Nice lookin weblines regardless there!

[PeterParker3k]

Hey LoganX5142, :wolverine

If you need any help with anything, let me know. I get out to Orlando quite frequently. E-mail me, I'd like to get involved.

PeterParker3k@yahoo.com

:spidey:

[spiderman boy]

Theres more people in here from florida than i thought!

[LoganX5142]

Yep. I would like to have a bunch of you guys from Florida show up at this con. You can help out with the costume contest. And compete. The first prize is like $500. It's the day after Halloween. So there should be alot of costumes. Alot of, if not the entire, 501st should be there. We could have a ton of spider-men there, as well.
I also need help promoting the con/costume contest. So if I can meet up with you guys I can give you flyers to hand out at local comic book stores. Or I can mail some to you.
Anyone in Florida interested in helping out, or competing email me at Loganx5142@yahoo.com
Thanks.

Hello everybody...
I know... i haven´t postet for a while and some of you may not know me. But i was busy in my job.
But i´m still working on my suit. Hope to finish it some day. :)

Something different:
Did you see, that on the new suit, they did not change only the front and back spider... also the inside of the gloves:

Oh boy... should i start another suit before finishing the first one? :)

Best wishes to everybody...

That's pretty cool! I love that movie costume. :spidey:

This is great, my spandex suit will be here by Tuesday or Wednesday (the 16th), and then I just gotta ship it out to get all the stuff on it...and it'll be back in my hands by the end of this month! Can't wait, this is gonna be great. I've waited forever to have an awesome suit like this...sorry, just wanted to share my joy :D

[EvH347]

This caught my eye on Ebay...someone should ask this guy for more pics. Post them back here when you get them. It should be interesting to see who is willing to fork $3500 for it.

[Germanspider]

I can remember, someone send me this pic to put it on the costume page. But right now i can´t find it.
I will search for it tomorrow.

To all, that send me pics for the costume page:
Don´t worry... you all will be on there. Just when i´ve finished another project for the web. Because: First there comes the work, that bring money and after that, there is the fun :)

[Frank_McKeever]

Cool, but I think that person's lost their mind...

[Germanspider]

Yup... found it...
The costume owner is Wu_Monk

He´s on the costume page with old pics and he sended me some pics of his new suit.
I don´t know, if he would like me to post the pics in here, but he´s also a member of this thread. May be he will read this and can tell us more.

Martin

[Frank_McKeever]

LOL....

Uhhh....did I say lost his mind? Umm...of course not! ;)

Interesting though.

[SpidEMC]

Oh Boy Crazy costume people at it again :D

Hey what am I saying? My costume designer has the material to start work on the Knight Seeker Suit, I must be some kind of nutt to have this suit done for myself. Oh wait then I have to think about marketing, accessories, and a whole slew of other things. Man what a project. ETA on Compeletion of Book. If I dont fall asleep tonight I may be finished typing it into the computer by 6am Saturday, or just bumb off til late Saturday night it may be done. We will see :)

Well to all have a great weekend, I hope all of you are doing great. As for me Excited, but also tired at the same time, bu my journey is almost over for this part of the trip in my life.

If not for working I would be there. I myself am TK-3467 in the 501st Fl Garrison.

[Frank_McKeever]

Logan: I'm also willing to compete. When the time gets closer, post a topic about it here and let everyone know when and where it is; sounds exciting :D

[mrj]

hey guys, you may wanna check out www.hollywood-costumes.com, go through the cheesy spidey suits and at the bottom youll see a new suit available, just like the suits worn at the marvel theme park, heavy duty spandex white eyes rubber soled boots, $375 dollars, i'm gonna have me one of these !!

[KIWISPIDER]

hmmm... well i had a look, but i can really say that im that impressed..

[Frank_McKeever]

I highly suggest you dont get it. When they say that it fits up to 44' chest, they mean ONLY a 44' chest. If you have a 34' chest, and you put that sucker on, it's gonna be loose as ever.

That doesn't mean that it stretches out from 30' to 44'...I really wouldn't waste all that money on it, but hey, that's my opinion.

[BRIN]

Hey guys,
If you want one of those Spidey suits like they have at Hollywood Costumes, I can order them through Morris Costumes.
Contact me and I can get them for you cheaper.
BRIN'S E-MAIL (batman_1125.geo@yahoo.com)

[Drkepoch]

I gave that one at hollywood a look over, but i'm not very impressed. I would always stick to a custom fit one.

But that's just my opinion. I'll have to wait until my custom fit costume is finished, then I can tell you what i really think :)

[SpidEMC]

Yeah I actually did it! I have to say that was a lot of work but the novel is done on my end of the fence then my editors get it. The book will be 26 chapters long, full of a lot of great stuff that I think many people will be able to relate to of many age ranges. The book is meant for a PG-13 audience. I just cant wait to see the thing in print, hoping for early next year. I doubt that Knight Seeker's story will be out before the holiday season, but hey you never know if a publishing company wants it bad enough :D

Well now I will relax for a weeks and take it easy over at San Deigo Con this coming weekend. I hope to see you guys there whoever can make it.

Take care you guys,

Eric

[mrj]

cheers for the comments on that suit, ive looked into it deeper and it is a one size suit so it would be a little baggy., i'm gonna give it a miss, time to make a costume to go with all the masks i've made for myself and others, trouble is i have only found the red spandex so far, does anyone know of any u.k. suppliers ?

[Frank_McKeever]

YAY! I just got my new suit! It's SOOO COOL! Although, I just shipped it out to Tim (Smith) to get all the stuff on it. Hopefully it'll be back in my hands by the very end of this month! Wahoo!!! :D :D

lol, I ran outside on my driveway screaming "I AM SPIDER-MAN PEOPLE!" ;)

[Drkepoch]

That's awesome, Frank. Can't wait to see pictures of it. Also can't wait till your films finished :)

[LoganX5142]

I hope EMC is all rested up by the time we get out to San Diego. 'Cause I aint gonna stop 'till I pass out on the plane comin' home.
Yeah. With the help of one of my roommates, I'll have a flyer for this convention out soon. I'm gonna put thjem on just about every comic book counter in central Florida with in thru September and October. So if you live in Central Florida (Orlando, Haines City, Winter Park, St. Pete, Tampa, Clearwater) let me know. I would really like some help locating all the comic shops around. Thanks.:wolverine
Frank. You better watch runnnin' around in that outfit screaming. You're liable to get shot.

[Frank_McKeever]

Logan: lol, my neighbors are friendly. I walked around the block in my old suit and everyone stared at me. This one, older lady thought it was neat. She was like "Glad to see Spider-Man protecting the area! My grandson would die if he saw you!" lol :)

I know I'll be there. With SpiEMC, Brin, and Peterparker0077. And if you're talking about the con I was talking about. It aint 'til November. So unless you're saving your office the two days after Halloween, you should still come. (Jedi mind trick) You want to come to Collect-A-Con, in Orlando.

[Wildelros]

Logan?? You are Taking about Dragon con in Atlanta Ga. Right? If you guys are there I will be Running around( just look for the Red Streek) As The Silver age Flash:) I just gotta get a Picture with Julius Schwartz' & Carmine Infantino.

NICE WORK HAM & IMMURNE!

[Drkepoch]

Ham Rocks! :) You're unbelievable man. That suit is awesome.

EvH keep in touch, man.

[blaze269]

OH MY GOD I GOTTA HAVE THAT SUIT!
* looks to see how much is saved up so far.

[SpidEMC]

Well tomorrow is the day of the convention. Sorry to hear that you cant make it Wilds. I will see you at Dragon Con in Atlanta,GA though. You asked about costumes that we will be wearing. As for me I will Have I guess one fo my spiderman suits. But also I will Have a Morphus for (Matrix I) on the purple looking type suit , the only kicker is finding the right glasses. The main thing on my mind will be the KNIGHT SEEKER suit I will have that ready for that convention. Also I will have my co-worker who is Tygron also at the convention with his character's suit on, he is really syked about the whole idea of the convention, but to also have his own character that is in the novel is a big plus to him. Spider-Time will also be there as Neo from (Matrix II) along with CGI-Weapons- who will have his sister along and we all will try to do a Matrix type theme.

Spider2002 I think the best part of that costume you got there is the boots thanks for sending the pics to Imurme.:wolverine

HAM well you know how I feel about your work, Freak'n awesome:spidey:

Imurme as always thanks for doing such a great favor to us for posting these pictures that we send you. :cool:

Well until later guys, also I will take some nice pics at the convention. I will be in and out of suit most of the time so it will give me time to just walk around without being mobbed by the spiderfans for pics :)

See you guys later and have a great weekend, you know we will in San Diego :D

[mrj]

hiya, i just typed in to google "morpheus glasses" and plenty of results came up ranging from cheapo pairs at £ 15.00 about 11 dollars, or ya can get the real things for £250 a pair about $200,
blind design the makers of the film glasses sell em .

