hiya,

well that is a great looking suit and a shame to let it go. but again, if you could sell it off for a higher price then what you originally pay for , then you would have more money to create a better and more realistic suit. although a shame that you have to sacrifice such a great suit, but a applaude you on your desisision and wish you the best of luck.

i will begin my ultimate spidy suit project when i recive the webbing from Bobby C. i will keep every one here posted ony my progress as it happen.

have a nice day.

haniel roswell

[Glsmatt-Spider]

Thats exactly what I want to do haniel. By the way, is bobbys webs for the entire suit(body,neck,head,legs,etc) besides the front and back spider? Please answer this haniel or bobby or anyone who is purchasing the webs from him. Also, is the material that hes using sturdy and wont crack or break apart?

hi,

the webbing which ia m purchasing from bobby is semi complete. meaning that it does not include the shest spider and lenses. those can be purchase seperately.

the material use for the webbing is latex and siad to be more flexible as it stretches with your boby. i think latex should be ok. i mean unless you are planning to swing from building to building, it should last. i mean it not every day i will be wearing the suit any way right? more likely i will place as a display piece.

hey bobby,

so how's the website site coming along? we all dying to see your masterful work of art. if not, we, then it's just me. do keep us inform.

hey..hey~ cool! it's always refreshing to know that you ain't the only one living in a country with out walmart and sears;) hahah

well i wouldn't say a car ride away. more like a 2 hour flight and and 15 minute at the MRT to be excact.

but it's really a pleasure to know you Xeno. i am a frequent traveller and had made several trip to singapore to meet up with friends. so this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
and it would has seem that you are also persueing a spidey suit your self. good for you. most people here would think oddly of me persueing such childish act. but to hell with them. usually i would not want to purchase some thing if i felt that i could get it here or made it my self. but sadly, non of the material that Bobby C use for his suit is available here. i've turn the entire town upside down looking for the basic latex subbstance with out much success.
so i have noce other choice but to purchase them seperately. i've already reserve my order with Bobby C for one set of latex webbing which i can't wait to recieve them.

regarding the question you had about the webbing. the webbing that Bobby C is offering are semi complete. meaning eberything is included with the exception of the chest spider and the polorized lense which can be purchase seperately.
since i am buying each piece of the costume seperately, i am exercieing my option as to who have the best what and at the best price.
i like the lense that Bobby C is offering, but i would much prefer to stat true to the original and go with white lense instead. that part, spiderman ham could probably help me out. ham also have the chest spider that i like. i haven't contacted spiderman ham yet. so the price is still unclear to me.

regarding your other question which too i was concern about are the durability of the latex webbing compare to urethene. well i had address this matter with Bobby C and he told me that latex is cheaper then urethene and stretches with your body movement. the original movie costume worn by tobey are also made out of latex. i guess with latex, you have to be a little bit more careful wheh you run around with it. although latex is design to stretch with your body natural movement, there is still a tendency that latex will break. this is one of the problem that the original suit has, that it keep on breaking and there have to check the webbing after every take to fix any breakage. edvidence of such matter can been seen on ebay at the official auction spiderman 2 props and costume. you will notice that all frame costume pieces with latex webbing have breakage.
urethene although expensive, is more durable. not as flexible as latex, but would probably be more tolerable and won't break that easy. of course that is just my theory. you have tp take this matter up with Bobby c your self.
Bobby C is also offering another webbing set which i think would probably include the chest spider and the lenses and the webbing would most likely be made out of urethene.

i hope i had help answer your questions. if not or if you have further enquiry, you could always pm him. Bobby C is a great guy and would be more then happy to help you out with any questions you might have.

once again, it was nice knowing you xeno. and hope to see more you on this forum for many years to come.

Hi, nice knowing you too. ;) Even if there isn't a Wal-Mart here, you could always go to Giant or Tops. Anyway, you can find the correct color of spandex down here in Singapore, at Spotlight. The color's I'm using for my suit is Blood Red and Royal Blue, they match really well. I am trying to get my hands on the original thermal transfer sheets used in the movie and the original white lycra for that as well. Anyway, Matt, how much did Spider Ham's eye holders and lense cost ?

Thanks. :)

hi Xeno,

well perharp you could find the material fabric use for your suit there in singapore. but you certainly can't find it here as far as i'm concern.

but that a good suggestion. i mean singapore may not be just a drive away. but since i am a frequent traveller to singapore, i might take some time to look for it while i am there.

hmmm.. royal blue huh?... well that correct. on the first suit there created, there use blood red and navy blue. that is for the first movie. for the second movie, there were some changes made on the duit and among one of them was the blue part of the costume. they have to reink the fabric to make the colour more light. but regardless, there is no right way or wrong way of doing this suit.

hope to see your suit on this forum real soon.

have a nice day...

I've seen his website before, and I think that would be the best route to take for the Scarlet Spidey suit. He's a nice guy, and they have good service and products. I've ordered a few things from them in the past. Goodluck with your costumes!

[eledoremassis02]

For halloween I am considering to go as Spiderman, but I do not really like the costumes out... the tie in the back and such.. I am wondering if I should buy a halloween costume and altering it or making one by scratch.. if so here are some questions.


Costume made from store bought -
1) What should I do about the mask? eyes and such *want refletive*
(Raised webbing, gloves, boots, ect.)

2) Should I use zippers in back? (How can I hide it?)

3) Should I sell it on Ebay when done or keep?
Example (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32991&item=3829412123&rd=1)


Home made -
1) What type of fabric should I use?

2) What should I do abot the mask? (Should I buy one?)

4) How should I use the raised webbing?

5) Sizeing?

6) Should I sell it on Ebay or keep?

7) How much will this coast and am I crazzy?

