizing them is all.

If a Brotherhood thing has to be established I dont know what you would have to do to qualify. And I dont want to blurt anything out because I dont want people to feel seperated on this thread. I am just a little kid on the block is all, the others are veterians.

[SpidEMC]

I hope you guys like this Picture. I just hope to God that it shows up right, and not some little white box with a red 'X' in it:D

All Right :daredevil Sweet it worked:spidey:

Thanks for the assistence Martin, I owe you one:cool:

Oh and just so you guys know this was taken in Orlando Fl. about a couple months ago.

[LarTheLad]

I thought someone or there was mention of some kind a brotherhood. I guess I was wrong and didn't want to start any trouble for this thread. I just was trying to find a way to include myself somehow on the making a perfect spidey costume thread. I just want to feel included and I'm trying to make this thread survive. I also enjoy the new pic SpidEMC. Its awesome to see you again. :spidey: I'm sure youl'l contiune to make things happend for this thread. That also goes for Mick, Yetter, pete0077, martin and possible a couple of others who's names i didnt mean to forget to mention. :spidey: So let me know how I can be helpful with this thread. :)

Where was that picture taken? I live just outside orlando myself?

[Germanspider]

Hey Lar... you don´t have to worry about anything.
You ARE in this thread...
Everybody who´s talking about making a costume or is giving tips to the newbies is IN this thread and keep it alive.
Especially you Lar... you are on your way to get a body for a costume... so why should you not be in the thread?

@All: I have received some new pics of new guys with costumes. As soon i will have more webspace, you will see the pics... cool pics... on the costume site.

Ok... i´m on work in the moment... have to go on.

That picture was taken in a hotel room, Holiday Inn and suites, right in front of the enternce to Universal Studios :D

Oh and Larz you did not make trouble, it's okay dude. But that brotherhood thing was just, I dont know, lets just say if you contribute to the thread then you are part of the brotherhood. Pics, Comments-(Supportive comments that is.) Providing information that may be of importance to others, And my fun part is the fitness deal, and pics. Dealing with construction of a suit is out of my realm of things, but I do have my own ideas for my new type of suit ;)

But you should all remember this, if you are here and you are posting the things that I have mentioned above, then you are indeed part of the Brotherhood. Those are the standards that I shall back up on the statements I made about the Brotherhood on this Thread. But Mick is in charge of this show, this is just my own opinon. If you have sat back and have not really posted anything then I say you need too. Dont be shy here. If you visit this thread and you want to be part of the Brotherhood I mentioned then you can't be shy about posting. We need this thread to be the shining light in this hero-hype site.:spidey:

[mickmike]

Hey all,

Glad to see the forum is busy again.

I spent most of today cutting the fabric and applying weblines for my new suit.
What I wanna ask is how indepth do people wanna see pics?Do you wanna see cut pieces of fabric as STAGE 1??

Keep they webs untangled!

Mike

[mickmike]

http://www.photo.net/photodb/image-display?photo_id=814220&size=md

Actually..that aint stage 1.

Stage 1: BUYING FABRIC.

Stage 2: DECIDING ON WHICH VERSION/DESIGNING WEBPATTERN ETC

Stage 3: APPLYING WEBPATTERN.

Stage 4: CUTTING FABRIC.

[CATo9TAILS]

I've noticed a lot of talk about "getting in shape" for their costume. I've always exercised somewhat before I even thought about getting a costume. I used to do the treadmill and weights thing, but due to health reasons I had to stop running. I find what works great is a combo of Yoga and Pilates. Just buy one or two videos from Wal-Mart or Target, get a mat or the likes of, and do it in your living room. I find the best thing about these exercises is 1) if you stick to it, you can see results in as little as a week 2) the Yoga greatly increases flexibility 3) it does have aerobic sequences, so it burns fat 4) it works to build muscle TONE, this means no big, bulky, movement restricting muscles

If you ask me, the results are perfect fro anyone who is an aspiring wall-crawler:spidey:

So, can I start my own Sisterhood?

:spidey: :spidey: :spidey:

[CATo9TAILS]

Oh yeah, and on the subject of exercise, I forgot to say swimming. Swimming is also an excellent way to burn fat and develop lean, lithe muscles.

[SuperHeroFan]

Anyone know where I can get a costume similar to the one in the film? If you make them or know someone who does please let me know. (is Mick on this board anymore? His test mask looked great!) I live in NYC.

[mrj]

Hi all, glad to hear dorcphishes tips worked for you too spidergeek, heres another tip you may want to consider for really cool looking eyes, you can get motorcycle helmet "visor strips" from motorcycle accessorie shops they come in packs of 2 or 3 for about 9-10 pounds thyre like a thin plastic that can be easily cut to shape and best of all they come in chrome, gold chrome (really sets off the red in the mask) and a really funky blue chrome, you get enough for a good few lenses/eyepieces and they are cheap.:rolleyes:

[Germanspider]

A question to you all:
Did anybody received today a mail from me withe the actual KLEZ-Virus in it?
I´ve just received a mail from anybody, that told me, that he received a mail from my account with the virus at 1 PM today.
I´m still in wonder... cause i was at work at this time and can´t send mails from my private account Martin@Gogulski.de

Please... check your computer for viruses.

Okay sister CATo9TAILS:D To make this more of a correct gender thing, Lets say we call it the SPIDERHOOD :spidey:

And to talk about sisterhood, and brotherhood stuff, has anyone seen the Brotherhood of Wolves. I seen it and I thought it was rather interesting. (I know this is a little off the subject, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has seen this movie.)

I loved it!! Of course, the coolest part was the dagger-fan contraption. The special effects look like ones from the early 90's, but one has to keep in mind that it is a French film;)

I think Spider-Woman III had a silverish/bluish costume. Then again, she had many costumes. Blech.

[LarTheLad]

Hey mick, to bad that new pic of yours, doesn't show on thread. Although contiune to do your good secret work for whoever your doing it for. I like the idea of a Spiderhood, SpidEMC. Im sure I'll get to that point of being a show off, like some of you other spiders. It also makes it nice to have a spiderhood, so we can include CAT into the hood. Nice to have a girl on this thread posting. Maybe we can get pics of other versions of costumes on this thread too. Anyway Im glad things are well for all of us.