[Drkepoch]

Just out of curiosity...is there anyone else, besides me and EvH, that live in Minnesota. If so drop me an email, I'd love to meet the rest of the nearby fans.

Also, I finally got the suit for my custom design. I'll post photos as i work on it.

[eLuSiVeSpDrMaN]

hey there, True Believers. I've been watching this forum grow for quite some time, and I wanna take the time to say right now that you guys are superheroes in yourselves. I am a long time spiderman fan and have tried to replicate his duds on occasion myself, but nothing like this.

Who am I, you ask?

A long lost brother, enshrouded in mystery. I've been described as witty, athletic and a bit of a dredevil. Needless to say, I would give anything for a chance to be part of something this great .. If you guys need anything, i got your back.

So, what's up?

[Drkepoch]

Welcome in, Elusive

Nice Quote :cool:

:spidey:

[mrj]

hi elusive welcome to the forum, the home of the coolest dudes with the coolest threads, spider ham HOW THE F*@K DO YA DOP IT, every suit i see is better than the last, the colours and shading is superb !:D

[Frank_McKeever]

Welcome Elusive.

It's always great to have another fan join the ranks :spidey:

[Drkepoch]

I just started the suckiest part of my suit build:( - the lenses...

I decided to use arcrylic plexiglass for them and I've actually had to wing the cutting with several key pieces of my knife collection. I hope this all turns out all right, cause it going to take me forever. :(

I suppose that's alright though, cause the results should be great ;)

[Drkepoch]

Alright!
I got marginally far with the first lens!
Hooray :cool:

Head over to http://www.fierce-studios.com/sin/gallery.htm . There you can see some pics of me making the first one. You can also see demo art of what the finished suit will look like.

To keep from hitting on any possible copyrights, and because it's my own variation/design - I have named the suit "SIN"

Consequently, I am also writing a story to go along with him. When I hit on chapter four or so I will post it on my site as well.

Oh, and thanks to all of you great costume makers whose works inspired me to move ahead with this project. I would never have done this if I hadn't found this forum :D

Thanks Again,
Tony

[eLuSiVeSpDrMaN]

whoa, Drkepoch! Looks great so far.... that costume is tight! I think more and more of you guys should make costumes from original designs!

I mean, once you make a movie costume everyone's like "WHOA, that looks just like the new spiderman movie costume!" But imagine their response if you made an original costume of like quality. Now THAT's a costume!

Hey, I know this stuff ain't no pleasure cruise, but at least you guys make it LOOK easy! All I'm saying is, let's see some jerk on e-bay try to rip THIS off, eh?

take it easy bro

[Drkepoch]

Thanks Elusive, it's great to hear a good comment.

I already have the suit, but I do not want to post pictures of it unitll I at least finish with the webbing design. I think you guys will like it when I'm done.

For those of you that are newbies to this just like me, I will post a mini-tutorial on how i make my suit on my site http://www.fierce-studios.com/sin/gallery.htm . It will be added to as I add to the suit

Later, I got another lens to make

[Drkepoch]

well, my bandwith limit was officially killed, so...My site has been deleted by me until I get my domain on tripod up. It will probably be a day or two.

Yay, everything's back up! With a nicer 20 gb bandwidth limit. You can now check it all out at Fierce Studios (http://www.fierce-studios.com)

[Frank_McKeever]

Goodluck to ya Tony! Looks great so far! :D

[Drkepoch]

Thanks Frank, How's your suit going?

[Frank_McKeever]

Great!

I'm going on vacation tomarrow but it's suppose to be here sometime when I get back, around the 30th hopefully! I can't wait, I'm so close to finally having the suit I've always wanted :)

[imurme]

[Drkepoch]

Wams, you gotta have one of the coolest suits I've ever seen. I love the way the spider is designed.

[EvH347]

That rules. Ya know, Tony and I were talking and he said something to me one time about EMC...I think I was making referrence to the fact that I'd be nervous walking around the general public in Spidey costume, but Tony said that EMC once said, "nobody knows it's you". And I can see that...

But, how do you guys possibly not kill yourselves laughing at eachother when you're walking around striking poses together. I mean, it looks like so much fun...I'm almost dying laughing in my chair looking at those pics because I know that if I was with you three...I'd be the Spidey who couldn't stop laughing because I was having too much fun. Ya know what I mean? LOL :D

The suits look great!

http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/User_files/3ec9696c29c2d476.jpg

[SpiderManYetter]

ahhh... but with a great suit comes great responsibility...

EvH,

Speaking for the appearance actors, when you're in costume out in public, you're Spider-Man. The more you ham it up with gymanstics, poses, witty banter, etc. the more fun everyone has. It may be the moment that a 7 year old gets to meet his hero for the first time and his eyes are as big as saucers. How about a 30-something guy that for a minute becomes the 7 year old cuz here's his childhood hero. This "hero respect" is what makes it all worthwhile...." Oh yeah, the comments from the ladies about your rear-end helps the motivation also....

[eLuSiVeSpDrMaN]

hey wassup tony? That suit-o-yours is lookin pretty spiffy from my standpoint! I like how you're keeping a journal/tutorial of everything. man, can't wait to see those web-shooters. peace out.

-- say where did you send away for the original suit to be put together (im taking a little poll here amongst you guys)

[eLuSiVeSpDrMaN]

kudos to WAMS.... man, that suit is tight.... tight as in cool, not as in chafing or something, lol. anywhoo, keep up the great work, its a big inspiration. take it easy bro. l8r days.

[Drkepoch]

I contracted Graphica Design to make the bodysuit. They are located on teh web at www.Spandexwear.com.
Thanks for the support Elusive.

[mattlear]

Hey all,

I just saw the pics of Ham's ver 2 suit... unreal!

I'm curious, where do you guys get the honeycomb lycra that has the metallic shine to it?

I know the Margaret Waite site sold lycra honeycomb patterns, but judging from the website, they dont seem to be the right shades of red/blue, nor do they have that metallic gloss to them.

Can anyone offer up some suggestions as to where folks are acquiring this stuff?

I'm thinking I'd like to take a cut at making a costume, and it would be nice to eventuallyhave the right materials.

Thanks all!!!

-Matt

Hey Thanks Mr.J just got back in last night and was sorting my contacts for my Knight Seeker Project. I will tell you guys more about it as I read through the stuff, then post the pics that are on my camera.

Elusive -- welcome to the boards bro, and yah designing your own hero is great. I just happen to take mines to a different designing route, Knight Seeker is still a Spider in nature but much more than that.

EvH347 - Oh yeah the laughing is sure to come hanging around guys like us :D We just look at it like art. Just a fun thing to do to make people happy, and to help people to see you can be a little more out going, than just arttending a convention in City clothes. I have inspidered many to get costumes, and so have the others. Some times I feel as though I am a cult leader :D j/k but I am seen as a inspiration none the less. When you step out of your comfort zone it opens a whole new world.

[SpidEMC]

The first pics will be of my new suit. Then I will give the general link at the bottom to the yahoo photos gallery.

Ok I got this to stand out what can I say I am a camera hog at times ;-) (http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/bc/spiderknight_tm/vwp?.dir=/SpidEMC/ComicCON+03+San+Diego&.src=ph&.dnm=Comiccon%2703-32.jpg&.view=t&.done=http%3a//f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/bc/spiderknight_tm/lst%3f%26.dir=/SpidEMC/ComicCON%2b03%2bSan%2bDiego%26.src=ph%26.view=t)

[imurme]

Quick note here guys...I've got some new pics from WAMS from the ComicCon and few new ones from another...but...my system crashed and it is going to take a few days to get it back up...so sorry for the wait and I'll be back soon...I hope ; )

The Seeker can not wait. I want to see pictures NOW!!!!! hahahahaha. Take your time Imurme I know you wil have them up in no time.

And Pete0077 was right it was a great time, cant wait for Dragon Con. Also I should have my basic dark blue material full body Knight Seeker suit by Tues next week, then the fun starts and Spider-Time aka Ben-Clone puts his magic touch on to the plain suit to give it more life. We think it will be a 3-4 step process but it will be ready by Dragon Con.