Please answer questions with the Subject so I know wich one

Hi guys, could someone help me out by telling how to apply the back spider on ? I was thinking of using heat and bond for the back spider, but by ironing it it will destroy the fabric right ? Oh yes, how about airbrushing fabric paint ?

http://www.spider-costumes.de/testpics/suitback.jpg

My back spider was airbrushed by a professional airbrusher. He did a good work but, some of you may remember, he made a litte mistake. He had to iron the brushed color and damaged the fabric. But he also did a good job and repaired it.

[Xeno]

Thanks, how did he repair the fabric ?

[Germanspider]

He took a piece of the blue fabric, glued it with special glue behind the hole and ironed it. This time he was very carefull... otherwise i thought of killing him :D

hey Xeno,

not bad for a 12 years old. i like what you did with the chest spider. not 100% accurate to the real spider, but a very unique version of it

good job

haniel roswell

[Xeno]

Yeah, I did it on purpose, it's a prototype of a Hybrid of Tim, Hams and Bob's spider. I'll be remaking the chest spider.

hi Xeno,

btw, what is the material you use for the chest spider? is it foamy? and what about the lense? did you use foamy for the frame as well?

haniel roswell

[Xeno]

Yes, I did use foamies, by mine was rubberized with my own proccess, not like your regular craft foam. It has the cast rubber look.

[ravenreturns1]

very nice job xeno.
and since your only 12, im very impressed.

you say you rubberized a foamie, did you plasti dip it?

Raven, I didn't use plastidip. I used my own heating proccess to get the nice rubberized finish. I plan on cutting my final version in sheet urethane.

for who ever posted about apearing as spidey...

i stretch out for awhile before i show up, so i can hit poses while talking to kids all day long and not get sore. one party i was at, we had a game of dodge ball, and i played with the kids, it was fun. especially when it was mine turn to dodge. kids love seeing spidey do flips, arials, and handsprings... but... if you dont know how to do them, dont try and hurt yourself =). or... if you have a suit that may not be able to hold up to that, dont try it either and split your suit! be nice, try to talk to them like you really are spiderman. they really get interested to hear about your adventures.

Oh... btw... DON`T USE LATEX WITH SILVER COLOR.

I´m working for about 1.5 years on this suit now and the latex, that was glued in the first months, right now broke and peel away... half of the time i have enough to do, to repair the suit...

i'll stick to my puffy paint, may not look as smooth, but its easier, cheaper, and faster... :)

... thats why i like the black suit so much... so much easier!

Oh, for anyone doing scarlet or alien suits... go to spandexoutfitters.com, real nice lady, and she does cool eyes, white or reflective. (ideas and materials i gave her) but... she sews them on, which i like, but some do not.

Thanks to Peterparker0077 for your "adventures" with the kids and giving me some insight as to how to entertain kids.

You spoke of doing flips and handsprings and such and I only wish I could do those things. I am thin, but I am 6'2" so doing a flip is very scary! As far as handsprings, I envy you for having the shoulder strength! I would love to have the strength of a gymnast. UNBELIEVABLE!

Thanks again!

I don't think I'll be doing flips and such, at least to start with!

No... i don´t have... because:
When i´ve started the suit 2 years ago money was very low... and i don´t know anybody in germany, who could print the bricks on my suit.

May be the next suit will have the brick pattern... we will see!

superb job german!!
by all means enter that contest. you have more than a good chance of winning.

Nice suit german spider. How did you do that web effect on your video you posted?

[hanielroswell]

hi guy,

german spider does great work with the suit. i envy you and take my spider mask off to you.

for those who interested, i had e mail ryan in regard to the colour and webbing use for the original movie suit. since i am building an excact replica suit for my self. i wneed all the help i can get. and since ryan work on the oriinal, who better to give the advice i need then him. once again, i thanks ryan if he ever get a chance to visit the board.
here the e mail response that ryan gave me. this is of actual transcript and no changes were made.

.................................................. .................................................. .....

1. The fabric was white miliskin, then silk screened with 80 layers of
color. The red was a darker red, sort of a blood red and a little like a
carmin red. The blue was a dark royal or navy blue. The whole suit had
a grid pattern that went over both colors. All the muscle forms and
shadows were painted into the suit.

2. The webbing is latex, dyed black and painted with a pewter paint on
the top.

Good luck,
Hope that helps,
Ryan
.................................................. .................................................. .....

and this is another email sent to me on the same day regarding Bobby C work.

.................................................. .................................................. .....

Bobby C e-mailed me,

He does great work! I think his suit is the best reproduction I've seen
of the Movie costume. It still has a few areas that are not quite right,
but damn close.

.................................................. .................................................. .....

and when i email him again and ask where the area of which were not the same as the movie suit, he response with this email:

.................................................. .................................................. .....

The chest spider wasn't quite right and some of the web patterns were
not right.

The head was a little to wide and didn't have the right shape.

He said he's still working on it.

.................................................. .................................................. .....

i hope this give some idea for those who thinking about creating a replica suit. it certainly gave me some pointer and allow me to focus my atttention on area which requre my person attetnion.

take care now you all

[Scarlet Spyder]

isn't spideremc wearing the symbiote suit, or are you cloning now knight seeker to make enough people for all your costumes?? ;)

[SpidEMC]

Either my own character or others that share the same interests. The Spider is like a Totem to me, so I explore different parts of it. I just happen to find a home with Knight Seeker is all.

thanks hanielroswell, and Scarlet Spider for the kind words, I just do my thing and go about my business and all. Also there was a lot of business conducted behind the sceens for Knight Seeker. I have so many people looking forward to this new superhero, and the novel or website is not even up yet. I just started a Buzz is all and it is carrying over very well. Got 3 interviews about my character so its really great, even Nickelodeon network got in on the fun, and was happy that I said Spidey was my fav. superhero, but they wanted to know more about my own character Knight Seeker, since I was dressed in that costume. They gave me about 2 minutes to talk about the character, and it was way cool. Then after the recording stopped they talked a few more minutes with me, and was quite impressed by my professionalism, they really want to see a new character or orginality come forth.