"With Great Internal and External Power, Will Come A Person Of Great Heart And Responsibility."

[CATo9TAILS]

Just curious, has anyone attempted any villains, or Spidey allies?

I know I've seen the Black Cat. As for villains, all I've really seen is the GG at Universal, which I have pics of if anyone wants to see.

[webslinger922]

Hey Cat, Of course we' like to see the pics. Do you need somebody to host them for you?

[CATo9TAILS]

Sure, I'll email them to whomever wants to put them up:)

yeah Catz, your right That was a nice weapon there. They should have more unique weapons used in today's movies, with all the special effects capablities we have now a days. Also nice pics you took there at Universal Studios. I have some shots also when I was there. I will post them when I get a chance :)

Also Larz just keep plugging away dude I know that you will hit your goal before you know it:D

[SpiderManYetter]

Great pics Cat!

Hey did anyone notice that Spidey was a little "top-heavy" in those shots? My GOD man, do some squats!... seriously, that looks like a muscle suit, anyone know?

Hello all.....I am Ready to post the making of my version of the Spider-man movie costume. I logged it as I made it with pictures. Can any of you web heads support my Pictures?

A friend of mine show up here today with a suprize. He told me " you gotta see this and ask me to hold the box and guess whats in it? It wasn't that heavy , But I guessed it. As I open it ..There it was in all its Red ,Black and Chrome glory.

The Spider-man Bust by Mike Hill !!!!!!!! Its Enormous!!!!

and the Craftmen shipp is Beautiful !! My Favorite part is the stitching on the mask and how Mike Sculpt the ears to make it look as if the fabric is really tight around Peter's Head .

If you are a True Spider-man fan this is the piece to end all pieces

Mike and Alex did John Romita Pround. It was very refreshing seeing this Bust sence ever where you look now its the Movie Spider-man style.
But then I fround and ask my friend......

" Where,s Mine?"

[peterparker0077]

blaze, you live outside orlando? i live in tampa, lets meet up some time.

can wait to see what is coming!

[imurme]

...just wanted to let you know that if you need a host for pics that I am still here for you, meaning I can put them up for you (as I've done before)...I am WAY interested in your making of pics...just send to me at imurme@aros.net and I'll get them up for you :)

...also if others here need some pics hosted (hint...hint Mike, I too cannot see your pics) I'd be willing to help out any on this...it's my small way of contributing to this great forum, and I learn so much from all you great costume artists ;)

Yeah parker0077. Actually right in kissimmee.

[mickmike]

This makes NO sense?

I can see the pic clear as day.I post pics on other sites this way.Im baffled.

Cheers Imurne,Ill send it to you from now on.


Wilderos,Your friend has the bust already?Huh,I havent recieved any comps yet.What was the packaging like?

Mike

[DeathChill]

Yo mike could you send a few of the pics to Kylemaynard@shaw.ca or use like angelfire host or hypermart so everyone can see? :D

Blaze you will be amazed when you see PeterParker0077, I have been to his place first hand. What a great personality this guy has, his girl friend is really great, and his Family is off the hook :D

I will enjoy meeting PeterParker0077 once more at Dragon Con.,and with a new type of suit as well.:eek:

[Wildelros]

Wilderos,Your friend has the bust already?Huh,I havent recieved any comps yet.What was the packaging like?

Mike [/B][/QUOTE]



Well, he brought it over in an office depot box, I did not get a chance to see what it came in box art and all, but it was in cased in a Positive and Negative foam modeled for the bust protection. Saw some of the Writing embossed beneath it though. Marvel entertainment, Dynamic forces, Alex Ross, Mike Hill, John Romita, and numbers. His dad owns a Comic book store in New Orleans. I guess its a promotional piece he had received from Dynamic Forces. I guess he's Tight with them? Do you have the Original sculpt?

Once more It Truly is an Amazing Spider-man. It Had your Hands all over it! CHEERS!!!!!!! My Friend.

[mickmike]

"The Hill is alive with the Hands of Gold",!!??LOL

Wilderos you are crazy but entertaining!

I dont have the original sculpt,i have the mold but the original was done in water clay,so its dries out after a period.BTW I will be attending Chicago WizardWorld,along with Yetter.

For everyone elses information,when you look at Wilderos costumes you can see immediatly that he has his own unique vision of these characters.His key word is "texture",well the guy has that quirky,unconventional side to him in person(not sure if quirky is the right word).Sorta reminds me of Michael Keatons performance in BATMAN 89,in the scene where he first meets Kim Bassinger at the party.Y'know his head seems muddled cuz hes gots tons of information and ideas swirling around in there,well that Wilderos.At last yrs WizardWorld he a group of friends with him who were also wearing his costumes,we went out to dinner (with our good friend David Williams)and had a great time.(they had removed their costumes by this point!)

Ok...my costume.As Ive said before this will be a costume based on the comic book version.Romita/Ross to be exact.No fancy eyes,no muscle texture just plain old red and blues.BRIGHT red and DARK blue.

I posted the Invisible pic(!?)to imurne(what a kind humanitarian he is!)It doesnt show much,just pieces of cloth,but its a start.As soon as I get the basic body suit together I'll whip up some more shots.


Anyway,

gotta run.Im working on a Green Goblin lifesize bust today(companion piece to the Spiderman).Who would have thought the long haired little kid who never liked football(heaven forbid!) would be paid to create Superheroes when he eventually grew up(?)??THWWWIIIIIIPPPPPPP.

[SpiderManYetter]

This Goblin piece will ROCK!!

[mrj]

in response to superhero fans question on where to get a decent movie suit check out http://members.aol.com/mzw8spidey.htm the spandex used in their movie suit even has the honeycomb pattern. they also do a symbiote suit for $150.

[mrj]

if the last link dosent work try typing margaret waite athletic designs into your search engine, its well worth it.