Emc, I can't wait to see what your Knight Seeker suit looks like...but like I said, I'm a spidey fan, and I have patience :)

[LoganX5142]

Comic con was great. EMC-You get my message? Tell me you got that hotty's digits.
I can't wait for DC. Comic con was cool. But it just aint Dragoncon.
Make sure if you're goin' to DC to bring your swim suit. We could have a Superherohype pool party one afternoon.
If you guys get a chance to see Batman Dead End, take it! They premiered it at the con. It rocks!
And not a single Spiderman entered the costume contest. But they did have an X-team that won 2nd place. You guys should try and have a Venom, Carnage, Green Goblin, Spidey group do a little stunt show. You could mop up.

Oh yeah I got the hottie's digits, and guess what she lives in NJ just about an hour away ;) also she is a model and actress. We spent some time talking, and I really like her personality.

Also she wants to take a look at my project, she is a model and also I needed that Black Asian mix type for the girl friend for Knight Seeker, and she definately fits the part. I called her yesterday and she is very interested. Well also she really, really likes the suit ;) Hint hint!!! hahahhahahaha

Her character will be a stonger willed type of girl, and she can throw down, she is not an Electra, bu stronger than a Mary Jane type, and very independent. She needs to be my superhero is a Hunter and he doesn't need to baby sit his girl. The realationship will not develope until the 2nd book, but she has a good effect in this first book. When we get to making the web movie I know you guys are really going to say (DAMN and it's only a web movie, wait til the real thing comes along)

Well talk to guys soon . I am excited and I hope you guys can feel the Vibe of this project.

The Seeker is off on another Hunt. <>{ (I need an Icon) :D

...Lee's new spiderman costume...

originally emailed by Lee

Hi there everyone,
Thanks to Imurme for posting these pictures of my newly finished spidey costume (it's my second attempt). This weekend I appeared at our hospital summer fete in it, the little kids loved it (haven't got pictures developed yet) one asked me how I climbed out of the telly. I also chased after a few of my patients and one of the local vicars, it was so funny when they realised who I was. My colleagues were impressed, but I've certainly got room for improvement for both the costume and the physique of the person wearing it.

Everyone's costumes on this board are fantastic. I know this costume is nothing special compared to the likes of spiderham etc., but this info might be of help to someone. I used a cat-suit/leotard to make a pattern and adapted the pattern from this to get the blue & red parts I needed to cut out. I was aiming for a classic comic book style (as shown in the pictures). The black webbing is raised(all done prior to stitching to get a smooth effect, except for the seams), and the costume has 2 zips for mask & body at the back (MAKE SURE THE ZIPS ARE BIG ENOUGH, if using a zip along the back of the head it needs to be nearly to the top of the head). I managed to hide nearly all the seams on the torso (hence shot of spidey's armpit), & I used a white plastic mesh used for the eyes (it's meant for needle-point but gives good visibility, people can't see your eye's & it never mists up). The red lycra on the torso is all one piece to avoid seams & each of the boots is also one piece with a seam hidden by webbing running along midline of shin to the toes. I stitched on aqua soles so the boots don't get ruined outdoors(Just like spiderTim). The blue came out a bit bright using flash photography, but ideally I'd like to use a darker colour like kiwispider, SpiderTim or Wams costume next time.

The lady pictured with spidey is my mum, it was the first time she saw the costume and she got quite excited.

I also found out that locally there's a marching brass band who all dress as spiderman & they're led by the green goblin. They've been on the telly, It's a bit of a scary sight though, I'm sure spideys belly shouldn't be quite so big.

All the best,

Lee (Gloucestershire, England)

PS. To MrJ (The guy in Yorkshire) who is after blue lycra in the UK (page 201 on this board). I use Fabric Land (tel:0117 942 6155 for Bristol or 02380 232414 for Southampton shop), or try your yellow pages or a dancewear specialist. If they don't do mail order I'll quite happily buy it & send it through. My e-mail address is LeeMatthews@glospart.nhs.uk

Nope, thats my black one thanks Imurme :)

Matt

[SpidEMC]

hey Lee Excellent pictures you have there I am happy that you got that suit looking that great. and also I like the mask a lot especially how you have the rectagular look of the webbing in between the eyes. Great Work you should have a bow.

Also Kiwi nice looking black and white suit, it should sell very well.

Imurme as for you thanks so much for posting again for the others.

[Drkepoch]

Lee, that's a great lookin' suit! Keep up the awesome work

Kiwi, I have always loved the Black suit, and one looks great!

:) Man there's so many awesome suits out there [looks over to his suit and sighs, so much left to do...]

[KIWISPIDER]

Thanks for posting the pic Imurme :)

thanks for the comments guys, that was just a prototype, a guy i am making a movie suit for wants a black one aswell so i had to figure out how to make it work :)

Matt

[Spider Tim 7]

http://hometown.aol.com/spiderman4fun/baby.jpeg

What a concept

:spidey:

Great suits guys - really.

KiwiSpider - You did a really great job on the Red and Blue Spidey suit from the kit you got from me - excellent. I like the Black suit also.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I am wondering when someone will now venture into making a Doc Ock suit. Now that is a challenge.

[KIWISPIDER]

Thanks for the compliments tim, I had to use differnt material and alter the pattern a little, but it was a great starting place :) Your suits are looking better every time i see them.

Doc Ock would be cool, i am drawing up a few ideas in my head... will see what comes.
:)

[Spider Tim 7]

Hey man - what did you do with all that red and blue lycra then? That is really a expensive, heavy lycra. I'll buy it back from you man. I could always use it for another suit. Is it still in the cut pattern and bagged? Also, what kind of material did you use instead?

:spidey:

[mrj]

hi lee the suit looks great , only your second attempt!! i can see why your mum was exited it looks kinda like an eaves-brookes hybrid, thanks a lot for the supplier info, i'm gonna get onto it this monday, i'm spending this weekend sculpting frames for my lenses so i can produce them in polyester, hoping to have tiny magnets to hold the lenses in place and to make them easy to remove and wipe if they fog, will also be able to switch between mirror, white or smoked lenses depending on what i feel like
again cheers for the suppliers !! more power to ya sewing machine.:D

[mrj]

only me again, just read the dock - ok post gotta say thats got me thinkin, i have a good working knowledge of animatronics and mechanisms and think ive come up with a workable lightwieght
idea for a servo operated tentacle if any of you guys need any help or advice on this kinda stuff dont hesitate to ask, as well as my spidey suit that i'm finally get completed thanks to lee's help, i'm also in the slow process of building some mechanisms for a semi animatronic goblin mask based on the classic look but with a slightly more demonic look as usual the standard of costumes gets better and better you guys are an inpiration to keep going cheers dudes

[Drkepoch]

SpiderTim, nice picture! Looks like you're already saving babies :)

And a Doc Ock suit would definitely be cool to see in action.
Good Luck guys

[KIWISPIDER]

Hey Tim,
Yeah the lycra is really awesome, but the reason i used another material is that i didnt want to stuff up on a first attempt ;)
I have been using a heavy duty spandex instead, that is very tough and durable.

[SpiderJack]

Kiwispider,

Where are you getting this "heavy duty spandex" from? Do you have an online source? I'm always looking for more sources.

Thanks,

SpiderJack

Does anybody have an online source for good "heavy weight" lycra/spandex?

[SpidEMC]

Here you go guys Ben-Clone has been busy again aka Spider-Time The Matrix is upon us (http://groups.msn.com/SpiderKnighttm/pictureorthefounder.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=309)

[spiderman boy]

spidemc thats a cool pic. i like it

also i made a thread if ne of u r planning on making doc ock suits.

[EvH347]

EMC, hee hee...that looks like one of the pics I'm working on right now. That's funny.
I bought a book to help me navigate some cool effects with Photoshop and I'm trying to make some darker stuff...I'm attempting some more sinister Spidey at night type stuff without actually being on location. It's pretty cool, it's more like art to design a location that doesn't exist and place myself into the scene.

Might take me a week or two...:)

Tim,
I want to see some new pics on your website. The baby picture is great, but me thinks that baby may have been permanently scarred gazing into your mirrored lenses. :D

http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/User_files/3ec9696c29c2d476.jpg

[Drkepoch]

good luck Evh. And hey, I'll prolly be phoning you later this week. I'm nearly finished with the webbing and I'm doing the lenses on Tuesday, so I hope to have everything on the suit ready for photos (save for webshooters). Anyways, I could use some help with them.
Thanks

Spiderman Boy: Good luck with that Doc Ok suit. I hope it all goes great.