Got a chance to meet Joss one of the Marvel creators while I was dressed as Venom, I dont know the guy but one of my firends who was with me was like, Eric I can never stand in line and wait so long to see one person. And the line was way long. Then the people in the line was just looking at me, and they were really impressed. Then Joss and the other artists who were with them to notice because everyone was turning around looking at me. Joss then looked up and had a really big grin on his face. He was saying "Damn that Rocks!" Then I introduced my friend to him real quick, and he was amazed I got that kind of pull for him. He felt kind of embarrassed that I got him to actually talk to Joss and shake his hand. he was thrilled. After we left, he asked why I did that for him, I said I suffered and I wear the suit, and the suit helps you stand above the crowd, and people love it, so that was your present for hanging around me and taking pics for me :)

The rest of the Con was great. I also got to meet Ryan B. the guy that was among others who constructed the Spiderman Movie costumes. WE talked for a while both Sat and Sunday. For the life of me I dont know what he was thinking about, but for some reason he listened to every word I said and wanted to know much more. He sees a vision in me for Knight Seeker, and he wants to see this character come alive very badly, so we will see what kind of pull I get once this character is making head lines. But for now that is all I will say at this time. But the Cons are great if you have never been to one, its about time that you do go to one, even if it is a small one.

German !!! Totally AWESOME !!! I am digging your suit man ! Great job, you would definitely win the contest, we're rooting for you. Oh yes, I have a few questions I'd like to ask :
1. How did you make your eyes reflective yet white / greyish ?
2. What kind of glue to you use attach the webbings ?
3. How did you manage the grooves at the angles where the webbings meet ?
4. Did you use vaseline when you had the latex placed in the brackets ?
5. What did you use for eye holders and chest spider ?

Hunter,

When you have four way stretch lycra it means it stretches four ways, as in vertical and horizontal.

Has anyone noticed that every time the movie suit is mentioned the brick pattern is reffered to as being silk screened? Even in the behind the mask book from the first movie. I'm not sure but shouldn't they be saying dye sublimated? Silk screening usualy cracks if stretched dosn't it?

bugeyed.

p.s. Spolen thanks for the offer to post my pics ill send you some later today.

[Xeno]

No, silk screening would never crack unless through age. Silkscreening on fabric is often refered to as Screenprinting. Yes, the original suit is Dye Sublimated. I am currently aquiring the screen used thermal transfer sheets for my movie suit.

[Germanspider]

I´ll try to explain as good as possible:

1. How did you make your eyes reflective yet white / greyish ?

Just take white mesh and a clear plastic...


2. What kind of glue to you use attach the webbings ?


A special glue for vinyl plastic and soft PVC


3. How did you manage the grooves at the angles where the webbings meet ?


Hope i understood you right. Just cut the stripes very clean, glue them and after that you should fill the space between them with liquid latex.


4. Did you use vaseline when you had the latex placed in the brackets ?


Nope... you can remove them very easy.



5. What did you use for eye holders and chest spider ?


Eyes and front spider are made out of rubber.

So it's white mesh behind clear plastic right ?

Hope i understood you right. Just cut the stripes very clean, glue them and after that you should fill the space between them with liquid latex.

Not that, I think I missed out one part, so it's pretty much my fault, I was trying to say the curved parts at the angles, not the curved web, the curved angle.

Eyes and front spider are made out of rubber.

Rubber ? Sheet, cast or what kind of rubber to be exact ?

[peterparker0077]

well, i would say order it to fit you now. :)

[peterparker0077]

German.... we have the same ideas for raised webbing =).. although i was going to use the jones tones paint to fill the gaps and bond the strips together :)

[<Mr.Spider>]

uuuhhh german in you tutorial on making raised webs...where did you get the rails from?..how much did they cost?
and I like peters idea about using fabric paint instead of latex..but pete...how are you going to make the paint not get stuck in the rails...and what type of glue would you use to attach it to the suit?
thank you for your time

Hmm... sorry... i don´t understand. What exact do you would like to know?
Sorry... my english is some way of ok... but sometimes i have problems to understand.


Rubber ? Sheet, cast or what kind of rubber to be exact ?

Uhm... just rubber... i went to a hobby store and bought a sheet of rubber and cut the eyes and the spider out of it. It was about 3.5 mm thick material.

hey there zendragon,

well that a damn great looking suit you have there. you can always tell that it's a tim lane original by looking at the webbing pattern on the mask. it is distintively different from other and by all mean, unique in their own way.

i had develop a good eyes for pin pointing the creator of some of the spidey suit here on this board. most recongnizable would have to be Tim lane, spiderman ham, spiderjack, Bobby C, and German spider.

i'm sure that i ain't the only one with such eyes for detail;)

beautiful suit zendragon, however not as beautiful as your lady tracy;)

peace to you my friend.

that right, tim lane suit sually have the bricjk pattern and the lense on zendragon suit seem to be a little larger then usual. i ws too fool by it the first time i saw it...

any way, my main interest still with Bobby c suit. and from what i heard, Bobby c will be making some slight alteration of the original suit to make it look even more accurate then ever before.

i'm really looking forward to it with excitment and anticipation

peace be with you all.