[webslinger922]

Hey Mick & Spiderman Yetter, Im glad to hear you are both attending the Chicago Con. Is anybody else from the brotherhood planning on going? Im planing on being there this year, Hopefully the weather will be nice so I can ride the bike. I Haven't figured out where im going to stay yet. Maybe we can all hook up and go out for drinks. The more I hear about the spiderman bust Mick sculpted, The more I check the porch for a package. Can't wait to see the goblin bust, Glad to hear your in the final stages. :cool:

[peterparker0077]

thanks again EMC, cant wait to see ya at dragoncon.

Mike and Yetter, glad to hear you will be at chicago, what days? i had plan to be going but it doesnt look to good now, (money thing), however i am going i'll have both my suits with me, just look for the guy fliping around and hanging from the ceiling.

[SpiderManYetter]

I know Mike & I will be meeting up Friday-Sunday for sure! If anyone's going, let us know so we can possibly hook up.....

[blaze269]

hmmmmmmmm, a bunch of costumes got stolen from the movie shoots....... i wonder where they have ended up?!?! ;)

[peterparker0077]

i think we should nail this F!@#ing bastard. he steals a costume, and then make 900 dollars of it, i dont think so.

[mrj]

ive just had a look on german spiders costume page at his 3d webbing, then taken a look at his self made suit on e-bay..mmm..
now call me suspicious but thats one hell of a jump in talent and technique, and if if i had a costume i'd made as perfect as that wouldnt i have it on my page as well as the very cool but not in the same league 3d paint one, the e-bay suit looks too perfect, and if you can afford to sell at £500-600 pounds too suspect!!
you really should either be working for james acheson and amalgamated dynamics or waiting for a call from the law, i really hope that is your own work, if it is get a job on the next movie
they need you.

May be a little missunderstanding... the postet auction is NOT mine. I´ve found it on ebay and thought about it.
I´m really thinking about sending it to sony.
MY auction is this:

[mrj]

many apologies german spider yeah i missunderstood and should have known better from this board, cool people all. do you think this may be a stolen suit? it looks too damn perfect, also in my post i wouldnt want you to think i was unimpressed by your suits, damn fine work, what i meant by inferior was just relative to the movie suit not your talents, which may i say are far superior to my own but i'm getting there.

[Germanspider]

Hey Mrj... no problem...
If i think, that´s a stolen costume? Uhm... no... i think, there is somebody who would like to make some money with a fake-pic.
I´m sure... 100 %... THIS pic is not from the costume, he´s selling... why?
Cause:
This is the pic on ebay:
http://abacus.sj.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_5f034a2eee5bdbc9ec5526b8f/i-1.JPG
This is a pic of the movie costume on my costume site:
http://spiderman.it-pc.de/Movie/movieframe/mov5/spiderone.jpg

Comparing this two pics... they are the same...

IMHO this guy is a faker, who didn´t own any costume.

A few feeks ago somebody tried to sell a costume on ebay... with pics of MY costume... they are always trying it again... :D

Martin

[webslinger922]

I saw the auction also, and it looks like a professional photo of either Toby or one of the stuntmen in the costume. I asked the seller if he has any pics that he took of the costume and if he'd email them to me, I haven't heard from him yet. If you also notice, the seller has a zero rating and only became an ebay member on june 5, 2002. What if this is an actual suit that was made for the movie and not one of the stolen ones? I've seen stuff sell for pennies on the dollar when the sale looked to good to be true, and I have also seen people get ripped off by false advertising. If he sends me some other pics that look like an amature took them I'll see that I get them on the site

[CATo9TAILS]

He has his email listed and says for any interested bidders to contact him for pics of the actual suit. Still...the movie pic he has posted is a bit misleading.

You know it is really a shame when people pull crap like this:mad:

I hope the winning bidder will not be ripped off, but if someone wanted to track this item on Ebay which has only 3 hrs left I would email that bidder that won, and see if he can provide us with pictures. All bidders and sellers are able to be contacted from Ebay. We all should mail the winner I say. I would be rather curious to see what the suit will look like, or even if the person will ever get it. :confused:

They probably won't get it as I HIGHLY doubt this guy has the actual movie suit.

[mickmike]

martin,the auction on ebay a couple of weeks ago with pics of your costume,are you saying you didnt give permission and it was all a lie?

Those thieving bastards!

did they auction get stopped?

Mike

[mickmike]

Hey guys,

The seller of the ebay costume ,COINCIDENTLY is one of the people who bidded on the auction which had false pictures of German spiders work.

Hmmm.Time to contact ebay

[mickmike]

I have a plan....

[peterparker0077]

alright, lets nail the frickin bastards!

[webslinger922]

Hey guys, and gals- I recieved an email from the seller of the costume. and guess what, It is not the movie costume. Here is text from his email
" This is a Spiderman movie type costume, A lot of time and research has gone into making this costume, it features the 3d webbing, the brick pattern, movie eyes, it has soles of the feet, I have yet seen a costume on ebay that look as good as this! (Don't mean to brag but I think its true!). The costume is made out of Lycra, it has 1 zip along the shoulders, which is very easy to get in/out of, and the costume has only been worn about twice, only for pictures. Now the size of the costume will fit anyone from about 5'8 downwards. "
I fowarded the complete letter to martin. It has some pics in it that i have seen before ( I dont remember where). Does anybody want me to send them the letter so they can post the pics of the real costume their selling. Thanks Lon

[mickmike]

Lon,can you post them to me ASAP,

at

mikehillart@hotmail.com,
ASAP please the auction is drawing to a close

[webslinger922]

Sorry Mick, I had to step away and I just got back. I'll foward the email to you anyway. Lon

Hello again, did anybody notice that the winning bidder on the the movie costume with the deceving photo had a zero feedback rating? I looked and they became an ebay member today. and that they only put in one bid, with only 31 seconds left on the auction. Doesn't this seem alittle strange! It seems like a little hanky panky is going on with this sale.

[webslinger922]

I just looked at Martin's site and it's his pics that they sent me. If we could have gotten the sooner we could have stopped this auction. I've contacted ebays safe harbor before and they need alittle more notice than one day to investigate.