[SpidEMC]

yeah EVH I would like to see a darker more sinister Spider, but I think mines will take the cake, He will still have the appearance of a hero, but not so meniousing looking as Venom or Carnage, but to be sure if he showed up in any comic book no one would want to play games with this guy.

CopyWrite goes to Washington today, also had my story printed out, when I touched the pages it felt realy good all that hard work I had done to get it to this point. But in honesty It's more like I just got the the gates of the castle I am about to leave out into the real world of the industry. I am making some nice contacts with people in the movie industry. What can I say, Knight Seeker is very marketable.

Got my raw suit last night here are three pics of it.
Raw Knight Seeker Suit 1-3 pictures (http://groups.msn.com/SpiderKnighttm/knightseekernovelsuits.msnw?Page=Last)

-Drkepoch cant wait to see the new photos

-Also Tim I hope to see a few more photos from you as well.

[Drkepoch]

Hell Yeah! :D
That's right, I'm that happy. For two reasons:
1. I soooooo can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Knight Seeker (oh, EMC if you go movie wise keep me in mind for some kind of meager position :D I wanna get on the silver screen. Who knows-maybe KS could duke it out with Sin ;) )
2. I'm out at my dad's right now, and I just finished cutting two new plexiglass lenses with his bansaw (think i spelled that right...) Anyway they turned out better than i could have imagined in my wildest dreams. I hope to finish them tomorrow and have photos of them up as soon as thursday. Expect to see photos of them ON the suit by friday. Expect to have nice photos on my site of me in the nearly completed suit by sunday :D Hopefully ;).

They're so cool! [looks at lenses and cries :D ]

[Zendragon]

Well you never know what you will find by surfing around. I recognize several members here who I met at comic con. Cool board.
Now to try to figure out which route to go for a Spidey Suit.

-Zen

[Drkepoch]

Zen, if you want one made try Kiwispider or spidertim7, they're both excellent craftsman

Oh, and welcome to the boards :)

[SpidEMC]

I wonder if we have met at any of those conventions :D yah never know what crazy guy will be running around in a Spiderman suit half the time.

Hey cant wait to see those lenses -Drkepoch-

Okay Boys I will under take one more project. I will put together the original Look of SPIDER-KNIGHT the character I had the story line all writen out and ready to go for Marvel if I was hired by the company as an appearance person. But as some of you know that will never in life be possible over some certain issues that the company has with me. I should be sad about it, but HELL NO I AINT, got my own character now, and I am ready to Smoke the industry :D

This orginal first thought of Spider Knight will be a little different will look very much like Alex Ross design in it's own way. He will also still carry the sword. Also I will be using and experimenting with a different type of adhesive to do the webbing with. It is actually used on Cars. It is called RTV sillicone. It is used for Gaskets. Was told to go to Auto Zone when I was told about useing this stuff by a model maker at Comic-Con. He said it is strechable and also will stay on the lycra material better than most things known for webbing.

The main Auto Zone manager of the store came to help me find the stuff, it was funny because he asked me why I wanted the stuff. I said he would never guess. He started rolling off stuff at me for repairs of a car. Then I told him it was for a different type of Spidey suit. He was intriqued. The guy was only 20 yrs old and in chage of a store that was impressive, but he was more impressed by me, and I think I can use him in our web movie for Knight Seeker anyhow, and he wants to know more about spiderman suits. What can I say we sure can pull people out of the wood work. :)

[Drkepoch]

How do you do that EMC?

Its like they come right to you...

:)

[KIWISPIDER]

Thanks for the compliment Drkepoch :)

[Frank_McKeever]

Eric: Very cool man! Goodluck to ya.

Woohoo! My suit should be here by the end of this week!

[Drkepoch]

Be sure to post pics Frank!

Kiwi: You're welcome, and very deserving. Your suits look great

[soju]

Hey all,

Wow. It's been so long since I was here. I used to hang out here when all of the organic webbing arguements were going on. Odd that it says "newbie" and "0 posts." Guess the server's crashed a time or two since 2001 huh? :D I can remember this topic before the movie, and let me tell ya ... the activity has REALLY picked up.

Anyway, on to the matter at hand. I just finished my Jango Fett costume (yes, I'm a Star Wars geek too) and holy cow was it a LOT of work. I've started a Scarlet Spider costume, but the costume I've always wanted is Ben Reilly's Spider-Man costume. However, I just don't want to take on another costume project, as I'm not all that talented, yet a perfectionist. That's not a good combination. Don't get me wrong, my 501st buddies and I think the Jango turned out really well. It just took me a year to do!

A LONG time ago, I saw a guy (El Hombre Arana I believe it was) who posted a picture of a guy in the BR S-M costume. He was posing on a roof or something and it looked awesome. So, basically, I was wondering if that same person was still here and would be willing to help me out. OR if anyone else here thought they could do it and what the cost would be. I've been looking over the costumes here, and I gotta tell you, I'm impressed ... VERY impressed.

Please PM or e-mail me (soju_slave@yahoo.com) if you think you can help me out. I'm on the road a lot, and may not be able to respond quickly (in fact I leave for about 2 weeks tomorrow), but rest assured I AM serious about doing this. Thanks, and again ... GREAT costumes.

[Zendragon]

Any links to either of the guys you mentioned? I would like to check out their work...thanks.

[mrj]

i think the best place to find what your looking for is
www.spider-costumes.de, there is a couple of ben reilly suits as well as plenty others, by the way does anyone know if mick (still my fave costume ever) has a web site, would love to know what hes doing apart from the wicked busts. oh yeah has anyone made
a costume for their teddy bears etc, i've got a stuffed monkey thats now got a spidey suit and a symbiot suit, gonna post some pics in a day or two, anyone else got pics ?

[Drkepoch]

Tim's site is http://hometown.aol.com/spiderman4fun/ You can order stuff directly off of his site :)

Kiwi's site I'm not sure about. Hopefully he'll see this and post it up for you.

Hope it helps, Zen

[KIWISPIDER]

Hi guys, I am working on my website, it should be up in the next two weeks, you can email me at SuperheroCloset@hotmail.com and i can send you some pics. Mention your from the hype, cause i give discount for thread members ;)

Matt

[KIWISPIDER]

here is my web site, it is still in construction while i get all my pics loaded on
www.superherocloset.com

check it out and have a laugh ;)

[Frank_McKeever]

Kiwi: Very very cool! I bookmarked it :)

I'm looking forward to more updates on the site. Are you able to make me one of those black spider-man suits? And if so, how much would they be?

LOL. I was looking at your pictures. I really wanted to add a caption to the one with you in your suit on the escalator:

"Err...out of web fluid..." ;)

[KIWISPIDER]

lol, yeah that day at the mall was a laugh, all the little kids (and some big kids too) loved it.

Drop me a line at Supeherocloset@hotmail.com frank and we can talk over some options, i normally would ask $350, but i beleive in doing deals for friends, and i consider this community a friend.
I have a guy who was asking me for a black costume but with the chromed lenses, i think that might look rather cool

[torchdiver]

I took my kids to the park near our house. The park recently got some new equipment.

To find the spider web climber, go to this link. The climber is listed in the right column, second from the bottom.

[SpidEMC]

Well here is what we want the costume to look like once it is done for Knight Seeker. This is me wearing the suit with photo shopediting for the gold areas. This will be a simple, but great suit I believe.

Been doing a lot in the gym to make sure that I try to look as best as I can, now that the book is done and the copyright is sent in I can work more on my body now. Before most of my time went towards the book. Now we have to get going on the web movie we want to do after Dragon Con is over. SO MUCH TO DO.

Oh and does anyone know which is a great web-server to use for the web site we want to have up in about 2-3 months from now? I would appreciate any help in that department.

Oh before I forget here is the newer suit we are working on. This is not the ofical Icon yet but getting there. Knight Seeker New suit concept Using Photo shop and real image of the Raw Suit (http://groups.msn.com/SpiderKnighttm/knightseekernovelsuits.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=316)

[spiderman boy]

KIWI-i still luv that suit man, what fabric did u use, it looks like it fits like spandex, but looks like it has a cloth texture. Also, i forgot how much u said it would cost for a hype member who wanted just the suit with no webbing or eyes? Ill check back to ur new site often.

You have got to reallize ont thing. We are not Geeks bro. We had this discussion once in the 501st. No offense to you of course. But we are Star Wars "freaks" if anything.

[KIWISPIDER]

Hey spiderman boy, it is a tough spandex, so its really durable, If you drop me an email at Superherocloset@hotmail.com then i will try price something up for you :)
Am sewing superman together on monday, so that should be interesting, and i am expecting some batman parts soon too..