Oh yeah TIM that was Funny :D

The question was asked does anyone have any suits from Lethalgear.com Well I have two. The one I am most impressed with is this one. I wore it at San Diego Con over the weekend for half of the day, But my Venom really stood out, I guess Spidey has had enough praise people wanted to see something different, and heck yeah that Venom suit is great. I just need a better hood done for Dragon Con the one I had did not fit properly, but still those orange contacts used for Knight Seeker really gave me an evil look :mad:

hi spidEMC,

i must say that a pretty impressive suit. a while back there were some negative comment posted regarding lethalgear and suit there were making.

i had a friend who complaint that the suit which he recieve is different from the suit which he bid for (this was at an ebay auction)

but that is one funky looking suit;)

haniel roswell

[SpidEMC]

thanks hanielroswell, when I first got my original Suit it was okay it did not look as impressive as the one I had bidded for On ebay. I was kind of mad for a moment and got over it. They were willing to accept the suit back and was going to reimberse me. The suit they originally had was the one they had their appearance guy in. My original suit is the colors of the Movie suit. The shiny one is more like the comic book. I wanted that suit, so I wrote back to them and said the suit your actor wears is what I want, so they did it for me and I was impressed. But now I am on about Venom :) I may sell my other Spidey suits later on once Knight Seeker starts really making a mark, but for now I will keep things the way they are.

hi SpidEMC,

that what i was talking about. Tim lane were commenting a while back about lethalgear illegally posting his spiderman suit and claiming iot as their own. and the one you mention was the one that my friend were bidding on as well. it has no brick pattern and the colour of the suit id more lighter then the movie version. i guess you can it is more of a comic version of the suit then the movie version. and the spider on the chect is must more better looking.

well there reinburst you money. i would have too flip my lid if i pay 700 buck for a suit that wasn't up to my taste and standard.

goes to show that we must be extra caution when we deal with these kind of people.

have a nice day.

haniel roswell

[peterparker0077]

700 dollars.... never pay that much for your suit... unless its bulletproof =). i spent $300, and i think thats way too much!

[hanielroswell]

well it was actually 649. but who counting. true that you could probably get a decent looking suit for under 300 buck, even less if you make one your self. but i dun mind paying that much for quality suit. take tim lane suit for example. it cost more then 700 hundred dollar, but those who own one would agree that the labour and quality invole into making the suit is well worth it.

i would go for a tim lane original my self, but i have my own idea of the kind of suit which i want to own. and by far, Bobby c is with out a shadow of a doubt the only one that have what i want.

peace with you all my friend.

haniel roswell

[Lewis Tully]

Well... About the muscle shading....

[herpscott]

Even if you make your own suit, $300 doesn't get you very far. I suppose if you know how to sew AND you have an incredibly steady had to apply puff paint for the webs - then you could probably make one for $300.

The suit I first made (sentimental value not withstanding) cost me almost $600 to make. It had brick pattern and raised webs, but the bulk of the cost was the silkprinting of the fabric. That was a huge cost!

Tim's suit cost more than what I paid to build my own, but I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANY OF IT :D

I agree that Bobby C and Tim have great suits. Ham's is great too, and I honestly would have purchased one from him, but he said he wouldn't make it my size. I am too tall!

[peterparker0077]

man thats silly, i spent 300$ total on my red and blue one, and yeah, gotta have a steady hand with that puffy paint, but it was fun. i did it all in one night about 3 years ago.

i only spent 160 on my alex ross suit, and now i am only spending about 100 on my black suit =)

hi Herpscott,

glad we are on the same page. to make a decent looking suit, one need to think about the cost of the suit. i know that screen print the brick patter is a price in it self. i can't really sew nor do i have a steady handto applied the webbing my self. thus i have to give ham an enormous amount of credit for his free hand method of applying the webbing over the entire suit.

i think when you lack the skill and the patient, then it would be better if you get some one else who does have the skill to make the suit for you. like Bobby c.

overal cost of Bobby c suit is a little out of my budget. but i am still saving for it. and had enquiry him about a sew-it-yourself version of his suit. and he had mention that the overal cost is not in the sewing, which proof a point that herscott is trying to make, it is probably in the silk screen which make a suit pricey.

peace with you all my friend.

hi Raven,

that right, the suit which there were offering ebfore is no longer avalable in their website. now there have another version of the suit which cost 799. but as a preventive meaure, i would stay away from purchasing anything from them.

from all the negative comment i've heard about them, the risk factor of recieveing a bum suit ir any at all, is too high. with that kind of money i would much rather save up a little more to get a tim, ham or bobby c suit. there may cost more, but you you are get what you see;)

his Glsmatt,

for that, i think you should enquire tim about it. i remember a while back, tim were auctioning a red and blue brick pattern lycra on ebay. may be he stilll selling them.

or you might want to try margaret waite design. they too are producing spiderman costume with the brick pattern fabric. and they have available the fabric you want. but the only complaint with margaret waite would be the colour of the fabvic is too light and the shiny. and that is more of a goney comb design silkscreen into their suit, not brick pattern. before there only offering silk screen pattern on the blue fabric. now there have it on both.

hope it help;)

i was just making an obsevation on the lethalgear suit and their site.
i talked with them awhile back and wasnt impressed with their slow response to emails to buy a suit.
i realize not everyone can check their email day by day but when your offering a product or service to customers it is a different story. in fact i still havent had a reply to one of my emails to them and that was weeks ago.

this is going back in time a little bit on this thread but i noticed where wu monk kinda dropped of the face of the earth too. someone here bought a suit from him and never heard anything again from him.
shame too since he made a nice suit that resembled the 70's live action suit.

hi ravenreturn,

if i'm correct, lethagear is run by just a few people, 4 at most. there were offering custom made mask which tooake only 5 day to complete. can you imagine that? 5 day?

i wonder what kind of quality mask can you get with just 5 days. some of the best looking mask being offer by spiderham and tim lane required at least 4 weeks.

now there have another costume which in my opinion look pretty cool but i doubt whaetehr the costume really belong to them or just merely a rip off from some one else.

buyer beware. do not purchase anything from lethalgear.

haniel roswell

[ravenreturns1]

you can just call me raven. it was took so i had to add the returns.

i dont know enough about them to say wether they are good or bad.
all i know is they were very slow to answer my emails and that turned me off from buying from them. the last time i checked the suit is no longer on their site anyhow and its been about 2 weeks since they have had a suit on ebay.

as far as doing a mask in 5 days, it may be possible depending on how much time they had to devote themself to it each day. also since it is more than one person that would help.