[LarTheLad]

Wow that was a wild ride. I cant believe we've got a villian on the loose. But I'm glad to see things settle down. I feel like I let the Spiderhood down a bit though. I mean I too saw that realistic looking movie suit on Ebay. And I didn't think for a moment, that maybe it wasn't the real thing. I mean I sense something was wrong when the person selling it, didn't even bother to put the right pic up for it on ebay. I just didnt know how to go about letting ebay know. Also I didnt think it was worth mentioning, since I felt the suit just seemed a little fake. Not to say Webslingers comments dont deserve some merit. At least he has one pic of him on German's site in costume. I think he was watching for the welfare of the Spiderhood. I'll understand if I'm not as popluar now with you guys or I'm ousted out of the Spiderhood. Really up to mick, because I'm sure he's been busy and not ignoring me. I just wanted to let him know things are fine and weight maybe down, I'll know more . I mean all I do is talk anyway.

[mickmike]

Lar C'mon bro,gime a break..forget this brotherhood nonsense.

Webslinger..I sent you a private message..please reply

[LarTheLad]

Okay I'll do that mick. I was just liking the sound of it and it was a way of keeping things and people honest on this thread. Spidey wouldn't want it any other way. Dont take to much of my last message to heart. Just was under some evil transe for a moment and I fine now. Won't include quote for this message. mick will understand once he gets my other private messages.

[Germanspider]

Hi Webslinger,
thanx for the mail but i came home too late. The auction was closed.

But i had to send him a mail. Here is what i wrote:

Hi there,
i saw your auction of the spider-man costume on ebay and thought, i could send you a mail.
A friend of mine asked you for other pics of the costume and you´ve send them.
And... boy... oh wonder...
Did you really want to sell MY costume?
Can you tell me: When will you come to germany and get the costume and give me the money?

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK???

I´ll take care, that you will NEVER make an auction on ebay again.

Martin
aka GermanSpider
Owner of the costume...


And now i will write a mail to ebay...

Martin

[CATo9TAILS]

DAMN

You tell em Martin:D

[spidergeek]

I support that 500% Martin that guy(which I could call worse names but do not wish to lose my dignity over such an incompitent jerk!!![sorry, breeath 1,2,3,4 breeath 1,2,3,4])tryin to dot-charge for dot-squat with your pics!!:mad: :mad: :mad:
on a lighter note my spidey 2099, unlimited, & movie hybrid is going swell most of the detail work is done the base suit is almost ready to be stitched now if I could just find my needle...

[blaze269]

Man, see what happens when you work all day? I had seen and asked for pics also to no avail. This is very odd how it all went about. I have seen ebay stop other auctions too but I guess somebody didnt catch on to this one.

[SpidEMC]

Man I must say anyone that does foul play to the hero that we admirewill have to face this awesome group of people.:)

[blaze269]

I remember seeing Martins suit on ebay and I had a feeling it wasnt his. Before I could do anything about it the auction had been ended by e-bay. I had even emailed him and asked if it was him or not (Martin that is)

Anyone else given this guy a piece of their mind yet?:cool:

The guy answered me... here is what he wrote:


hi
martin, you know i shouldn't have to do something wrong to get an email from you but any way, i have used your costume pics but only to promote mine, im not a conman as most of you probably think there on the forum, i have many costumes in the making and can prove it to. i intend to deliver what the auction said i would, and the winners of the auction know the story about the costumes so i have not been misleading them. i did get caught which i was very carless, so im sorry for using your pictures and the trouble i put you ,blaze, mick, and larlar through . sorry again, i hope this solves it and i hope this inconvenience you will never be reminded off!

regards


Ok... we all should forget it now and go back to our daily work: Making the perfect spider suit

Martin

[Germanspider]

@Blaze:
Uhm... are you the one who... you know... my auction... :)

[peterparker0077]

who ever you are, you did not sell the highest bidder what you told them you sold, pictures are worth more than words, and you showed them pictures of the actual movie suit and martins suit, which you do not have, and made 900$ or what ever off it, this is called fraud and you can get you arrested for it. so are you gonna split the money with martin and anyone else you took ideas from? i think thats the least you can do.

[Germanspider]

Ok... out on the sea now... fantastic weather here...

Spider´s getting some sun...

Martin

[mrj]

whoever this rip off merchant is, i realy hope he gets whats coming to him, ripping off other peoples (german spider's or anyone elses) ideas and talent and plagarising them as your own is about as low as it gets! a lot of us on here aspire to making our own costumes etc which costs time money headaches and tears etc and to have some sleazy bastard steal your work ...i just hope no one loses any cash with this maggot.

[mrj]

now ive got that out of my system, back to the costumes....does anyone know of a good spandex supplier in the uk that has the appropriate colours needed for an alex ross spidey suit, at the moment ican only find one supplier and they only have a light weight spandex thats a touch too dark, its ok for test masks though. i really want the colours to be right and not make do with what i have at present. spidergeek hows that costume of yours coming along, hope its going well.

Martin,who is this guy?He obviously comes on here,cuz he mentions the forum and all our names?

If the person who sold the costume with Martins picture on EBay reads this..CMON explain to us all why you needed to use Martins pics,why you falsly claimed they were pics of your suit.

I dont expect a reply.

it is going very well now. at first i had problems with cutting such skinny patterns but thats worked out now. i think ive got all the stuff w/ boots and gloves and mask worked out but we shall see... i'm getting ready to cut the last of the details out now. also i'm about ready to cut out the fabric for the base body suit soon (soon in my family means within the next 20 years:rolleyes: ) gotta go:spidey: :spidey: :spidey: :spidey: :spidey: :spidey: :spidey:

Went away for the weekend to play SPidey and all HELL broke loose. I don't think this CLOWN is going to respond either Mike.

Whoever you are, YOU'RE AN A$$!! Dude, you need some serious couch time to deal with this plagiarism problem you have. What a weenie....... Hope to shout you don't pull this again cuz I can pretty much say it would be a safe bet that there would be a real manhunt after your a$$. Whats the matter your suit not good enough to post your own pics, sorry to hear that! LOSER!

Hi to all..... been away for awhile but I thought I would share some shots of some promos I did. I'll send these over to IMURME and he can post them when he gets the chance. Hope you like.....