[SpidEMC]

Well we got a new punisher by Spider-Time aka Ben Clone New punisher pictures (http://groups.msn.com/SpiderKnighttm/thepunisher.msnw?albumlist=2)

And lastly Costume is proceeding very well on my end of things
Construction of Knight Seeker suit (http://groups.msn.com/SpiderKnighttm/knightseekernovelsuits.msnw?albumlist=2)

I hope that all you guys are having a great Weekend

[Drkepoch]

First off, EMC: Knight Seeker looks like he's coming along great! The armor looks awesome. :eek:

On to the Bad Stuff... :(

I knew I said earlier that i would have photos of me in the nearly finished suit by Sunday, but (and this always happens when you set a deadline for yourself) I've run into much trouble. Mainly with the lenses. My original plan of whitening the lenses has not worked so that has been a major delay. Also the fact that the tip of one of them broke has been a huge delay.
I am taking everything in stride though, and I've set up a new date to take photos. I hope to have the completed suit (excluding webshooters) done and photographed by Tuesday Aug 12.
I am also redoing my entire site and when I finish it there will be another huge load of photos up about how I've done the webbing.

I hate delays... :(

[SpidEMC]

I have had my share of that here and there, as most of us have had on this board. Hey we will get things done even if it takes a little more time. We are our own bosses there is not set time scale to what we do. I say dont worry about and show the best thing that you can when you are ready.

Good luck with getting the suit to the way you want it. I am sure that we are all behind you.

[blaze269]

OK Kiwi I tried twice to pm you. Shoot me a pm bro would ya?

[SpiderTime]

Greeting humans. It's me again, Ben Clone :spidey:, Carnage :venom:, The Punisher :unishr:, Neo :cool:, call me whatcha want. So how are things, I see alot of new names on this thread, I haven't been around here in like 3 months. So what's going on. Someone, besides EMC, update. Gimme some feedback on my pics. What do you guys think. I have more on the way you know. Later folks.

God out.:ghost:

[spiderman boy]

Kiwi, sent u an email.

Spidertime, ur pics were awesome, i liked the matrix one. Also, the punisher was f***** awesome!

[SpiderTime]

thanks dude

[Zendragon]

Thanks for the info everyone and I will be looking into it! With any luck I can be up and running very soon

[LoganX5142]

Glad to see you're still humble, Ben. The Matrix thing was cool. But the positioning /choreography could've been more sharp. The agents you're fighting most times don'tlook like they're looking at you. Or they look like they could be reacting to your strikes, stances, or the backround better. It's cool. And if you can give pointers to the other spider-men on how to enhance their pics...great. But I guess I would say just work on the "interaction" of your photo-manip subjects.
You comming with Emc to this year's Dragoncon? It's like no other con, man. :wolverine

[KIWISPIDER]

WOOHOO, i just got accepted into SFX school :D
I start in October, its one of only 6 SFX creature shops in the world ;)

[SpiderTime]

you bet yer ass im coming to dragon con. i got a different costume for every day of the week. by the way, as far as my matrix pics go, i tried my hardest, and short from yelling at my agents, i didnt have much to work with. i dont have any professional photographers, its amature hour over here. but i assure you im working on that.

anyhoo.

spideys of the net, one word....... PHOTOSHOP!!!!!! get it, learn it, love it, live it. photoshop cures all ailments and makes everything cooler than it is, except for me, im just cool by the myself:D . so yeah, anyone who wants their photos to look more than a picture taken in a friend's back yard or living room, GET PHOTOSHOP. by the way, tripods, and sets help. scout a cool set and choreograph what yer gonna do before you do it. be sure yer aware of what positions you look best in, and which ones make you look fat or whatever. this way you will know what poses to not make. ok im outta here. later.

[SpidEMC]

The words of a the mighty Animations student. :cool:

Oh yeah PS I send out my Knight Seeker Costume to add the dull gold lycra onto the foam areas.

Last PS well I keep this a little quiet with more details later, but one of the costume designers for the Spiderman Movie Costumes for both movies one and two, wants to take a look at the Knight Seeker project. He saw me in suit at Comic Con had to take a picture real badly :) then we started to talk when he wanted to find out more about the costume and what I do. Then he showed me his profolio and yeah he is one of the guys that works on the actually movie costumes ;)
His job with the costumes are done and now he is looking for a new venture, and mines will probably something he may seriously take a look at. Will tell you guys more later.

[eLuSiVeSpDrMaN]

Hey Elusive here ....

wow, all your stuff looks great ...
hey, sorry i was out for a while .... I was in Cleveland .....
don't worry, it was all about a girl!

[Drkepoch]

Kiwi: Great to hear man, hope it all goes well ;)

Spidertime: I have photoshop, I just don't have the time to learn it :D But yeah, listen to him folks. Photoshop is a must have.

EMC: That is so cool I can't even think of what to say :cool:

[mrj]

i just got photoshop 7 its pretty intuitive to use if youve already got a creative mind, wich counts us all in i guess, theres plenty of books available to make life more easy, . kiwi good news man and good luck, by the way any idea on how much a basic unwebbed unlensed suit would be, would maybe like to throw some business your way, my sewing is garbage as is my mothers machine, starting on my first full suit but have a feeling this sewing malarky aint for me, i can sew a mask but need to be able to do a zig zag stitch which this thing cant oh well such is life!!!!

[KIWISPIDER]

thanks for your well wishes guys, is really excited.. for my personal assessment i wanna make the lizard ;) whether that is viable or not i dont know yet..
mrj drop me an email superherocloset@hotmail.com and i can give you some prices

[Spider Tim 7]

Whose yo daddy? LOL

http://hometown.aol.com/spiderman4fun/lookup.jpeg

[SpidEMC]

Another great picture from Tim, you gotta love the suit he has, I think him and Spider-Ham should be making suits in a workshop together I would like to know what they come up with.

WebShooters off to you Tim

[Drkepoch]

That's awesome Tim :)

Oh, and I agree completely with EMC

[Zendragon]

Hey guys,

As I come closer to figuring out which way to go for a suit, I have these few questions to bounce off to the veterans here.
1. How is the heat factor? Are the suits hot or breathable?
2. How do you wash them? By hand?
3. I have seen one guy use a web bag so he could carry his stuff, anyone do anything else?
4. How long do you guys wear them for, I plan to use mine for Cons.

I think that is about it...thanks for the input.

[Drkepoch]

I can only really help you with the heat factor and the washing...
1. I live in Minnesota :) So I don't think mine is very hot. Hotter climates might be different, however.
2. Always wash by hand very gently. Machine washing can damage the fabric. Always air dry too, using a dryer will most definitely damage your suit!

I hope these have been helpful :)

P.S. I finally got my new glasses :) I'm so happy :)

[Frank_McKeever]

I got my new suit! :) I wanted to post pics but I'm not sure how to host them, or where to host them at...any help would be great.

I wore my costume for four hours the other day, and went to my aunt's house and a few friend's houses, plus my work. It wasn't that bad! It was actually pretty comfortable if you ask me...lightweight too.

If I carry my suit with me, I put it in a backpack and usually have my normal clothes on. Then, when I change out, the normal clothes go in the backpack, but I don't bring it with me. You gotta hide it somewhere...:( I can't think of any better way...

[LoganX5142]

Hey Zendragon-
I've worn plenty of spandex in my time. And I've worn a Spiderman suit a couple of times. The Spiderman suits are some of the hottest regular spandex suits out there. 'Cause they cover your entire body. If you live Minnesota it might not be as bad as Florida. In Florida you can still wear them at cons. Because they are air conditioned. But the second you step out side you'll probably spontaniously combust. (Except for about 3 weeks out of the year)Form what I've seen at cons you should be able to walk around and pose for pictures for about 4 hours at a time.
Web bags are cool. You can make 'em or buy 'em. One of the guys that was a movie spiderman at last year's Dragoncon actualy had a small pocket over the center of his butt. Juts big enough for a photo ID, a credit card and some cash. You could do that I guess. He had a 3 inch horizontal zipper running along the bottom of the red waiste strip. Where it met the blue. You would never see it in a picture. And that zipper hole lead to a pocket.

[Drkepoch]

Now that's a cool idea :)

[Zendragon]

Thanks Logan...I think we met at Comic Con. I was Wolverine on one day and we did a bunch of Ultimate X Men photos when I was Cyclops (over near Stan Lee's Booth), my wife was Jean Grey and the Black Cat

4 hours isn't bad. I had no trouble with the Cyclops suit and that stretch PVC doesn't breath as much as regular spandex. But once you cover your head...that changes everything. I would imagine that pulling the mask down once in a while helps.

I can't imagine being in the Bat suits that those guys over at Gotham Public Works wear. That has got to be hot.

[dorcphish]

Actually, those batsuits breath better than you may think. Sure, the lycra undersuit is coated with latex to match the latex armor pieces but the entire back is left open. The GPW guys use the same technique. I wonder if anyone had considered making a spidey-suit out of latex coated spandex??

[Zendragon]

Hmmm, good to know.

[Spider Tim 7]

Is there a website where I can get info on the comic con that is in Atlanta this month? I may go becuase Atlanta is only 6 hours from me. Thanks for any onfo.

Hellooooo Spiderfans!!!!

How are you all!!! Well, first i will introduce myself..... my name is Mikel and I am a 19 years old medicine student who lives in the basque country, in the north part of Spain. I Like music, surf, girls, pizza and Spiderman!!!! yeahhhh!!!! Since I was really young I like spiderman, and i always wanted the costume.... but my parents used to buy me superman ones...... snif snif.... anyway, some time ago I decided to get a costume by Myself, but all the ones I find look like PIJAMAS!!!! the are so -----, they are not tight like the comic, the movie or your ones!!!! sooooooo, I decided that the only way of having a good tight spiderman costume was doing it by myself.... I started searching on the net and i found plenty of interesting website like tims one or www.spider-costume.de, where I got many ideas for the costume!!! then I asked Tim an eric (knoght seeker) some questions for mi difficult work.... and Eric sent me here to fin the information; the thing is that there is soooooo much information here that i would need over 2 weeks to read all what you have written during these years!!!!!

sooooo, i think is better if i ask the questions and maybe one of you can help me..... lets goooooo!!!!

I am going to buy 2 lycras, one blue and one red.... what kind of special lycra do i have to ask for in the shop???? the next thing is... how do I stick the red lycra into the blue one????? Tim told me to sewn them, but I dont know how to sewn!!! is not any kind of glue?????????

Another problem is the webbing... Tim told me something about acrylic paint, how do I use it???? where do I buy it????It wont go away with the cleaning and the washing?????

The final problem is the mask, how do I get my head shape for it???? and the eyes..... I dont really like the mirror eyes, is there anything white like in the comics???? and the most important thing, is the anything white that let me see, but dont let anyone see my eyes????????

I will be looking for your help, cos i would like to start now that i have holydays!!!! please, help me with the problems

-Which kind of lycra buy
-How do I stick the red to the blue one
-Webbing (acrylic???)
-mask shape
-white eyes
-is not the costume too fragile for the washing and cleaning????


thanks a lot!!!! i will be around here since these day!! and i will sent you photos when i finish my costume!!! my email adress is mikel_luzuriaga@hotmail.com and my web site http:usuarios.lycos.es/lurzuri where will find some photos!!!

Hey and I could do Green Lantern, but hey I got the Knight Seeker suit being done, the Shiny Spidey suit that we are doing the mask alterations to next week, Lets see Also Jax from Mortal Combat, I may have a Superman suit but a different style just thinking about the design, Venom non-monster mask - the monter mask is really hard to deal with the regualr mask is much better, Selling the Alex Ross suit I believe not sure yet. OH yeah and lastly :) the original Spider-Knight Suit that I was planning o have the drawings done for marvel of my idea. The story still sits here in my room, I would just like to see how the suit will look ;)

Well ZenDragon, and Brin Welcome aboard the USS Dragon Con.


PS Mikel- Spiderboy happy to see that you made it here. I am sure the guys can help in your venture. As for me I am not a maker I am more of a concept designer when it comes to suits.


PS 2 Does anyone know of a Host I can use for the Knight Seeker Website? The host most be able to play web movies also.
I was hoping the German Spider or Imurme would be able to help with this or anyone else. Thank you for your attention.

[Zendragon]

Cheap domain names:

http://www.cheap-discount-domain-names.biz/main.html

Decent hosters:

www.wehostwebpages.com
www.readyhosting.com

Just to name two. I have had amazing support from Readyhosting, they don't support my message forum or MySql though if you ever want to run a forum. But otherwise, I run video clips, tons of photos, they don't monitor bandwidth and they run stable. I have a busy site too and no issues with them.

[SpidEMC]

Cool I will look into those suggestions for the Web Page for Knight Seeker's site.

Thanks so much for your time Zendragon

[LoganX5142]

Zen- Hey man how's it been goin? I wanted to talk to you more about the spy site you were telling me about in San Diego. Hope you guys had a great time. It was awesome meetin' up with ya. And the resy of your X-team. God willin' I'll have a new Wolverine suit for DC.
Dorcphish- Have you ever worn one tof those suits? Yeah the back is open. But then it's covered by the cape. And most of those guys from the brotherhood fo the bat wear dive suits underneath all that latex. AND than ,as if that wasn't bad enough, your head is covered by a latex cowl. There's no were for your sweet to go except out the face opening. Thiose suits are great for losing about 2 pounds a day. I had a bat suit and that Daredevil suit. And it'll be a looong time before I ever wear anything like those again.

[action_j]

There is a really cool site that specializes in making spiderman suits, the address is: http://members.aol.com/mzw8/mw8spidey.htm

[KIWISPIDER]

Actually action_j that site has been up for years, i remember when Margaret actually started making the spidey suits... i got an email from her the other day, and it looks like they are taking orders again..

[blaze269]

I have one of her suits. They are pretty well made actually and yes they do look good on! I like that spider girl costume that they have now. I wish that they had that one for us guys as well. I always thought the spider was way cool on that suit. Then I see scarlet spider on there. I guess I'll be up for one of those as well by then. Still have to get my SM2 suit first.

[Zendragon]

LoganX5142,

Drop me an e-mail and we can talk about that project. Or we will talk at DC. zendragon@adventurersplace.com

Well time to work on my Original Spider-Knight Costume, not to be confused with Knight Seeker.

Talk to you guys later.

OH and Zendraon we are going to talk once we get to Dragon Con, I hope you get there by Thursday so we can have some time to see about our projects, I think we should cross network our ideas a little when it comes to web stuff, but we will talk later about that.

[blaze269]

Who's design was it for the male version of the spidergirl suit that M. Waite is offering now? I cannot think of it for some reason.

[EvH347]

[mrj]

evh great suit dude,what did you use for the lenses they look sweet.

[blaze269]

DAMN IT MAN! That suit just ROCKS bro! and Nice job with the pics as well!

[SpidEMC]

yeah Evh gotta love that suit also, you guys are looking great, I just hope that the knight seeker suit turns out okay.

[mikel_luzuriaga]

HI spiders!!!!!

How are you all??? here i am going with my spider costume... i am waiting to receive the body lycras and i have to go to look for the acrylic paint for the webbing.

Hey... i though about some new ideas for the costumes... maybe you like them: for the boots i am going to use my surf boots; i am going to stick them to the lycra, using a super strong glue, becouse the are cheap, confortable for walking and they have the same shape as the spiderman ones!!! (you one, like a triangle)

The next idea i wanted to tell you was about the mask and the spider eyes. Somebody told me about automotive tint. I have been thinking about motorcicle helmets.... well, not the helmet, the crystal or that plastic piece where you look through the helmet (i dont know the english name). Well, there are some of those pieces that are like mirrors, but they are made up from platic so it is easier to work with and also cheap, beacouse you can just buy that piece in a motorcicle shop, you can buy the piece, cut it with a cutter and put them in the mask

i hope you enjoy my ideas for the suits. I will start with my one as soon as i receive the lycras and i will send you pictures as soon as i finish my costume!!!

good luck!!

mikel - the spiderboy

[SpidEMC]

Sounds like a good start Mikel Spiderboy, good luck on your project.

As for me working on Superman suit today I hope to have some pics up later on tonight

[peterparker0077]

hey ben clone, you know Bruce Cambell came down to tampa and he talked at USF, my school, and we were his security guards for the night, we hung out for awhile. ;)

[PeterParker3k]

Hi Everyone, :)
Well I had my very first Spiderman Appearance and it was awesome. Recently I traveled over to the Space Coast and I found an old space ship with this black ooze on it. I touched the ooze and look what happened. I wonder if the guys at Nasa know. Adorned in my new Black suit I swung my way over the cityscape and met up with Logan and PeterParker. Wolverine and Spiderman were awesome to hang around with. They showed me the webs and I had a blast. I will be at DragonCon, and I look forward to seeing everyone, and their cool suits.
EMC, great suit! I can’t wait to see it. It’s really great how you're explaining your suit and the progression of its creation. It’s great to see a sketch become reality. You’re doing a great job.
SpiderTim NICE! That suit is GREAT. Thanks for the posts, it’s great to see. Everyone else’s suits look awesome too.