[Xeno]

Yeah, speaking of fast replies, Bob C is amazing on that. About Ham, I sent him a PM a few weeks ago, have not received a reply yet, just sent again.

tim, ham and spideyfan have always answered and responded to emails in a very timely manner (usually in less than 24 hours) and
to me that goes along way in my book.

hi raven,

well i my self haven't purchase a suit from them. what i;ve heard is just from those who had purchase from them. i figure those who turn you off from buying a suit from the, shouldn't even be consider.

i've been turn off and rejected for most of my life from asking too many questions. but i dun mind, if i figure if you can't even handle simple task such as answering my email on time or even answering my question at all, then why bother doing business with them. better give the business to some one with the kind of reputation and patient, people like ham, Bobbyc are a prime example.

so for those thinking about buying a spidey costume, STAY AWAY FROM LETHALGEAR!!! you have been warn;)

peace to you my friend.

xeno,
i would send him a email instead of a pm since he may not frequent the board as much.

[ravenreturns1]

cant disagree with you there haniel. word of mouth is the best recommendation and says alot about someone.
having to answer questions is always gonna be a part of selling anything over the net. the only way to know and learn is by asking questions.

tim, ham, and spideyfan just to name a few that i have spoke with have always answered every one of my questions no matter how insignificant or stupid the question may be. the only stupid question in my book is the one not asked.

if you purchase it from ham, could you tell me how much he is charging for it?

thanks.

i got the base alex ross suit from spandexoutfitters.com, company used to be a with another company of a different name.
but i did the webs, spiders, and feet myself.

the base red and blue suit i got from reniassancedancewear.com, but it never fit right, and i had to send it to my friends at spandexoutfitters to redo all the seams so they were strong enough to last. again, i did everything else my self, webbs (i did in one night) as well as the shoes and the front and back spider.

i dont know about leathalgear, but i know 5 days is plenty to do a really good job. I can make stainless steel wolverine claws and get them to you in less than that. as long as its on a weekend.
and i think my next movie suit i will try to do for under 250$ =)

hi pete,

well i dun know the average time it would take to make a qualilty looking mask. unless you have everything in stock and you have presewn hood tailor to different size. yeah may be that is possible. i mean all you would have to do is stick the lense to the mask and applied the webbing.

this is where i think that 5 day would not be enough. cause to properly applied the webbing even'y and systematicly to the mask required some time and patient. surely a low quality mask would take less then 5 day, heck, give me an hour and i would have the mask ready. of course then the webbing might not be that great looking.

the webbing of the suit is what give spiderman it's demension. you can say it is the meat and potatoes of the entire suit. so if i were to ask lethalgear (and that is a BIG if) i would better off doing it my self. or may be ask them to send me a mask with lense but without any webbing. that i would applied my self;)

peace be with you my friend

well you could contact forum member Bob C and spiderham-hype. both this artist created the suit with the zipper running along the side and under the belt. it can be quite difficult to enter and exit the suit. it's best to have a spotter with you to help you out.

hope it help.

[spolen23]

Am I wrong or is this Bobby C's suit on Ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3830261373&indexURL=0#ebayphotohosting

Looks good though.

[Socrates]

Err...I saw that on Ebay a while back...the first picture is from a diffrent set of pictures when somebody else was in it.:o:up:

[SpiderManYetter]

yup... that's ours.

As for the zips, there are two approaches, have a long zip on each side that starts at the armpit and extends to the back of the belt. I believe Ham has his this way. Or, you can have two zips, one down each side and a seperating across the lower back like the movie suit. Taking your time when putting the suit on you won't have any issues getting in / out.

[SpiderManYetter]

man that one pic looks a little like Eliza Dushku....(yum!)

[spolen23]

Sorry Yetter, i didn't mean to imply that it wasn't your suit also.

[spiderman5080]

Thanks for the help

[peterparker0077]

so why are you selling it?

to make more?

hi Mr spider,

The under-mask was made so the Actor and Stuntmen all had the same profile. And Bob C has an original mold, and will be selling copys soon.

thanks for the info.

Hey guys I have a question:

The facial shell was in place when the actor/stuntman wore the suit but how did the chin move when spidey was talking.

I noticed in part 1 it wasn't as much but in part 2 the chin was moving more.

Did they come up with a new shell or what ?

hi anson,

well i'm not really certain about your observation, but i've seen the moive like 5 time and not once did i see the shin move. may be i miss it. may be you could let me know which sene you think you saw the chin move may be i can see it again.

actuallt this was one of the question i was asking my self through the first spiderman movie. why when spiderman talk, there seem to be no movement on the outh area. but that was before i knew that a facial shell were use. so that must had constricted any movement of the jaw when spidy is talking.

peace be with you my friend.

haniel roswell

[hanielroswell]

hi guys,

i'm still interested in finding a link where the facial shell can be found. any one have any knowledge as to where i can find it here in this forum or other please let me know.

thanks alot.

i have a question for spider jack or anyone who has used plastidip spray on the foam chest spider or lens frame to give it a more rubber look

how did it turn out after using the plasti dip spray?
your thoughts on using the plastidip on the foam?


on another topic, as far as using glues for the eyes and chest spider, what does everyone use?
i thought about bondini (its like super glue) since i have used it with success in the past but I've never used it on fabric or anything i would wash and dont know how it would hold up to that.