[LarTheLad]

I just thought I share the fact that I know some of you on this forum and the time i responded to this whole ebay mess made me look like a very suspicous suspect in this. I know to many people on this board that i feel ive made friends with. I would never try to be dishonest. I do have a way to show off, but I'm not hero looking enough just yet. Of course a hero needs a costume to. So I just want to know if I'm still an okay guy on this forum. Also has anyone tried to use any material other then spandex for costumes. Just a curious question. Also i did see something about making a mask and wonder if thats the only way to do one. or can you get an individual spidey mask made by any of the costume companies.

Hey bro!

I wondered why my BFAM didnt slam this guy!

SY my friend you dont know half of it,I'll mail ya lata.

BTW SY and everyone else..I simply cant move my legs!Went back to the gym with a vengeance and paid the price.

Now I feel woozy and my throat is sore,happens every time I start training my internal defenses are taken up by repairing the muscle,so I often get a cold or flu within the first week of training.

anyhows lata all

Ps,i have a daunting task ahead ..how the hell am I gonna climb these stairs...maybe if i go sideways like a crab...

[SpiderManYetter]

ah... man you probably over did it! Ya gotta work into legs, they will kick your a$$ everytime. Hell I lift 3 x's/ week + TKD + cardio and I still kill my legs squating for 5 hours for Spidey pics. They'll throw you into nausea every time. Gotta work into the resisitance.

I'm really curios to get your e-mail now.... I'm in all day if you need me.

Oh God please, I know what you guys mean. I am finally getting over the pain to my right Calf muscles. It has been hurting me for the past 6 weeks, what a pain in the a$$, oops I mean leg :p. But all you can do is live right through it.

Other than that though my legs have gotten bigger as I am trying to keep the body simetry there at the same time, while still hacking away at my body fat content which is going down pretty well, and I am starting to see more ripped areas showing up. The competion body building guys at my gym are really egging me on lately, they want to see me in my new type of suit that I am designing. They say I have that natural build of a superhero, they have seen me in my Spidey Costume which gets a lot of praise out of them, but I try to stay humble about the whole thing. I dont need a big head, it's bad enough trying to get this new project that I am doing in order, but all goes well with it.

Well I hope all you guys will have an awesome day. :cool:

wow! what a suit, is the fabric custom printed? awsome muscle shading , i'd love to see some close ups of the mask/eyes and the webbing, also is that muscle suit under the costume or just really buffed either way bloody good work. spidergeek , great to hear your suits coming on well have you tried anything out for the eyes yet? hopfully (if i can get the scanner to work i'll get some pics up off my masks, i'm having trouble finding anything that even remotely resembles a spidey pattern, or even a bright red spandex, cherry red just aint right!

[Norman Newguy]

MRJ / German - Thanks for the respect. Really makes it all worthwhile for your appreciation.

IMURME- Once again thanks for posting the pics. Sorry to be a burden.

Basically guys, its all customed painted. Webbing, muscle hi-lites, octagon pattern. Wish there was a quick way to mass produce the detail but to no avail. I'm not wearing a muscle suit. That's all me under there. Just takin' an afternoon helping a friend out for some publicity. I'll try to snag some closer shots next appearance. I brought my digital but hardly had anytime to delegate someone to snap pics. Thanks again!

Untill then.....

-Norman

[Norman Newguy]

test If anyone can help advise how to post pics w/o having to trouble IMURME, sure would appreciate the help. I think Mick was having the same trouble I was.

[SpiderManYetter]

Remind me never to stand next to you in the Marvel suit.... sheeshh. Hope you paid the guy whoever painted that well!

[webslinger922]

Hey Norman, that is one serious siut!!! Can I ask how long did it take to do all the custom painting, Did you do it on a manniquin, or did you have it painted befor it was assembled? Just curious.

WS922,

Actually it's a combo of both. The top was painted on a mannequin and the pants shot while being filled by a live body. I'm currently working on a second suit which will be much closer than this one.

[blaze269]

I am totally speechless on that suit, and my girlfriend who isn't much into spidey says "thats cool." I am amazed is all I can say! I would give anything to have that good looking of a suit, no matter what it cost me. I (no offense) didn't expect to see that great a job of shading, etc.:eek:

[Modus]

WOW that suit looks awesome Norman Newguy!!! The other pics you posted of it awhile back looked good but these show it off even better. Nice work! You ARE Spider-man!

Beautiful work, the muscle shading is absolutely superb.
I love the blue you used, I think the Spidey outfit looks so much richer with that kind of blue.

Luke:eek:

[SpiderAce]

Holy Crap what an amazing suit , i would love to know how you made your suit Norman , i have been debating making my own and now this just settles it , I am thinking maybe a negative color version of the black symbiote costume or maybe a silver and black , email me at Aceswild email (Aceswild5@aol.com) so I can get an idea of where to start .German spider , great work on yours also, send more pics if possible

[peterparker0077]

YES, i was hoping to see more pics of that suit,...AWESOME!

Hey german, whats wrong over there? You ok?

I ordered my black and white spidey suit, should be in in acouple weeks.... wow, 2 in's in one sentence, but i guess it right!

Mick, try the crab style, works for me. lol

the first time i did an appearance for 6 hours squatting on top of a table with out coming up, except to go to the bathroom, and a occansional back flip or 2, i was sore alittle, but the next appearances i was ok. it's from all those damn low stances i have been doining in kung fu for the past 11 years, really good for the legs. i practice squating low in a horse stance (like your sitting on a chair, but the chair is not there) and get my thighs parallel to the ground, back strait, and set a glass of water on my thigh, so if i stand up the glass falls off. see how long you can keep the water in the glass! thats a game we play at kung fu all the time, you should try it! makes squating for appearance seem easy.

[peterparker0077]

oh, also, does anyone know where on the web i can get a good look at metal wolverine claws like the movies? i am making a pair for a friend and would like to see if anyone else has tried. thanks

[Germanspider]

@PP: Uhm... not really ok here... things are not as well i thought before i move to a new town.

Could happen, that i will loose my new job in the next weeks due to shortens in our company.
And when money is getting low in a company the new ones always have to go first.

But we will see... i can´t do anything more. Only wait and see.