Hey PeterParker3k, I am glad you got the suit nice and ready to show, and peterparker0077 is great to hang around along with all of his friends, I am fortunate to be part of that group even though I am so far away. And thanks for the compliments on my project I hope to have the Knight Seeker suit done by the end of next week.

To all the rest We need to see more pix :D

[LoganX5142]

OKay it's been a few days I got some catchin' up to do.
1) Emc with hair is weirdin' me out. But cool Jax.
2) Tygron is awesome. I'd love for him to meet my character. Gotta get some pics with him. HIs suit looks similar to the Wolverine I'll be showing for the first time at DC.
3) Ben- You Punisher is pretty sharp, bub. Great pics. Gotta get you and Capt.Chaos together. Sorta like a comic/movie shot.
4)PP3k. Glad you had a good time. Consider that a warm up for DC. You were tlaking about wanting to hang with me? Well there's a party at DC that you'll get your first chance. I tell ya what. I'll even be nice enought to carry ya back to your room, after you're drunk under the table.
5)Zen I sent that email.
6) And that's for everyone going to DC. There's a party that wasn't there last year but is back this year. Shils. Check it out at Shils.com I pormise it's the best party at DC. And it's free. The booze, the woman, the dancing (if there's room). And it's all free. They got a tip jar at the FREE bar. But other than that it's free.
I'm gonna be putting that healin' factor to the test.

[SpidEMC]

BOOYAH!!!!! I'm there drink, music and the girls yummy. make sure we have a few Brown Playboy Bunnies there, I would like to see the girls with brown rabbit ears on :D

[blaze269]

I checked for shils.com and got nothing. I'd like to meet some of ya at DC as well.

[LoganX5142]

Oh they'll be there. Standing around the smooth criminal dressed like Morpheus.
And don't put Shils into a search engine. Just type www.shils.com into you address bar. Than go to the messages section, look for the thread shilsatdragoncon. Than Dragoncon 2003. Put if you're going.So we know to look out for ya. Ben, Emc, PP3K, Blaze, Zen, all y'all. We gonna party like it's 199...damnit.:wolverine

[blaze269]

That was what I had done but for some reason it didn't come up. I'm gonna try to make it there. I may and may not take my spidey suit. I haven't kept up with hardly anything this year except making my star wars props and needless to say my stomache needs a chainsaw taken to it. At least I'm honest with you guys.

[blaze269]

Dang it! Now one of my lenses slipped and got plastic welder on the visible area! A motorcycle shop should have something that can be used shouldn't it? Or a welders clear face mask and window tint? Also should I cut out the original eyes of the suit? It's a margaret waite suit.

[PeterParker3k]

Hey Logan, Sounds like a plan. Since you have the healin factor you might just have to drag this Spidey back to his room. My Spider Sense will be on hyper drive at Dragon Con. :spidey:

EMC, yeah PeterParker0077, Logan and the rest of the gang are great friends to hang around with. It will be great to meet up with you at Dragon Con. Thanks about the suit. Good Luck with your suit this week.

[SpidEMC]

We are going to have a ball, wait til you meet my crew ;)

[SpidEMC]

I see someone has some time on their hands :) Nice going EVH.

As for me its a shame that the RTV stuff did not adhere to the black lycra suit for my Spider-Knight Costume. But When I pulled it off it did keep it's shape and it kept flexability. So I think I will try this out I will squeeze outlines of the clear silicone onto some wax paper. Then I will paint the silicone with the gold jones tones puffy paint. After that I will put glue onto the suit for the parts I want the webbing on, then apply the silicone that is painted. I hope that works :confused: Oh well we will see by the weekend


AND ZEN DRAGON I will be there around early afternoon as well. Will see you there Bro.

[SpiderTime]

HEY EVAH, SWEET SHOTS. FINALY SOMEONE IS LEARNING HOW TO USE THE COMPUTER TO THEIR ADVANTAGE. ANYHOO...

LOGAN, GLAD YOU LIKE MY STUFF. AS I SAID BEFORE, THERES MORE TO COME. THERE ALWAYS IS. WHAT DID YALL THINK ABOUT ERIC AS SUPERMAN?

BY THE WAY, I HAVE SOME ASH SHOTS COMING LATER. ILL GET THEM UP ASAP.

LATER GUYS.

[Drkepoch]

Yes. Very nice EVH. :D Ya make me look bad :)

Anyway. I'm in the process of remaking my site, and I'm very close to being done. I hope to finish it up by early next week. I will have the finished tutorial pics up then. The suit still needs a little work, but it's turned out pretty good for my being a novice.

Here's a little pic for ya :D

Thanks to EVH for all of his help :)

[Parker252]

Wow! That is a smart looking suit. Really unique! Love the red web pits.

[EvH347]

Drkepoch,
It was a pleasure to help out.

I've gotta finish up these pics before college resumes because after that, my time will be severly limited. The "Spidey in the Fog" has been the toughest one to get looking right.

Have you fellas seen this?

I could really care less what people think ... it's too much fun to give up just 'cause someone thinks it's weird or dumb. I meant no offense to anyone. I seriously think anyone who can make one of these costumes is an artist in their own right. It takes a lot of time, effort, research and money to do it right.

Funny how the people who think only a geek would dress up as a comic book/movie character are the same people asking to pose with us for pictures though, huh?

[SpidEMC]

well in all honesty now adays people have very little imagination, or drive to see things as they could be, not as they are presently. Originality is another thing that is really lacking now adays also. I just wish people would open their minds more instead of watching tV all the time, and pick up a good book. WELL LETS HOPE THEY PICK UP MINES TOO ;)

But anyway its good that you like what we do and I hope you will have your own type of superhero suit some day, who says it has to be Spidey anyway? :)

Ash- Oh boy have you guys ever met Ben-Clone in person? OH boy are you guys in for a treat :D It will be my job to keep Spider-Time aka Ben-Clone and PeterParker0077 seperated since I know those two will be at it the whole convention. I will just stand in the middle to make sure these two dont get out of control. As for you Logan I hope you got my back I may need you if I cant grab the two of them to keep their heads on the ground. :D

ZenDragon we will be talking on Thursday when I get there.

PP3k time is getting close Dragon Con is like Lah-lah land for us, or the big rush :eek:

And to all others watch out for my group we plan to kick all *** , well you know :p

amen to that !! if your looking for quality artisans this is the thread to be at.

[LoganX5142]

I got yer back. PP0077 'll be on his best behavior. This is his 3rd DC. It's Ben you otta be worried about.

Ben- Awesome Ash, man. Where'd you find that boom stick?

[Zendragon]

Dude, your Ash rocks!

[LoganX5142]

Man that guy's got a sweet Ash! ....What?

[SpiderTime]

glad ya like the pics. i got some mystique pics comin up real soon. youll like em. trust me. later.

[SpiderTime]

i bought the shot gun at a costume store, and sawed off the barrells. the chainsaw was actually the real tricky part. by the way, eric, im gonna beat yer ass. you know i can control myself boy.

[SpidEMC]

Self control is something that you will have to work on my young Jedi :p

[peterparker0077]

since when am i the one who needs to be under control??

anyway, just wondering when everyone will be wearing they're different outfits at DC?

i think i will ultimate cyclops most of the time, and throw on my spidey some time. what about you all?

[SpiderTime]

well this is my dress schedule for dc:

day 1- punisher

day 2- human spider and ash

day 3- neo and possible subzero

day 4- comander n (original) might change to any other. depends on my mood.

if im able to, ill go as carnage also. im working on a new suit. i may or may not be done in time.

[Drkepoch]

Genltlemen, I do expect to see some great photos out of this :D I'd like to know what I'm missing...and what I can expect next year :D

[PeterParker3k]

Hey EMC, I can see the excitement building. It's very cool. DC is gonna to be a blast. The Rush is ON. How's the Knight Seeker coming along?

Drkepoch Nice suit. Great Job. Blue is always Cool.

PeterParker0077, I will be in my Alien Spiderman suit, and of course my PeterParker Suit. ;)

[KIWISPIDER]

hmmmm... i just finished superman, if i get time with all the costumes i am making people for halloween i might be able to get a photoshoot done.
Just so you guys know, if you want a suit with SFX on it, i.e. painting or other time consuming effects, i am not taking any more orders for halloween this year, however, if you just want a bodysuit or something that is just sewing, i can probibly still fit a couple more orders in.

Well costume designer just called me up, she wants to work on the whole thing today and ship it out to me. She is really excited about the whole thing, and her husband is flipping out about the suit, he may want one since he likes mid-evil type of look just that mines is just of a Knight type of today. Those two are excited about where the character goes from here, but also they are in line to carry my personal stamp of my costumes to be made by them for sell to customers.

Lets see hmm Spider-Time aka Ben-Clone is working on my costume SpiderKnight today. (he just called damn he's quick gota leave now :eek: ) Yes the orginal Spiderknight that was meant for Marvel comics til I altered the looks and his powers, along with this better origin story that now Knight Seeker has. Cant wait to get that suit done today.

Last and certinly not at all the least what so ever. Had a late lunch with my private editor. This guy is really really really awesome. He did not just correct any sentence structure he actually got himself so invovled with the story that he actully remembered stuff from other chapters as he was editting and waiting to se how things developed or see if a reader that may read it will have questions about the way I was telling the story. He is going to be with me long term I think. He is young and has a great personality but he is also up on current words and phrases of the younger crowd, that is a great advantage to have him working on my project. He also wants to look into editting the web movie script we will start working on after Dragon Con.

I must say a lot of things are going on I am just lucky to have a gifted hand of people working with me throw this, but also they are not foolish they have seen things come and go, and fly by night stuff, but this project is something that sweeps them away and they want to see this thing make it to the top, so I am happy to have the characters and the stories that will hopefully in all good time make that possible.

EMC the mask and the suit rocks.
Yep, les than a week. Any one here goin' wanna be in the parade saturday at 10 am? I sent an email to the person in charge saying some comic characters wanted to join. So if yer up and not hung over, jump in.:wolverine

[EvH347]

EMC...I like that mask very much. Give us a close up of those eyes, they look "alienish".

This is going to be the last pic from me for awhile. College kicks in tomorrow and I should have my finances back in order to get me back in the air and finish up my instrument pilot rating. After that, it's busy busy busy into the commercial training.

I had some serious fun playing with Photoshop this summer. It's too bad I still got a few pics of myself up my sleeve that I just didn't get around to finishing. If I get a moment here or there, I'll try to throw one up here. In the meantime...enjoy my "Streetlight Spidey".

Very cool, Evh. Your photoshop is second to no-one else I know.
BTW Evh: I have calc 121, spee 100, HP 190, AET 102+160. Are you taking any of these classes? :D

I'm out guys. I have to get back to redesigning Sin :)

[SpidEMC]

Back to class man what a quick summer I guess you are saying to yourself EVH. You do good work and I like it, and I will have more pics of the Original Spider Knight Suit while at the convention.

Time is getting close :)

[blaze269]

Well I am running out of time so I'll ask here. My inbox is totally empty but claims to be full. PP0077 or anyone else, would you say it is a good or bad move to remove the grey mesh from the eyes of my MW suit to put chromed lenses on it? I don't want to ruin it by allowing any odd stretching or anything.

[LoganX5142]

You could check this place out.

Out of foil. They look great. And are easy to take care of.

[blaze269]

I have the lenses and frames that I got a long time ago. I just had to re-tint them after the glue got out of line. BTW the link goes to just a page with nothing but an email link. Thanks though for the effort.

[SpidEMC]

Been running all around toget things done, and even took my wooden sword to have it modified today so I can carry the Knight Seeker sword around. I hope the job turns out well. Me and Tygron wilalso enter the costume contest to do some advertising for the characters. This will be a fun adventure and my suit should look great once we attach the pieses back in place. All the other costumes will be fine as well. Well time to get busy guys, let's make this year at Dragon Con be the most remembered :D

I´m still working on my suit... i know... a long time now. :)
But i guess, i will finish it in the next weeks.

First i have to say: Cool clips Spy-D. May be you can take some shoots outside?

The next: Two pics of what i´m working on at the moment.

And: When i can´t find a better and a more easy way to do the raised webbing i will never do it again... i promise. :D

[Spider Tim 7]

Thanx... it´s difficult for me to explain how i made the webbing. But i will make a "how to" with pics in the next days.

Spy-D,

You sure like looking at yourself in the mirror don'tcha? LOL

Just playing---the suit looks great. Let's see some action vids though.

And Spider-Tim,

So you've decided to return to crime fightin' have you? Well, glad to hear it. We can always use another good guy out there helping to make it safe.

I tip my badge to you brother.

Anybody have any DC spider-man pictures? I didn't get to go and I'm dying to see all the pics I can.

[blaze269]

Here are some of both my spidey suit and my TK/TD armor.

[Spider Tim 7]

Someone is passing off my spidey suit as their own and trying to auction it off using my website pictures. This is tripping me out, but mostly I am concerned about people thinking its me. What should I do?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2190660987&category=48776

This is not my auction but the pictures are of my suits and this particular suit is not for sale. He is using three different suits to sell one. Go figure.

[SpiderManYetter]

Tim,

Are you sure this isnt one of the suits you sold? The feedback of the seller is pretty good and a substantial history.

[EvH347]

Tim,
Uh yeah, I'd be concerned too. As someone who is familiar with your work, I was just as confused as you probably were.

Here's what you do...first contact the seller and inquire WTF is going on. I took a look and the seller is clearly misrepresenting the product. Even if it was one of your suits, the seller should not be using your pics to advertise it without your consent, nor should the seller be using three different pics to advertise one suit.

If you get nowhere with the seller, then I might suggest you follow the links below to determine what further steps are necessary:

I had to do the reduction. My gf always said, that it´s enough, if only one of us have some breats. And i like hers more... :)

Thanx... still working on the suit.

[mrj]

tim is that cheeky sod using pictures of you on ebay, seems like
ebay needs to look into that $2500 is one hell of a lot to lose to a potential conman or at very least a plagarist, ripping of anothers art and passing it off as your own is a very low act ineed.

[Spider Tim 7]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2190660987&category=48776

The suit is not a suit that I have sold in the past and is thus being resold. If that were the case then pictures of my suit from my website are not necessary.

Also, I have not sold a suit to anyone in NJ. As well, I have had some friends ask this guy questions and he responds that he needs 7-8 weekes to get the suit made after he sells it.

I now understand what he's up to.

We'll see how his auction goes and thus what happens.

[EvH347]

Sounds to me like the guy is trying to play "middle-man". He charges somebody $2500 (that is if someone goes for the "buy it now") and takes that to pay you $1000 for your suit.

You deliver him the suit to his specifications and he delivers the suit to somebody else...and he gets the $1500 profit.

Either way, the minimum is $1500 and he's going to make something of a profit if this is the seller's plan.

I mean come on...the seller is using all three suits to sell just one type and then uses your exact phrasing to sell the suit. He acts as though he's the one who is going to make the suit and the way I see it...the seller intends to use you down the road to fullfill the order.

I wonder what he would do if you turned him down? It'd be kind of hard to turn down any type of sale though wouldn't it?

I still don't like the fact that the seller uses your method of advertising to sell a product that is yours and without your permission. The whole thing stinks. I think if I were you, I would demand that the seller clarify the auction details and if the seller refused...I wouldn't hesitate to report it to fraud. No matter how you look at it, whoever is stupid enough to bid on that is not going to get what is in those pictures and they are not going to get a product exactly as described in that auction.

It's a total shame when a fella like you gets used like that. PLEASE, don't let the few bad apples out there stop what you're doing. You inspire us all and deserve the best. You have my support in whatever you do. Good luck Tim.

DRAGON CON 2003 (http://groups.msn.com/SpiderKnighttm/drgoncon2003.msnw?Page=1)

What all you guys were waiting on. I hope you guys like it, and the Knight Seeker suit truend out great thanks to Spider-Time and my costume maker in Iowa.

[webslinger922]

Hey Tim,
Is the seller using pics copied from your site, or is he putting traffic on your Sites pics? If he is using your links then here is something you can do. Once he has a bid , go and change the pictures but use the same address. Then when someone goes to his auction all they are going to see is whatever picture you have up. You have to do this only after somebody has placed a bid,because once a bid has been placed the seller can't change his listing, he can only change his listing up until sombody has placed a bid. And you can change your pics because they are yours. My brother told me about this when sombody was using his pics and putting alot of traffic on the server that he was renting space on. If you were to put some porn pics up the seller would then get into trouble for having porn in his listing and he'd have a heck of a time trying to explain that he was stealing sombodyelse's material.

[dorcphish]

EMC- That Knight Seeker suit is amazing. What did you use for the golden armor parts?