[Xeno]

Raven, as of now, I will share my secret of getting rubberized foam to the board.
Step 1 : Take a peice of paper matching to the size of your foam.
Step 2 : Take your regular iron or steam iron. ( WARNING, do not put in water )
Step 3 : Place your fun foam on the ironing board with the paper above it.
Step 4 : On your Iron to the highest level.
Step 5 : Iron the paper above the fun foam and press it so the fun foam won't face up.
Step 6 : Wait till it's cool.
Step 7 : Remove the paper, touch the fun foam to see if it feels like rubber, and Voila, you're done. For the eyes and chest spider, I just used Craft Smart PVC craft glue, it stick on to virtually ANYTHING.

[Xeno]

Here's a pic of the mask shell in case anyone missed it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/XenoVikatoi/MaskShell.jpg

[SpiderManYetter]

Hey I wanted to get your guy's opinion on something. I want to post progress pics of Bobby and I's suit as I assemble one together. Just so you guys can see what it takes from start to finish to print, cut and sew a suit to completion.

[ravenreturns1]

sounds like a very good idea yetter.
look forward to seeing them.

[SpidEMC]

We are about a month out from showing the short film at Dragon Con. Also the novel should be ready for print by the end of August. I am just crossing my fingers that all of this work will come together properly at one time.

Knight Seeker

[spolen23]

i can't wait to see the pics

[IAMSPIDERMAN]

Just so u guys know...the suit up for auction on the page previous,is actually using my pic of me in the suit of the chest and spider!!
i just don't want anyone to get fooled if yor planning on buying this suit ask the guy for info on the suit...and preferably more PICS.
i know i emailed a load of pics when my suit when up for sale through ebay,so be very vigilant.iv emailed the guy who is selling the suit and asked him to remove my pic from his auction!

Yeah, good idea Yetter. Do it.:)

[Socrates]

Err...for the 2nd film, they made a new Under mask so it was more comfortable. ;)

[Xeno]

Yetter, great idea, it would really help ! :)

[ravenreturns1]

pretty neat trick on the foam xeno.
never heard of that glue though. also still interested to see how the plastidip ones are turning out so anyone who has used it on the foam plz chime in with your experince with it.

[iron_fist0]

yeah make building your suits into an online journal or something!

oh and SPIDEREMC knight seeker is looking sick! i dunno if you remember me from some 2 odd years ago, we talked online a few times

it's kool if you don't, it makes more sense for me to remember you, what with you being knight seeker and all (lol makes it sound like you really do have a dual identity), but yeah maybe we'll talk again one day

Sorry for the lapse guys. Been WAAYY to busy with life. Here's a couple of shots of the mask and front now that the webbing's complete. I dont want to post any body shots because I want someone else to have that honor that's been extremely patient through this whole process.

Where do you guys get all these materials? (Fabric, Webbing, Spider Logos, Etc) Example above. These costumes are killer *****. How much does makinga costume cost? I've been looking around but everything seems so expensive. How do you make these costumes especially the webbing. Great job to all those costume makers.:up: :up:

[ravenreturns1]

hey guys,
thought maybe some of you would enjoy this fan made tribute to spiderman video (especially the die hard fans of all the spiderman shows)

congrads go to Mark Rathwell who owns the web page for the spiderman live action tv series for putting this video together.

Raven,

Thanks for the link. That was a cool walk down memory lane :)

[ravenreturns1]

np at all spiderjack.
i know the feeling friend. that film brought back alot of good memories for me.

[blaze269]

Sweet video! Thanks for posting the link.

[Glsmatt-Spider]

Hey guys, this is glsmatt-spider. Anyways, I was just checking out ebay and I found something very suspicious...its a guy saying he made tims mask and lethal gears costume, and he only has a 50% feedback rating with 2 feedbacks! This has to be some type of joke! Tim, you should talk to this guy or talk to ebay. Here are the links:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48776&item=2260648331


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10547&item=2260878682&rd=1

[Spider Tim 7]

Oh yeah - I know that guy. Last year he forged checks that he stole from an older woman and used her name as his (Yoland Reaves). The checks were a misprint that were supposed to be Yolanda. I know this because he wrote me a check for a suit and I was later intervied on the phone by the bank investigator. She had filed an afidavit and the law in Fresno was looking for him.

His real name is actually Isaac Phillips. I think he is a teenager.

DON"T BID!!!!

[SpiderJack]

It looks like he must have bought this guys mask.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32991&item=3807708599

And must be wanting to sell it now, but since it's not really all that great looking he must want to use Tim's pics to help sell it. LOL What a moron!

[Glsmatt-Spider]

yea, the webbing of that mask is just a mess. What about the lethal gear costume or the black spider costume? How do you think hes going to manage that? Will he ask lethalgear(Oscar) to make him one or is he going to give the winning bidder another crappy costume. I feel bad for the winner.

[ravenreturns1]

seeing as how 2 of his items are ending the same day and the other a few days later and all 3 are priced pretty high, it wouldnt surprise me if he was getting ready to burn 3 ppl out of money and not send them anything then pull a hoodini.

[eledoremassis02]

I bet that too! I don't trust that guy.. for one 50% feed back is not that good... and he just joined ebay not too long ago.. The only way I would buy a costume would be from Tim (Heard some good things about his costumes). Or make my own.

[ravenreturns1]

the venom costume looks like the one from spandex outfitters and if you look, he says he can make one for $600. the highest i have seen a venom go was around $300

[eledoremassis02]

I never compared his Vemon with Spandex's. You are right! If you could I would report them.

[herpscott]

I live in Fresno, maybe I should find this guy and beat his a$$. Whatta you guys think? It appears as though he lives is Stockton which is only an hour or so away! :) Just kidding! It would be nice to see that he gets what he deserves, if he IS burning people though. I got burned on ebay once for what appeared to be a really cool ringwraith costume!

Anybody else been burned for stuff on ebay?

[real-spiderman]

Show up on his doorstep in costume and when he answers just nail him in the nose! lol

Sorry I hate ebay thieves.........