Good deal Norman,

By the way if anyone needs any magic advice as in Sleight of hand and such or would like to learn please dont hesitate to email me , there is a small fee but nothing huge , just wanted to see if anyone was interested , I myself have been doing magic for 25 years and would like to see my fellow hypsters get a shot at it

email me at ACESWILD (Aceswild5@aol.com) :D

[spidermanUK]

WOw:eek: thats by far the best spidey suit ive ever seen well done uve made a real quality on there dude:}

[LarTheLad]

Mick--> Our Leader of this thread, I hope you get over whatever it is. Want to have a chance to chat at you again. Please take care of yourself, most of all

Norman--> I have to say what a more then awesome costume. Makes me feel even more jealous of wanting a costume myself. Just a superb Job.

Pete--> I came across a site know as www.dragonfrye.org I think this guy makes the wolverine claws, but I'm not sure if it was what your looking for.

GermanSpider--> You know I hope you don't lose your Job and that you are a great guy. Im sure if this company your working for is not right for you. I'm sure you'll find another company to work for

To Everyone--> Does anyone know of or even use the chat room
on the hype. I thought it would be a better for all of to us to use and talk about how to go about making the perfect spidey suit. pm me to, I would't mind that. Although I don't have the talent to sew, I guess maybe it do me no good.

That's all I have to say for right now.

mrj,

I got this link from Mike last year, and I bought some spandex which I am yet to turn into a costume.
They have a very good range of Spandex, Lycra, they stock Cire spandex "wet look, rubber effect" which you'll probably need for your Alex Ross suit.

Hi guys,

My name is Matt and i live in New Zealand.
I have been following this board thread for quite a while, and finally got round to registering.

I am looking to buy a spiderman suit, and i am looking to buy one in the next week or so, one of the suits i am lookin into at the moment is the Margaret Waite Athletic designs movie suit.
Has anyone brought one off her or see one up close?
(i like the style of the spider and the look of the material, but not so keen on the grey webbing)

I do a lot of medieval stunt work and want a suit that would hold up to a fair bit of punishment, so if any costume makers want to give me a quote and pics that would be great (already heard from joseph).

Or alternativly, anyone got any more links to makers who are not associated with this board and who do spiderman suits?

Am am a serious cash buyer who wants a spiderman suit, so if you make em, or have one my size to sell then please drop me a line at matthewbrachi@hotmail.com

[Spider-Gamer]

Welcome to the Hype KIWISPIDER!:D

[WestcoastAssassin]

Hi artist and fabric sculpters:

i have been a long time reader and like to congratulate the makers and artists' that sculpt these great garmets. As a suggestion even though i havent been a maker i would like to tell you about rash gaurds. Rash gaurds are spandex tops or suits that surfers wear. As per hobby i come in contact with them on a daily basis. But i thought that they would make a great base to a costume or something to slip under the costume itself. To find out more you may contact me at the following AIM: spidermanklone
or email mvc6@pitt.edu.

or oneill.com
or other surf sites.

thank you for your time gentlemen
i look forward to more posts

:daredevil

[spidermanUK]

@Mick:
One question:
You sew your suits yourself, do you? What kind of machine do you use? A overlock (called so in germany) or a normal sewing-machine?

I will test, if i could use a normal machine for lycra the next days.

Martin

[LarTheLad]

Well as I discovered over the last week, That the hype needs to fix its private message service and its chat room. I sent some messages but they never got thru or never got responded too. If you have a private message you haven't responded to from me, please respond. This is know its working. I just trying to keep my own responses down in this thread. It just because I don't have nothing new to add as of yet.

Mick--> I really do hope you havent fallen off a building or some villan has you in his clutches. I'm really beginning to wonder if your alright.

spidergeek-->I have to say that your new project, intrigues me a little. Let me know if you can chat sometime. You can email me too at Lsqard916@aol.com

SpidermanUK--> Nice pic !

Martin... might want to see if you can find a machine that has some different varieties of stretch stitches. This is a special stitch designed for fabric that has a lot of tension on it to give w/o popping threads. Hope this helps

-Norman

[SpiderAce]

Just ti interject a bit of knowlege, i think the thing you need is called a serger , its for sewing lycra and such :) :cool: :cool: :cool:

[peterparker0077]

yeah, look for a sewing machine that sewes a zigzag pattern. that pattern, and a couple othere can strech with the fabric. i think most machine can do it, my old- ooollllldddd (1940's or so) singer can do it, so i am guessing most new ones can too.


have you guys been to the daredevil thread? what a bunch of whiny babies!!! they company about everything! and most of em already hate the movie and havent even seen any footage yet, i cant beleive it.

[mrj]

hi spidergeek good news on the suit!! heres a tip for the boots,
try putting a thick long sock on and use the duct tape method, you have to cut it off your foot so be carefull with those scissors,
use this as your pattern to make a pair of spandex socks and stretch them over a pair of cheap ninja style tabi boots, glue and sew in place, icut the soles out of the socks and sewed the bottom of the sock just above the rubber sole, hope this helps, theres probably better ways but i found this works and the tabi boots are very cheap from a martial arts shop.

Hi everyone! This is my first post to the board. I"ve made a few spidey suits myself and now working on a movie style suit. I have the body pattern, but wondering if anyone has a pattern for the movie style mask?? Not the weblines....just the cut of the fabric for the mask/neck area. Also.....is there any companies selling the blue 4-way stretch spandex with the brickwork pattern?? Would love to post some of my costume pictures but may need help with this as I"m new to the board. Hope everyone likes my costume. I silkscreened all of my pieces....took me two years to complete my first suit project!!

Ohh...my email is gmkeld@aol.com Would love to trade ideas, costumes parts, pictures.

Hey it's nice to see you on the board SCSpidey, I hope all the guys will be of help to you. They have the know how of doing a good suit. Any ideas that you have or they have I am sure they will give you a good amount of info.

Again welcome:spidey:

Oh PS guys I went to see Minority Reports tonight, with my friend, it was pretty good, and they also showed the preview to Dare Devil. The preview actually looked pretty neat, and it starts off with him sitting or kneeling on top of a building next to a few angel statues. Also there is a Gothic type of music playing in the back ground. Then they show some action clips after that.:daredevil

Also.....is there any companies selling the blue 4-way stretch spandex with the brickwork pattern?? Unfortunately, no that process was developed through multiple silk screens.

It would be far simpler just cutting your sock down the back and making the pattern from that.

[mrj]

never thought of that..dohh!!!

[peterparker0077]

for putting a sole into the feet, i just make my spandex soxes alittle big, and then slip in a watersock with a good rubber heal, or anylaceless shoes with a elastic band around the anlkle to stay on good. once the choes are in, i sew them to the spandex, then cut off the part of the spandex that covers the sole. its pretty easy, and your boots are one solid color. check out my costumes to see.

ive seen em my friend GREAT WORK, what do you use for the eyes? are you the guy who works at universal island? if so my nephew is going there in october, are there any good pieces of merchandise to be had such as masks etc? ive told my nephew to get good photos of the actor playing spidey in the hope of copying the suit.:spidey: :spidey: :spidey:

[peterparker0077]

well, i wish i worked at universal, but its not me, there are a couple people who play spidey there, one is a good friend of mine, but havent seen him in a while. the suit is a regular marvel i think, yetter would know better than i would.

for the eyes, i just take a run of to home depot and pick up some commercial window tint, that is mirrored for the inside of your house windows, not car windows(too thin). hope it helps

[peterparker0077]

oh, im sorry, thanks for comments mrj! its too early in the morning, i cant read strait! hehe

Hey Pete0077 you are due on the grounds of Universal at 10 am, move it buddy. hahahahaha

Actually Pete0077 if you did work there and I was the boss, you would get an extra bonus every week, because you are one of the coollest guys that I know that would fit the part. We would just have to work on that Southern Accent of yours :D

As for me I would take a break from the office once in a while and show up as Venom, now that would be an awesome picture to see:venom:

Also to add since I am at it, hmm Yetter in a Ben Reily suit, hmm Mick in a Spidey 2099 suit, and Norman in his movie Version suit, man what an event:eek: But I would be really out numbered :p

I would pay twice that admission fee just to see that take place :D

[SpiderAce]

Just thought I would sya helloo to all my fellow hypsters and say that I took a few pics this weekend , just fooling around and thought to take a few shots , I will send them to the master of pic posting soon. any way need to get some sleep soo be well all. ;) :) :) :)

[SpiderAce]

trying to get the photos up

[SpiderAce]

retrying

[mickmike]

SpiderAce,
Absolutly wonderfulL!Awesome!! I for one am so glad to see a comic version again!!!!!!!! Im dog tired of the movie version,silver webs just aint my bag baby!

Is it your own or one of Josephs(cuz it looks similar)

Again ,Well done!!!

[SpiderAce]

yes it is joseph's , i wish I had the talent to make a costume , but for Now I will stick to posing in the costumes , like my "breakdancing pose , god man that took me back .LOL

Mick do you have a chat program like aim or something , I would love to chat with ya

Ace

[CATo9TAILS]

But where are the pictures??:confused:

[LarTheLad]

Trust me the pics were online and they were great. But SpiderAce was worried that they might disappear off the board in the fashion they just did. It's strange how that occured after just a couple of days. To anyone who hasn't seen them be paitient, maybe they will re-appear. After all SpiderAce said he was into magic. As for me, I guess I really don't have anything new to add. I've really been kind of busy with my own thing. I'm doing my update with my weight loss next monday on here. So I'll let you know how I'm doing. For now, all I can say is things are still going well. Im glad to here of this possible photo with Mick, SpidEMC, and Pete. It would be cool to see all the good costume versions protrayed on this board. Wish I could be a part of it, but its still a long time coming for me. Also could the same thing be said, about how well the Marvel Characters are potrayed at Universal in Hollywood, which is several hours away from where I live. Seem like they get better publicity down in Orlando. Mick I guess the best I can do is send you private messages from the hype. I also use you email because I know its on thread here too.

SpiderAce: I must say another Nice suit from Joesph's line :) he has done mines well also, and I will be adding another of my own type of hero to my new wardrobe.

Spidergeek: your right I did low ball that Admissions fee :D, also cant wait to see your suit.

Larz: Keep working it dude, I know you are really going all out there with feeling in your goal to get that awaited suit soon. I have been speaking it for you. You would be amazed how powerful the words you speak out of your mouth can have an effect on you and the people around you as well. Speak it and believe it buddy.

Mick: Hey your right it is nice to see the comic version suits again.

Yetter/PeterParker0077: Thanks for the advise on my injury, not as bad as I thought it would be Doc Oct. said. I should be back to 100% soon.

And to the rest: Lets see some more pics and postings

[Dr. Spoon...]

hey guys, finally gotten into makin my own ultimate spidey costume! if u guys culd help me that wuld be cool, i also had a look at the fan site with the costumes from here and i wuld like some additional information. anywho... i have no idea what im doin (ABSOLUTELY) first off, and i have a pretty low budget!

i wanna get a proffesional tailor to make the core of the suit (no webs, eyes, spider on front) what is the best materials to ask for do u guys think?
and also how do i make sure that those guys get every little tidbit right?
oh! and i want gloves, mask, and torso pieces to be seperate but still look whole when they are all together, can i do that and make it look good?

how do i go about making eyes?
i want them to be white, yet slightly reflective ( im picky arent i?!) and of course easy to see out of.

and the last 2 questions!
are the web patterns real hard to make?
i dont have a body cast to put the costume onto so ill have to do it with the costume face down. how shuld i go bout this?

muscle shading?
im guessing either i know how to do this real well or it will look crapo right?

oh yeah! and soles for boots? any suggestions?

anyway, thanx for ure future help guys!!!

:D

[peterparker0077]

on a red and blue spidey suit, it is hard to make the gloves, boots, and hood seperate, because the webbing lines will never match up when you put it on. so i would recommend making it one piece, unless you dont mind the lines not matching up.

to make the eyes white, and slightly reflective, just make the under layer of window tint, and cover it with white mesh cloth. they will be white and slightly reflective.

for the web lines, they are not to hard. i just spread my suit down on a ironing board and bust out the sharpe marker, use a ruler, and make sure they are strait, (vertical lines that is), and then arc each horizontal line.

hope it helps

[mrj]

first off, a big hello to dr spoon another welcome addition to the board, if you go back over the last half a dozen pages you wil find a lot of good advice hints and tips on the very subjects you mentioned, as for having a low budget, i aint got a lot to spare, and i know spidergeek had a budget of about $100, so your not alone in wanting to keep things to a minimum, so good look with your suit and don't let your budget restrict you if anything it just makes you more creative.:spidey: :spidey: :spidey:

[lilbowrabi]

i just wanna say that my movie costume costume me about £25 all in all, about $35, i havent been answering some of the questions i could of but here are my thoughts, trial and error is an important part of the production of any homemade costume for eg, to make the spidey mask, lay your head down on some paper and draw around it, then cut about 2cm away from the outline of your head, then sew, and if it doesent fit adjust, i am 14yrs old and i started my 1st costume 4 months ago, i am now on my 3rd, just thought id let you guys know as you dont much about me.

to the dr and anyone elese, i can give some good info on creating that costume. lilbowrabi@aol.com

[Spider-Ham Hype]

Hey all,
I have just finished a new Spidey suit and would like to post pictures. Is there someone that can put them up for me?
Thanks

[webslinger922]

Hey SPider-Ham hype, Good to see you posting again. I loved the pics of the mask you sent me. I hope this is the costume that goes with it. By any chance are you going to the chicago ( wizard world ) convention in july?

[imurme]

wow spider-ham, that is a hella cool costume!!! the hard hours and such really paid off!

[SpidEMC]

great suit guy. Most have really took some time :D Keep it going. :spidey:

[peterparker0077]

hey ham, nice suit, did you sew it your self or is that a marget base suit? it looks really good!

[Spider-Ham Hype]

Thanks!
Yes that suit is all mine.
NO it is not a Margaret suit.

[SpiderManYetter]

Ham.... Nice suit! Very clean.... if you want to PM me to swap ideas, let me know. Looks like you were really close to the movie pattern. very clean and very sharp! Very Nice Job on the brick pattern.

Speaking of idea swapping I have to take a minute out to get something off my chest. I know this thread is huge and they're are a few regulars that have been here since this thing spawned. This is definatley not directed towards you. BUT... for you newbees that think a thread forum is a place that you can shed any decency you have and think "being cordial" is when your face-to-face only, I'm afraid your sadly mistaken. I can only speak for myself when I say this but I'm sick of throwing around advice to people that dont appreciate it. My capability is the by-product of hours and hours of hard work and learning from my peers. Many attempts at trying something and if it doesn't work, trying something else. You "newbees" ask "How can I do this?" and "How can I do that?" and when we tell you, we don't get as much as a "thank you". Well you know what? When someone specific took their TIME out of their BUSY schedule to help me, guess what? A FRIENDSHIP formed, a damn good friendship! So next time someone sends you a pattern, offers advice, points you in the right direction you're trying to head, stop and offer a little frickin' gratitude. MY GOD PEOPLE! Is this what soceity has developed in to? sheeshh.... nuff said!

[LarTheLad]

First to Spider-Ham--> I have to say that suit rocks. If That is the suit on ebay currently up for bid, All i can say is if I had the ability to bid on it and could fit into it right now, I would go for it. Looks like that suit also got a very different entry into the suit. Plus I know one time on Ebay a long while ago, you had a Spider-Man 2099 suit for sale. Will you ever plan do one of those again. That was a great suit

Yetter--> Yes buddy you are right. There's plenty Of information on here to make a suit. I've taken this information to heart and can clearly say, there is no way right now that I have near enough talent to make the suit. To all who have been brave enough to make the suit. I praise all the wonderful work and time all you guys take to make this thread what it is.

This thread will hopefully for my sake and for up to when the next movie comes out. Because for me this is the greatest time to be and a great challenge for me to be, a Spidey In Training. I'm loving myself and life and the training. I care about showing myself and those of you who are this thread, that I will triumph and I'll be the next best Spidey show off on this board (Well I'll try in any case).

"With Great Internal And External Power, Will Come A Person Of Great Heart And Responsibilty."

[Spider-Ham Hype]

Yetter:
Thanks man! Email me some time @ lmalott@fuse.net
& yeah your right about ungreatful SOBs.

Lar:
Thank you also! Yeah that's the same suit that was on ebay.
I only made one 2099 suit. But I would make another one.

[SpidEMC]

Some one most have really cheesed you off dude:mad:

But sooner or later they will have to learn to respect other peoples time and information, and thank the person for doing it ou of their busy lives. Guys dont go around asking for advise and not thanking the person for giving it to you. That is just WRONG.

[lilbowrabi]

has anyone ever used the pattern thats in the spidey movie book , the one that imurme posted a couple of months back, im really stuck, i have got the plaster cast and the latex but i cant do any thing before i know how the latex is going to me set of the pattern, i understand the part from down under but where it gets to the top i dont get, could some one help, also i was thinking, out of us knowone has atcually made a spidey movie costume that has all the qualities of the one toby wore?

Lil,


Trying to understand what you are trying to accomplish.... You're asking how the pattern assembles? If you're going off of IMURME's posting awhile back, you're missing the back of the mask as well as the arms. Check the making of the movie book for the complete pattern.

[webslinger922]

Hey Spider-Ham Hype, your suit rocks. Thanks for the shots that shows where you put the zipper. I like your attention to detail. You must have put in as much time making your suit that Acheson's crew put in making the movie suit.

[lilbowrabi]

ive seen the book, but that cant be the complete pattern or james what ever his name is must be doing something special cos i ve cut out a mini pattern of it and sewn it together, it comes with two things jsut above the neck, also is the pattern in the book for the back side of the costume as well?

[Norman Newguy]

lil,

Which pattern are you referring to? There are two in the book. Actually there are three total. One has a "unitard" look back that's sewn in the middle. The black / white muscle pattern is the complete pattern. The two "things" you are referring to are placed right behind your ears. This is the complete pattern not front or back. Remember, seams were stratigically placed to be hid by webbing.

Thanks, I've been working on it for over 8 months and I'm still not done yet.

[blaze269]

Hey spider-ham,
I second all the praise!
I hadn't gotten to say it yet, but the suit looks awesome. Great job you've done!