Real

[Rednite]

Ya I got burned recently, By Lethal Gear on ebay or some lenses.
Just gotta say I am not really a newbie I have been reading this thread for a LONG time and I have read all 284 pages. You guys do some amazing stuff. Never had anything important to say though. LOL.

[ravenreturns1]

oh man, sorry to hear that rednite. we was just discussing lethalgear a few days ago and haniel made the comment about staying away from them.

i have been burned on ebay as well. luckily though it wasnt for a great deal amount but $100 is still a fair amount to me.

[blaze269]

I am going thru that right now. Some jabroni is trying to say he shipped the item twice. Though it never has arrived. You do the math. Then tried to make me pay 5.00 more to have him try shipping to another address. I don't know about most of you, but I only live in 1 place. If you ask me, that is extortion when you ask for more money in order to get the item.

[fred]

http://www.toei-video.co.jp/DVD/sp21/spiderman_tcs.html

here are some photos of japanese (toei) spiderman showing up in some event held in MAKUHARI in japan.:)

[Glsmatt-Spider]

Wow, if that jabroni said he shipped the item twice...how the heck can you ship an item twice? Also, if he did ship it, then why would he want $5.00 if its shipped?

[ravenreturns1]

just for that reason i always ship an item with delivery confirmation and tracking when i sell and i ask to have one purchased for what i buy.
you should tell him if it was another $5 dollars he was after, then he should have added it to the reserve or set a reserve at $5. i dont see what he could stand to gain unless he is just hopeing you will let it go and write it off, then he keeps your money and still has the item to sell again.

[Anson]

hey raven thanks for posting the video. Was really great to see clips of the nic hammond show.

Tim, I've noticed that quite a few ppl pass of your hard work as their own on ebay, did u/can u report them ?

I'm afraid to get anything from ebay b/c of the stuff mentioned above and also the probs with paypal.
Does anyone have any experience/solution to this ?

yetter, i too am keen to see your "diary" of progress.

haniel, thanx for replying. You are probably right, maybe I imagined the chin moving. I haven't gotten a chance to see spiderman 2 again, been really busy. But am gonna see it in IMAX and catch it (if it's there) for sure. Maybe I imagined it.

There was a mention of a more comfortable "under-mask", can someone elaborate on this please ?

[blaze269]

You got me............. The guy wants more money is all it boils down to. He also claims the second time that he shipped 2 in the box. Now why?????? Would you ship 2 when I only won a single one?? I have filed with ebay tonight about him. The worst thing I had done was told him that if it's war he wants then it's war he will get. He has chosen to go the childish route. He claims I took the LOW road when I nicely asked for a refund since it hadn't shown up. Essentially what he is doing is a bit like extortion if you ask me though.

[ravenreturns1]

good luck blaze and hope all ends up well for you on that deal.

hi anson,
np at all. it was my pleasure to be able to post it and give mark a little exposure. he has one of the VERY few remaining live action spidey sites on the net. you can go check it out here http://homepage.mac.com/markrathwell/Spidey/index.html

2 more pics of members costumes of the board have been used by this dude in another one of his auctions.
first tim and lethalgear now jack and hams with blaze in it.
man this guy beats all i have ever seen. we are gonna have to copyright ever pic we have of costumes to keep him from using them.

[eledoremassis02]

http://i11.ebayimg.com/02/i/02/32/2b/1e_1_b.JPG What would you say the webbing is made out of?

hiya all,

damn! my computer has been giving me some problem for the pass few days. un able to check back to the board. and i can tell there is a lot of controversial talk at the moment which i will give my opinion shortly.

first off, i would like to thank Xeno for posting the picture of the facial mask as i had requested. i really appreciated it xeno, thanks man;)

second of all, i can tell there is a lot of heat and fume going about this guy using Tim, ham, jack and lethalgear picture to claim as his own and trying making profit from it.

although it is not my suit which this guy is posting it on ebay, i share all your anger toward him. it is so unfair for some one who is as talented as these indivdual (minuslethalgear) who had works so long and hard to perfect their chosen art to simply being rip off by some offf the mill hack.

we should reall so some thing about this matter before the reputation of these fine individual is ruin. any suggestion?

hi there peterparker0077,

that is so true. one person can hardly make a difference here.although damage is done by one person, it take more then one to stamp down on this matter at hand.

sorry to hear that peter. i know your friend must be really outrage when she saw that some one is using her picture illegally for false profit.

i remember almost 2 years ago, some tried to do this with my suit and someone elses. i forgot who though. we nailed him, and he was banned from ebay.

This has nothing to do with costumes or such. But I want to make a Spiderman Tribute music video and I only have windows movie maker 2 and the trailers I have are Quick Time (The won't import onto Windows Movie Maker 2) Could any one turn them into Mpegs or Windows Media format? Thanks.

[eledoremassis02]

Ok. I hate posting twice but I just found this! You all might know this allready but this is for the people who don't know.

eledoremassis02 - I hope you dont plan on making money off of films that have spiderman in them, because marvel WILL sew you in a second and shut you down. its unfortunate, but true. you can do it for free, no problem, but you cant make money off of their copy written character. be safe :)

[spiderman boy]

I pm'd u spiderjack.


I hav a few ?'s if neone could help with them.im hoping to hav a suit made for a project ive been thinking about, but i need to kno sum things from u guys since i figure ur the best source, so here it goes.

-how many yds of lycra do u typically use on a suit?
-What lcra do u use?
-How long does it take to complete?
-Wats best acrylic paint to use for webs?
-Where do u get lenses?
-How do u wash it?
-How many different pieces are used and sen together, and how/where are they sewn together at?

Thanks for ne help
Joey

[ravenreturns1]

glad to see the ebay listing of is gone, but i dont think that is the last of him.
think about it, he posted that last auction with spandexoutfitter, hams and jacks costumes 8 hours after he had to take down another auction for using tims mask and lethalgear costume.

its one thing to use someone elses work as your own and show pics of it, but when he has twice posted auctions with pics of someone other than him in the costume without their knowledge or ok to do so then he needs to be banned from ebay along with the others that try that stupid stuff.

[Xeno]

Damn, that Ebay geek MUST be VERO'ed. Or is he already ? Haniel, not a problem, I have many pics of Spidey's movie suit, so just ask. :) Is anyone on this forum 5'8" ?

[ravenreturns1]

spiderjack,
pm sent to you.

[torchdiver]

I'm 5'8" if it helps.

Let me know what you might need.

[Xeno]

Ah... Ok. I just wanted to know how tall is that in metric.

[torchdiver]

Let's see:

5'8" = 68"
1" = 2.54cm

68" * 2.54 = 172.72cm.

I know that. But I and my brother both have a series called Arukia and Nighthawk. Pluse advirtisements and such. And when we get around to it we are going to turn SNP into a real Animation studio. Like Westward produtions. (Does Cartoon network adult swim stuff)

[peterparker0077]

spiderman boy - im not sure how accurate your looking for. i just use basic navy spandex and red spandex. (lyrca is a trade name for spandex, its not different.) i didnt sew my suit, but i can tell you that you need about 2-3 yards of blue and 2 yards of red. for the webs, i still jones tones puffy paint, but to get more accurate, some people make latex webbing on here. for the eyes, i use mirrored window tint and clear vinyl. hope it helps =)

[BYrKee]

Could yall tell me how to make the red and blue costume? and, where do I get the supplies? and about how much will this cost?

[Xeno]

Personally, I like Royal Blue better than navy. :)

[hanielroswell]

hiya one and all,

just got back from ebay, did a search on spiderman costume and guess what i came accross, a kit version of Tim lane costume. check it out:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19255&item=5512131589&rd=1

the thing is, the seller is not Tim lane, it is some body else. so i figure that we might have a reoccurance of the same problem face last time.

can any one verify this costume. betteryet, can you Mr lane verify this costume. since this is your suit, you might have a record of all your client.

peace with you all my friend.

haniel roswell

[eledoremassis02]

well I would use *If I had the money* Michaels.com but the store itself might be better. This site is also good wich I would use http://www.spider-costumes.de/Special/special.html This has all the info on how to make a Spiderman costume. On http://www.spandexhouse.com it says that 45" costs $12.00.

Yet agen I posting twice but hanielroswell just poped up. Hey tim your pictures are getting more popular by the minute!

Man, seeing those pics on ebay sorta makes me regret not buying one of Tim's kits while they were still available. Oh well, live and learn.

[SpiderJack]

Hey I created a tutorial on how I made my suit. If you go to Tim Lanes webpage or German Spider's webpage they both have it posted there. I couldn't post it here because there are too many photo's and Superhero-Hype wouldn't allow it to be posted.

Hope this helps.

hiya raven,

well you can never be too careful when it come to this kind of thing;) just to be on the safe side, i would like to hear from Tim him self. but like you said, i think he is clean. i mean those picture look clean and pretty recent. but the kit in my guess would have to be from a long time ago, as there is certainly some difference from the kit and the suit which tim is offering now.

peace be with you all.

All is good - Yeah that is a kit of mine that I sold more then a year ago. I guess the guy never got around to making it - maybe someone will bid and make a great suit. I hope he sells it. Don't want to see that much potential just sittin' around. LOL

That kit has the old cut lenses without the brick pattern, Still can become a great suit though. Thanks guys for the head's up.

I decided to get rid of this post

[eledoremassis02]

Ok... I'm sorry i asked. Lets just go back to somthing else then

[eledoremassis02]

Why hasn't anyone post somthing? Is it cause what I said?

[Batman_DKR]

this is wierd i dont know why people have stopped posting, but i tihnk your request souds fine, you should look into just getting a cheap-ish one, like $50 from hollywood costumes (no link sorry) would proably be esaier than seemingly being ignored for no good fu**ing reason :confsued:

COME ON PEOPLE HELP THE GUY OUT!

[eledoremassis02]

Thanks for the reply... This is getting really wierd! I'm scared

[Batman_DKR]

i dont understand why people are ignoring you like that, i cant see that you did anything wrong, just a simple question in what seems to be the most appropriate place, if you dont have a reply from someone else in an hour, make a new thread ith your post in!

[eledoremassis02]

Ok. Thanks for the advice! I hate when things like this happens!

[Batman_DKR]

its annoying, especially when there is no god damn reason, you see, its even aggrivated me now, i wish i had talent in this area, i wouldve helped you out :)

[blaze269]

I personaly have just been busy. I don't think anybody is trying to be a richard to him.

[SpiderManYetter]

Good grief! Seriously guys, chill out. Try Zoloft or something.....

[hanielroswell]

hi you all,

i agree with Blaze. noy cause we are trying to ignore you or anything like that. most likely those who can't comply with your request just thought it's not nessasary to reply. honestly speaking, i dun think there are many individual who willing to part with their suit. there is a lot of work and expense involve when making a suit. so unless there is any kind of benefit from it, very seldom you would get a reply.

peace be with you my friend.

there was a benifit! I would pay back the person that made it... I just don't have the money now. pluse there are usally posts every minute and they stoped for a very long time and i was wondering. I don't mean to sound impashiant (sorry fot the bad spelling) but i hate the silent treatment

[ravenreturns1]

a valium works wonders as well. lol

there have been times when days have went by before a new post was made here before.
so its not anything new for time to pass between threads. some days are good and others are just slow.

i doubt that most are going to just send you a suit on credit.
if you cannot afford a custom one now, start out with one of the store bought ones until you can afford something better.

[eledoremassis02]

Here here! lol :) It's juct nice to get post backs

[Batman_DKR]

glad to see things turned out a-okay for you my man......of i go :batman:
