Making the perfect Spidey suit

[Xeno]

Spidey4fun, awesome to see you on this forum. I saw your posts in the shoutbox. I received your e-mail already. Believe it or not, this guy has a radical costume. ;)

[LarTheLad]

Okay Xeno, I'm not sure which costume your talking about. I do think though that if you get Tim's suit to look anymore realistic, the threads may start coming apart on it lol :). In all seriousness though I'm making that comment on all the pics I've seen on his site (not that I own his costume) and which are awesome pics. Tim's costume would be on the top of my list of spidey costumes to obtain. I know SpiderHam has a great suit too (and I tried emailing him to get some info but I guess he's busy or email gost lost) but it also looks great. I wish mick would post something to on this forum, I kind of miss him on this thread to tell you the honest truth. I just want to say there are plenty of guys who look great in costume (and thanks german for the update on your site) and plenty of guys who do a great thing as trying to make fantasy and reality with the superhero thing (thank SpidEMC for making us believe in a new hero.(and hopefully will get to see more of KnightSeeker.)

In any case I think this thread still makes me want somehow for my dream for the want of a Spidey suit. Though being at 294 pounds (my body is ready for any suit.) also my online chats with others about my dream has been quiet very quiet lately. So I guess it all really does depend on how bad I want it. Anyway I'll get off the online stage and let someone else speak :)

congrats Lar, i look foward to pics of your costume.

[spidey4fun]

Hi Xeno,

Thanks for the comments. But I'm still looking to improve the suit. I'm going to make a sublimated suit with latex webbing. If anyones got any Spidey II art work you're willing to SHARE I'd appreciate receiving it. Anything.......I have a fair bit but i'm still looking for more. www.spidey4fun.000k2.com (http://www.spidey4fun.000k2.com)

[SpidEMC]

Thanks Larz
I hope you do your thing and complete what you started,

best of luck

Knight Seeker

[discocop78]

Lar,
So you weigh 294 pounds? About a year ago, I was bordering 200. Now I'm at 160, size 33 waist. If having a Spidey suit is what makes you want to drop those pounds, then go for it. Having something to inspire you is the only thing that keeps you going. My thing was wanting to be like my hero Arnold Schwarzenegger. I felt sorry for myself, being a 17 year old who would never be in as good shape as a 56 year old. Since then, I've started eating better, and I strength train 4-5 times a week, as well as getting plenty of cardio. Just find your groove, stick with it, and, most importantly, be patient.

[OVDH]

Hi,

maybe I can bring back some life in this thread:

Here´s my first test of printing my artwork on fabric. It was printed directly on the fabric by a huge inkjet printer, but unfortunately my artwork was too dark and had too much contrast. The color dyes the fabric through to its back side so there aren´t any white gaps when it´s stretched.

Hopefully I´ll have it printed correctly next week.

Ollie

[spidey4fun]

Hey OVDH,

Looking good. Is that die sublimation? I'm going to try the same thing shortly. Looks like you've used the pattern from a couple of threads back. I have a couple of friends who are 3D artists working on the art work for the same pattern at the moment. Should be ready in a couple of weeks. Does your pattern have the brick work through it?

[Xeno]

Ollie, looking awesome ! Try lightening the contrast on the blue a bit more.

[Oberon]

Wow... that´s pretty amazing !!!
It just needs to have the contrast tuned. But it´s amazing. Congrats

[blaze269]

Nice looking piece there!
Now not to change the subject, but I have been on here for a while and have something I would like to share.
I got engaged the other night! I had known this girl for about 2 years. Even before my ex. She even knew of my ex as well and never gave up on me. Nor I on her actually. I just never figured it would go anywhere. Seeing as how at first she lived in the phillipines. Now she is in Bahrain. I received a letter the other day as well as some pics. She stated her love for me. So The other night when she called, I made the best of the situation and asked her to marry me. She said yes, but has 18 months left on her contract over there. This next year and a half is gonna seem like an eternity, but this spidey has himself a future bride.

[Oberon]

Congrats Blaze !!!!
And at the same time... I´m sorry for those 18 months :-P

[SpidEMC]

She is a cute one Blaze, good luck dude.

Not sure what should say other than it's a movie style that obviously needs some reworking on the web design.

[<Mr.Spider>]

Hey guys..what do you find works best for anti fogging the lenses...and keeping them from getting fogged?

[blaze269]

Shaving cream.

[hanielroswell]

hiya all,

it has been a while since i last posted on this forum. well it has been hectic for me lately. a lot of doctor appointment and physical test to prep me for the surgery. well any way, the forum look's great.

well let me get straight to the point, through a secret sourse i've manage to obtain the original pattern of the spiderman 2 movie costume. it was originally offer by Xeno, but some how Xeno never recive the pattern. so i was fortunate enough to obtain it through a close friend of mine who happen to have the original dye sub sheet which were discarded by sony. he offer to sell it to me at a pretty reasonable price.

i will have them scan and save it on a disk and offer it to any one here who's wish to buy it. the pattern will be scan in a high resolution scanner with 4.0 pixel (i think) and there will be a modification of the colour to match the movie style suit. basicly, it would be an excact replicate of the pattern of the suit worn by tobey.

3 different print artist will be working on the colour contrass of the pattern using reference picture from both spiderman 1 and 2 to give it that nice retro type touch. but again. this suit will be base soley on the spiderman 2 movie suit. i know that some member here prefer colour suit on the first movie. so i am incoperating a mixture of both to satisfied both need.

i'm still not sure wheather to keep the webbing line or discard it. but mostly i will discard it. this will give member here the option of implementing their own webbing design.

i am charging this pattern base on the demand. the more oder i've got, the cheaper i am charging for it. so i need to to know how many people would be interested. please email me or PM me.

thanks and have a nice day

[Oberon]

Wow....that´s soooo cool Haniel :-)

I´m sorry that Xeno didn´t get his one though.

spidey4fun and blaze269

thanks to both of you. You've got mail. Well in a few minutes you will anyway.

Bugeyed, that´s a killer costume you´ve got !!! CONGRATULATIONS

But...how have you done that webbing? I mean... what did you use and how did you put it in the costume. I´m in the process of making my webbing, so I´m collecting as much information as I can.

Thanks in advance,
Oberon

[spidey4fun]

Hey Blaze, Shaving Cream?? Hows that work??? How long b4 fogging starts to occur???

[bugeyed]

imurme, thanks for posting my pics for me.
blaze thanks for your help also.
spidey4fun, i sent a pm.

oberon, on this suit my webbing is latex. i did the whole sculpting moulding casting thing. but if you dont want to get so elaborate. you could do this. i have used this method in the past and it worked very well. basicly i made a sheet of plaster about three ft sq. i then cut strait slots 1/16 of an inch wide by 1/16 deep. i used a dremel. i cut as many slots as i could fit probribly fifty or so. then i used that to made about 70 latex strands. after trimming and washing them you can paint them with paint made from left over latex with a silver pigment added. then its all up to you gluing them down in the proper design. it really wasnt that hard. it took me about two weeks to make a suit that way. when your dont you just fill in the meeting points of the webbing with a bit of liquid latex this way it looks like one solid peice. hope that makes sence and helps.

bugeyed.

oh and i use a glue called devcon. it is a rubber adhesive with a psi strength of 200lbs. these webbs dont come of unless you really really pull.

[SpiderJack]

Bugeyed,

I really love your suit. Can you send me some close up pics of your webbing? I'd like to see how that process you described looks close up. Also, are you wearing a shell mask under the mask? You can also contact me at JHerman312@hotmail.com

Mr. Spider,

I like to use RainX ainti-fog. You can find it at most auto supply shops. (Autozone, etc.) I just put a few drops on the inside lense and use a Q-tip to spead it around. Than let it dry and I've never had any problem with them foggin up. I've got hours without having to retouch. Good luck.

[Xeno]

Bugeyed !!! Totally rad suit. Haniel, my pattern has landed, just waiting for it to be scanned, trying to find a scanner. Have you sent the lenses yet ? I am giving my pattern free for a few people on the forum. They know who they are. Haniel, ;)

PS : Will be off board for this week as I have major examinations. Haniel, good luck on the surgery.

Yep, that's one heck of a suit alright. And it's made by our own Tim Lane. (He's here on this board you know. LOL) But you're right Tim makes a fantastic looking suit. And he's a great guy taboot! Right pal?

That´s extremely cool Xeno, I´m happy for you ;-)


As for bugeyed: Thanks, you surely helped me. I would use liquid latex, but I can´t find it here in my country (Brazil)...
Amazing... we have the Amazon Forest, which produces lots and lots of latex, but we can´t find it anywhere. :mad:


I´m glad to see that thread is crowded again

[bugeyed]

oberon do you have any craft or hobby stores there? if so you can use mould making latex. i used it twice when i had to improvise. i still have one of the suits and the webbing is still looking great. hope that helps. if not you can always order some online.

bugeyed.

[Oberon]

It´s hard to find these things :-(
I looked everywhere and...nothing.
I think that I´m going to end up using polymers. That´s something I have some experience with, so I think I could make them look cool.

Well....as Xeno, I´ve been very busy and my mask is stuck in the same position for weeks :-(

[Cowboy_Buddha]

does anyone know where I can get a mask shell? If anyone could help, that would fantastic!

hi Xeno,

well so glad to know that you finally recive the pattern;) it was sure a long wait. got a little annoy, but better late then never i always say;) if that the case, i just use your pattern to make the modification then. i might be a little busy these couple of weeks, so just email me. i've have the lense already pack and seal. will send it to you within this few days.

have a nice day.

haniel roswell

[Xeno]

Haniel, you rock. I am wondering, you still in with me or what ? If you are, you can go ahead and sell my pattern once you receive it, I am probably sending it to you for scanning as I can't find anyone to scan it here yet, but not a problem though. ;)

[Xeno]

OMG Ollie, that looks way awesome. Is that webbing done on mill, wire cut or laser cut ? If it was on mill or laser cut, didn't it have machine marks on the cut holes ?

[hanielroswell]

i agree,

dman that is a materful work of art. you certainly have the talent. i can't wait to see the end result of your suit ollie.

haniel roswell

[OVDH]

Thank You!

The molds are done in a mill. CAD rules! There a no marks, everything worked out like I wanted it.

Ollie

[Xeno]

No marks ? How can it be possible ? You cleaned them ? Is that Latex or Polyurethane ?

[OVDH]

Well I had to trim some areas but that was no big deal. Its polyurethane.

[Xeno]

Wow, awesome work. I'd like to discuss material wise with you on MSN.

[Xeno]

You cleaned with sandpaper or scissors ?

[bugeyed]

you could use some thin clear plastic with mirrored window tint or white mesh fabric depening on the style you like. for the rims urithane or latex works well be carefule though if you make them riged (hard) they need to be an exact fit to your face so IMO latex or another flexable material is best.

I just made a quick, and verry crappy site on Wanadoo, to show the suit.

Please feel free to take a look at the LethalGear suit that I bought from MPM Costumes - it arrived yesterday, in plenty of time for halloween. It does look pretty good, but I'm still eagerly awaiting Tim's suit!!!

I have removed the mask from the rest of the suit, which actually makes it look better, as the neck was fairly loose before.
Does anyone have any advice of what to wear to take away any "definition" of your private parts?

Chris Reeve was the person who made me beleive superheros were real when i was about five or so. i remember going to opening day with my parents. he opend the world of heroism to me without him the films may have floped and i most likely would not have taken on this fasination. through comics i was given a higher moral standerd of rite and wrong. nine years ago Chris showed that he was a true hero by never giving up on his fight to walk. im not sure many of us ( at least not I) could ever live up to what he has done and what his memory will keep on doing.

[bugeyed]

Tadams,

nice suit. you made it? is that the one youre talking about with the latex lines on the gypsum? real nice nice job. it's a serious pain glueing all the webbing down on these suits. im not sure what material name you are talking about. if you mean what i said for the eyes, you can find it at a hardware or home improvement store. it is privacy window tint and it comes in chrome, or mirrored, both work well. i use the mirrored. then at a hobby store you should be able to find very very thin plastic sheets im talking in the thousandths of an inch. if my new eyes work out i could set you up with a set if you want. youd just have to cover shipping.

I made it from a kit that is being sold on ebay. I am pretty sure it is BatJack's (I think) The guy's name starts with a "J"

What shoe/foot protection do those with suits (especially LethalGear) wear?

I am finding that my feet slip off the flat soles that are on my suit - I need a pair of small/kung fu style shoe to be inserted.

Any ideas?

i make an insert for boots. they are really nice its basicly the interior of a normal shoe you would by. ill see if imurume can post some pics of them. or if you want i can email you some pics with detailed instructions. With these bad boys you will never worry about stubbing your toe or slipping off of a sole again.

IRT ebay removing auctions:



They really screwed me over. My auction had already ended with the BIN. They sent me and the buyer a nasty email about infringement. The buyer was told he didn't need to complete the transaction.

What really irks me though is how the buyer tried to use the situation as a way to "negotiate" a lower price since he knew I was stuck and couldn't relist the item. After a few days of stalling, he backed out of the deal after I had emphasized that it was important that he is serious about buying the costume. He refused to use paypal and insisted on sending a check, which of course I would have to wait to clear. All this just inches closer to Halloween and who knows if the check will clear and of course I would lose a huge number of potential buyers once halloween is over.

As of right now, I got a few different offers that I am talking to potential buyers about. The original buyer has once again tried to make another deal after backing out. He now wants me to hold on to the check and cash it after halloween, at which time he wants to buy the costume!

Congratulations my friend

[Aaron O.]

Looks good!

Question, when you all make your webs (I assume you make them along the lines of the tutorial on the spider costume site) do you have a problem with them cracking when the suit is worn or do they stretch well?

[OVDH]

Hi Aaron,

they are all sculpted in a mold before glueing and they stretch like a rubber band.

Hope that helps

Ollie

[Aaron O.]

Excellent. Sorry for the chain of questions, but what do you all use for the mold?

[bugeyed]

There are a few different molding materials out there. For economy you can go with a plaster or hydracal mold. If you going to be doing more than fifty castings though you would want to go with a silicone mold. for your average guy making a suit for himself though plaster is much cheaper.

[OVDH]

Hi,

Thanks to you all. Except for the test print I have printed out 2 patterns so that I can be sure to have a replacement in case anything goes wrong with glueing, sewing and so on. So if I don´t make any mistakes (and I´m glad I haven´t until now) I have stuff left for a second suit.

[Oberon]

Hello,

Ollie, could you tell me what did you use to paint the webs? Thanks

[wbennin]

Wow, I wish I would have found this site sooner.
I am a huge spiderfan living in NY and about 2 months ago, I decided to be Spiderman for Halloween (I am told quite often that I resemble Tobey). I have been working out and physically training for the past two months, so you can see I am very dedicated to this event (I have a 4 pack for the first time in my life). As far as the costume goes, I have the spandex and a seamstress and a pair of ninja boots I was going to use for shoes under the spandex. I was planning on photoshopping some pictures of the original movie costume templates to create templates of my own. I was going to use the tulip method to make the webbing. I was going to modify some oakley m-frame lenses for the eyes, and make some latex frames for them. And, though time consuming, I was going to hand paint the muscle definition and brick pattern.

However, I have seen on this thread that your collective efforts are much better than my plan was going to be, so I was hoping to call on your help, though I know this is short notice. I am seeking leads on better webbing, leads on silk screening the muscle definition and brick pattern, leads on better lenses frames, and tips on glue. I have seen some of your efforts and I would love to get ahold of some of them if I could. I would be willing to pay for any help anyone could give, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please email me at wbennin@gmail.com
Also, on a completely different topic, I have a few gmail invites for anyone interested.
Thanks,
wbennin

WOW !!! I wonder whose suit that is... Hey Matt, come on MSN sometime, I need to discuss stuff with you.

[SpiderJack]

Since no one seemed interested in my "old school" Spider-Man suit, I ended up getting interested in it again. So this time I decided to modify the eyes by changing them from the chrome/silver that I originally used to the traditional white.

[hanielroswell]

hmmmm...

why Xeno got ban?

haniel roswell

[Oberon]

Yeah, good question:
What happened????????

[torchdiver]

I just pm'd Xeno, and he doesn't know why either. As far as he is aware he didn't do anything wrong, though he is wondering if it had anything to do with his last post. He has contacted the mods about it.

[Spider Tim 7]

Hey Guys - M had my site removed from the internet.

[spidey4fun]

What reason did they give?

[Socrates]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/BatJack/Spiderman/Spidey001.jpg

Awesome. :up: What did you use to make the webbing?

[Spider Tim 7]

M said I was unfairly competing with them. LOL Like I am a threat to a billion dollar corporation. LOL I guess I'm good. LOL

Anyway, I did learn that there is a M Scout on this board that conveys all and any info back to a legal firm for M in NY.

We all know that corporate america is Lord. LOL They look at me and giggle saying, " ah, isn't he cute, look at his legs kick." LOL

Try tulip fabric paint for webbing

Hey Tim,

If they didn't close you down you would have put them out of business....or at least taken over the company with all those M Shares you've been buying from the billions of dollars you made last week in sales......LOL.

[peterparker0077]

so are they pulling all the spidey suit auctions on ebay?

i have a symbiote suit and an alex ross suit to sell... wonder if M will pull them from ebay?

I dont think they can touch the alex ross one... i dont know...

any ideas?

hey marvel rep... any ideas?

[blaze269]

Now you see,,,,,,,,,there goes a huge load of.........Tim.
M doesn't make movie "REPLICA" suits. So how could you be competing with them? As for having a "spy" here. I think that is pretty low! It's not like you are so stinking rich that you have so much money that you couldn't spend it all if yu tried. Corporate America sux sometimes! They need to leave these little guys alone and let them have their fun. I have seen lots of this at certain otther boards that I go to and it's rediculous.

[Aaron O.]

Good ol Marvel. Maybe if they would come out with a better suit for Halloween we wouldn't have to do this. So sorry but your crappy one piece tie in the back, no gloves or boots suit, mask with the cutout eyes hole doesn't cut it.

[trepamuros]

Hi Spiderfans I Need Your Help How I Could Make The Pattern?
And If Somebody Can Send Me The Pattern It Makes Very Happy I Made The Face's Lines Of Latex Over Gypsum And Now The Rest Of The Body But I'dont Know How I Do It I Think That If I Buy A Maillot And Paint Over The Maillot The Red Zone And After Cut The Red Zone Well I Dont Know Please Give Me Solutions Please Please.

[Aaron O.]

Try tulip fabric paint for webbing

Don't you have a problem with the web breaking if you use that paint?

[SpiderJack]

Aaron O.

I don't have any problem with the Tulip paint. I did find that the Jones Tones paint broke all the time. I recomend the Tulip. Although I've heard people having a lot of success using liquid latex and mixing it with the Tulip and then applying it for the weblines. Apparently this is even better. I don't know first hand cuz I've never tried it. But I hear it works like a charm. No breaking at all. Good luck

[Havok85H]

Hey guys. I know this is a bit off subject, but would any of you know where I could get ahold of a Cyclops visor from X2? I heard there were some guys on the brotherhood of the bat board that had some, but the new site www.brotherhoodofthebat.com seems to be unavailable at this time. I found this on Ebay-- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=790&item=3847739277&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW and just wondered if anybody here knew who or where I could get a hold of one from. Thanks

SpiderJack

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I recently bought a spider suit that has a lot of broken weblines and have been repairing them with some paint I bought, I just looked and it happens to be tulip and I can't see that any lines I have drawn on have broken. Again thanks for the response!

[spidey4fun]

I used Tulip on mine and the webbing lines have broken in places where it really has to stretch. I like the idea of using latex in the mix. Thanks

[hanielroswell]

hiya all,

well first off, i'm sorry to hear that tim page got pull off the internet. that is a real shame and a shameless act. my guess would be that the same person which pull your website off the internet is the same person who got Xeno ejected from this forum. now the question is, what did Xeno done to deserve this? i mean he had been an up right citizen of hype and always contribute any way he can to the forum. i just dun think it's fair. i shutter to think who is next on the hit list.

i have to agree, if marvel would just put a little more effort into the creation of thier spiderman suit, then we wouldn't be tempted to go out and make our own. no offense to marvel, but i wouldn't even put those OFFICIAL linsence product spiderman costume on my dog, no less my self. if marvel is going to win over any fan, there better get their act together and do some thing about those pajama costume.

there should take a lesson from cospa japan. now there is a costume you would be proud to dawn on. not perfect, but still a hell of lot better then marvel. at least there dun cut hole where the eyes should be.

overal, i think cooperate america need to re evaluate their copy right policies. it's not like we making billion of dollar making a few feet of spandex jump suit. there need to redirect their attention to what really matter. and that's pirated DVD. that is where there lose the majority of their income to. not costume maker. people like, tim, bob, ben, spiderjack, etc are merely providing a service to other who needs it. it's not like a full time commitment toward it.

it's getting boring now going back to ebay to see if there is any new and exciting home made spiderman costume, cause there aren't anymore. now it is just some cheap immitation, official lisence product. snoozeville man!!!

have a nice day.

haniel roswell

[Aaron O.]

I used Tulip on mine and the webbing lines have broken in places where it really has to stretch. I like the idea of using latex in the mix. Thanks
spidey4fun.
what is your mix? 1 part fabric paint 5 parts liquid latex?

[SpiderJack]

Spidey4fun,

I never had the Tulip break, but when I apply it I make sure that I stretch the fabic out. So in essence the material is already being stretched to it's extreme point and then the paint is applied. This way it won't break when I put the suit on.

[spidey4fun]

Aaron O, Sorry I haven't tried it yet. Not sure the mix. It will be guess work unless some else can shed some light on the situation.

SpiderJack, I have previously applied Tulip when the suit was stretched to my measurements. So your suggesting I stretch it past my measurements?? Doesn't it look puffy when it contracts?

I have a thoery on how to be banned from this site....M owns the intellectual property to everything Spiderman. If you offer anything for sale on this site that relates to Spiderman you will be profiting from M's intellectual property. Is this Illegal and how to be banned???? I had a second thought....if it is illegal why don't they stop ebay from selling all rare merchandise....surely this is also profiting from M's intellectual property.....food for thought.

[spidey4fun]

or perhaps it is OK to profit if its an authentic item for resale........who know????

[Aaron O.]

spidey4fun
I read you response wrong and thought you said you prefered to add it in rather than it was a good idea. Sorry about that.

[Spider Tim 7]

Wow - now I was just suspended from eBay.

[Aaron O.]

Did they give you a reason?

[trepamuros]

what is tulip paint? where is used?what is your funtion? what tipe of tint i must use for the glasses?thanks

[SpiderJack]

trepamoros,

You reallly should go back and read some of the preivous posts. LOL But Tulip Brand is fabric paint. It comes in a variety of colors. You can buy it on-line or at Joann Fabrics or any other craft store. You want Tulip Brand not Jones Tones.

Now I don't know what you mean by "what is your funtion?" I guess my "function" is I'm a fan and costumer. I use a basic car window tint. You can find it at most car detailers. I've also heard that people can find decent window tinting at at Lowe's and Home Depot. But I've never looked there. Hope this helps.

[Oberon]

I guess I can understand what trepamoros doubt is.
I mean... I know a little bit of his language, and I think that he´s probably making a mistake. The "tint" we refer to is not what you use to paint walls, trepamoros. I´ll try to explain him (even though I don´t speak spanish very well):

La "tint" que nosotros hablamos no es la tinta que se usa para pintar muros, etc. Es la pelicula que se usa en automoveis, para diminuir la intensidad de la luminosidad. Compreende?. Si no, tenta ir en Google y buscar por "window tint" e usted verá do que hablamos en las janelas de los automoveis"

Well...let´s see if my spanish works !! LOL !!!

[Kris]

Hi
If you guys want to sell your suits on ebay there is a guy selling batman stuff he makes what he dose is sells a real DC batman toy set and you get a free gift eg. metal bat cuffs or metal spear gun props .
you guys could try that sell a real spiderman toy and get a free spidey suit and start the bid at what ever you would have done for your suits.

What do you guys think?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=790&item=3843636497&rd=1

[spidey4fun]

Tim, you'll need to set up your own server at this rate. It's getting a bit ridiculous. I hope for your sake they don't know anyone at your electricity supplier or next you'll be sitting in the dark. I have a new theory....maybe M controls the government????? LOL

[spiderman5]

Good idea Kris

[webslinger922]

Hi Tim, Sory to hear all the trouble your having. My brother also got booted off ebay for a month, for listing violations. what reason did they give you and how long til your allowed back on? My brother found you couldn't fight the suspension, they are going to do what they want to do.

[trepamuros]

eyyy thanks oberon and spiderjack for your help and my english not is very well ey oberon your spanish almost i understand EVERYTHINK so the tint is a tint for window's car oh thanks
eyy i don't know how i could MAKE the costume I THINK USE A TIGHT SHIRT AND AFTER PAINT THE LINES OVER THE SHIRT AND LATER CUT OVER THE LINES TO MAKE THE PATERN WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

[Oberon]

Well.... I wouldn´t recommend that. You´d better start from zero. I mean... don´t use a tight shirt as base. Buy some lycra and make it from square one.

Xeno sells patterns of the original costume, so if you don´t have any idea of how to begin, it´s a very good thing to follow.
If you can´t find latex or is not used to work with polyurethane, etc, use 3D Paint. This is very easy to find.

Edit: Thanks for understanding my spanish, LOL

[Aaron O.]

What do most of you use to put your latex in to form the webs? I saw on German Spider's site he used some kind of profiled rail, where do you get these?

http://www.spider-costumes.de/howto/assets/images/profiled_rail.jpg

[tadams]

IRT spidey lenses, I used this:

http://home.comcast.net/~tadams14/spiderman_018.jpg

I put it on my daughter's cheapo Walmart costume here:
http://home.comcast.net/~tadams14/spiderman_017.jpg

I have found this stuff online for $40 and up. But if you have an Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH), I got a 15x3 ft box for $27 there.

It looks really good. It is a complete mirror finish. Not a tint that only has a mirror finish at certain angles. It looks really good.

[trepamuros]

thanks oberon but i have a doubt how i could paste the lines of latex over the lycra?
because i think when cut the zone of red it coulb be more little and if i paste the latex when i put over me less something the lycra and the lines could be very longer
how i can do it
o what a pity? i from spain so is very difficult that i buy the patterns
heeey my is very bad i hope you understand
another thing trepamuros not trepamoros trepamuros=wallcrawler wall=muro crawlwe=trepador thank you my friends for our freindship excelsiooooor!!!!

[trepamuros]

hey aaron i buy the liquid latex in a shop of barcelona(estacion de servicio)
but you can find it in a shop of paints
eyyy about the pattern i from spain so far and will arrive the pattern very later

[Oberon]

Superglue it to the lycra. Should do the trick pretty well. :-)

Well...contact Xeno. I´m 100% sure he can send you the pattern somehow, even if you´re in Spain.
Contact him, it´s worth it ;-)

Oberon

[Aaron O.]

Thanks trepamuros, but I know where to get the latex, I'm just not sure where to buy the casting for putting the liquid latex in to form the web lines.

[spiderfan09]

Hey guys, This is off subject, I know. But I just wanted to tell everyone how pleased I was with the Batman costume spiderjack just made me. I love it. He made it with incredible detail and speed. I will have pics soon.

[Aaron O.]

I can't wait to see pics

[Orlando Spider]

I've been around here for a few months, e-mailed Tim about his suit a while back. So basically he inspired me (along with all the other guys at spider-costumes) to make my own spiderman costume. So far it's turning out excellent. I've finished sowing it, put on a good bit of webbing (tulip, black gelly), but am waiting on lenses and for my local tulip supplier to restock their shelves ;) If Tim is there... how did you go about doing birthday parties/ functions. feel free to E-mail or PM me (if this board has it?). I'll post pics (or try to) when it's done.

[garl7096]

Tim - I also want to thank you for all that you've done for those of us interested in Spider-man costumes. I bought one of those cheap Halloween costumes many years ago and was not satisfied with it at all. Later, I was searching the web and found your site. I looked at all of the photos and read all of the text. I too love to do appearances as Spider-man for kids. Currently, I'm on my third costume (one from Lethal Gear). My ultimate hope is to one-day own a Tim-original. I think that Marvel is being very narrow-minded and short-sighted about how they protect their copyright. You've done a lot to promote their products. THANKS.

[trepamuros]

uuuf aaron the latex in the shops about paints the painters they use the latex ask to a painter where he buy this
what do you say about castings?who is it?I DONT UNDERSTAND
I WILL PAINT THE LINES OVER THE LYCRA AND AFTER I WIL PASTE OVER PAINTED'S LINES
HEYY OBERON I HAVE A DUDE XENO SELL THE PATTERN BUT DIFERENTS SIZES OR NOT
AND ONE A QUESTION I CUT THE RED ZONE WHEN I HAVE PASTE THE LINES OF LATEX
BUT HOW? BECAUSE WHEN I PASTE THE LINES WHAT CAN I DO? STRECHT BEFORE O PASTE WHEN THE LYCRA IS SHRINKED
ANOTHER CUESTION
I WANT PUT MY FOTOS IN THIS PAGE BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW I TRIED BUT URL ¿HOW CAN DO IT?
AND THE FINAL QUESTION¿WHAT COLOR I MUST USE TO THE WEBLINES?THANK YOU OBERON AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY

[spiderman5]

Yeah it will. It already released over the weekend over here. Try EB Games.

[trepamuros]

hey guys i made the lines of latex the bad is that i made the lines level ground not in form of circle
what is the secret to make the lines?plain or circle ¿what is our opinion?
great power comes great responsability thank thrue believers!

[<Mr.Spider>]

Hey all ,

[garl7096]

Everybody - I have to work tomorrow (10 hours from 9:30 until 8:00 with an hour drive to and from work) so I won't be able to do anything for Halloween. I'm hoping that some of you will share photos of your Halloween experiences to help me through my costume withdrawal for this year.

eyyy orlando how do you do the lines and how do you paint the latex?

[Orlando Spider]

trepamuros,

Go to www.spider-costumes.de >> gallery >> movie costume.

Use the pictures to make it look the same, and draw your lines onto the fabric with pencil (it can come off if you mess up). I did not use latex... I used Tulip fabric paint (Black Gellies)

But How?
¿What Type Of Paint I Must Mix With The Latex?
Here In Spain Exist A Latex Paint ¿what Is?

[Aaron O.]

I wore mine out to parties last night. I'll tell you that the thing that sucked the most is that I couldn't go to the bathroom!

I'm glad I wore it out though. I found a lot of things on the suit I need to redo. I need to make new webs with latex and fabric paint THEN glue them on to the suit. I had a lot of webs break last night, especially on my mask, with I am going to have to attatch to my suit. It looks so crappy when the mask can be removed. Also I need to make mirror lenses rather than white. I couldn't see jack last night!

[Orlando Spider]

I hear you aaron. And when your hugry it's also a problem cuz you can't eat finger food :( Like moose tracks, nachos,...even celery :(. Then again... maybe if i had a fork.

[Aaron O.]

When I went to the bathroom I felt like that kid in middle school that took off all of his clothes to go to the bathroom!

[Orlando Spider]

LOl, i've been making sure i get everything out before i put the suit on

Tonight i was answering my door to the Trick -Or- Treaters,... there wasn't an overwhelming response to my costume until this black little boy dressed up in spider pajamas came up. He walked up with his mouth open and his eyes popping out! He looked scared out of his mind, but totally enthralled at the same time!

That's what made making the costume worth every minute of my time :)

Long time lurker (occasional poster) Nice clean lines. I like the classic look. Very nice job.

[Parker252]

KMD
Cool pictures. They remind me of the photo covers Marvel ran years back. Would love to see brighter lit shots to see the webbing. Is this the suit with the blue parts made on that stretch velour? I also like the webshooters under the gloves. Is there a spider signal belt as well?

[Aaron O.]

Looking good KMD

[blaze269]

Slightly off topic, but did anyone happen to catch Tony Danza wearing the spiderman costume on the Tony Danza Show? (Sorry, I can't remember which night it was. I was channel surfing to find something for my kids.) He could have used some inspiration and help from here. The thing that bothered me most, was the blue of the pants did NOT match the blue on the shirt. The suit looked like it was several pieces. I think the pants and shirt were separate pieces as well as the gloves. At one point he pulled up the boot top, and there was no mask in sight.

Oh yeah, he kept saying he wished he had an apron. Someone should have told him to wear a dance belt, or use some of the other tricks mentioned on this board.

Hope everyone's halloween was awesome.

Does anyone on these boards speak spanish? I'd have to assume someone did. They certainly would be able to better help Trepamuros in his own language.

[Oberon]

I kind of speak. LOL

[Aaron O.]

Looking good spidey4fun.

Since Halloween is over, and the suit I bought officially didn't make it through it alive, I have ripped the webbing off and am going to start fresh myself. I'm really gald to have become a member of this forum and look forword to learning more while upgrading my costume as well as sharing things I have learned with you all!

First things first, I ned to make some rails and get some webs made!

[SpidEMC]

Nice
That´s exactly how I picture Peter in Amazing Fantasy 15 :-)

[Orlando Spider]

SpidEMC, ... i thought i'd have some but the person taking the pics at the costume party didn't have the flash on8/10ths of the time, they turned out horrible... The ones i took at my house getting ready to leave should turn out though, i just have to finish off the role ;) Might be this weekend.

[SpidEMC]

cant wait to see the next role of pics. Also Yesterday K.M.D.Theatrics great to see you out and about in public while wearing your suit. You do me proud :)

[Orlando Spider]

Hey K.M.D.Theatrics , what did you use for the eyes? On that last pic it has a pretty cool looking effect, and i can't figure out what it is.

[K.M.D.Theatrics]

The eyes are a holographic fabric mash I had fond 8 years ago in a fabric store. Up close there are tiny flat dots on the surface. Just like a spider’s real eye. More classic pictures with classic VillainsJ

[K.M.D.Theatrics]

Its all in the eyes:)

Hey Guys, I'm A N00B To This Thread.

Does anyone know what happened to Tim Lane's site? (Spider-Man 4 Fun).
I was really interested in checking it out and asking him some questions.

[Orlando Spider]

Tim's new site is here...

www.spidey4fun.000k2.com

[Spider Tim 7]

No - that is not my site.

[SpiderJack]

Tim you gonna put up a new webpage?

[Spider Tim 7]

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SpiderTim/

[Orlando Spider]

Hmm
Two tims? I guess i thought it was strange that it was Australia then -.-

[spidey4fun]

Nope www.spidey4fun.000k2.com is my site and my name's Brad. I called my site Spidey4fun in appreciation of all the help and info Tim gave me when I was making my Spidey Suit. Tim's philosophy of doing kids parties for fun NOT for profit and freely giving away his idea's on how to make a good spidey suit sits very well with me. Spiderman never stopped and asked anyone for a VISA card b4 saving the day.

I hope you put your site up again Tim. It would be a shame for new and aspiring Spidey's to miss out on seeing your suit and the knowledge you were willing the SHARE.

[Spideymaniac]

i'd like to share a picture taken this past halloween but i've got no clue how to post a picture. i'm going to be lazy and just ask and hope someone replies instead of searching through the whole forum for an answer :-p thanks for the help

[spidey4fun]

Send it to me and I'll post it on my webstie. You have to put a URL to pictures to put then up.

[spidey4fun]

Hi Guys, I need some help. Once again my Spidey4fun web site is fast approaching the 500 MB bandwidth allowance per month after 5 days. It must be popular which is great but it will soon be down again. I receive an extra 100MB per month for every 200 referal hits they get. Just click on the link and I get 1 credit. You dont need to go any further than the first page it links to.

http://www.000k.com/refer.php?id=spidey4

So if you wouldn't mind. Click the link. For all you guys lookings for free website. They provide a good service, if you dont use to much bandwidth.

I'm doing some more filming on Monday. I'll post a small Spidey saves the day movie on my website shortly after. Assuming i'm still running.

Thanks

[webslinger922]

I saw in the the San Diego comic con update that in the costume contest , a special Stan Lee signed Spider-man lithograph was presented to "Spider-Man" costume made and worn by Michael Cisneros, with assistance from Larry Malott. Congratulations to you both.

[K.M.D.Theatrics]

Hi Guys!!! If Yoiu have any questions email me here:

kmdtheatrics@yahoo.com the name is Kelly:)

[trepamuros]

hi guys i have a problem i made the lines of latex but i cant paint the lines the paint is breaking
i from spain somebody could send me the paint for this in spain dont exist the tulip paint and tint os silver help me!

[Aaron O.]

When using the wooden rails to make webs, did any of you have trouble with the wood soaking up the paint?

[spidey4fun]

I have a black latex spider on the front of my suit. To make the latex black a water based paint was added to the latex and mixed through when it was still in liquid form. Use this idea to make your webbing black, sliver, grey or what ever colour.

If your wooden rails are soaking up the paint give them a coating of oil based paint first.

[Aaron O.]

I'll try that if it doesn't work out on this batch

[trepamuros]

hey spidey4fun help me i dont find silver paint in spain
could you tell me where i could find it?
and if i dont find this you or somebody could sell me this silver paint
I FROM SPAIN I'LL SEE THE WAY TO DO IT THANKS THANKS

[Aaron O.]

Well I mean, if you give one of us the money for the bottles which I am not yet sure how much you will need, plus shipping, I'm sure someone will help you out

[Aaron O.]

Yesterday I made the rails out of bolsa wood and filled them with silver tulip paint. I went to remove them about 10 minutes ago and I couldn't get them out without breaking them or without bringing chunks of wood along with them.

Are there any other methods of making webs? Or any tips you all can give me?

[discocop78]

Try greasing up the rails with vaseline. It might prevent the sticking.

[spidey4fun]

I'm guessing your using Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paint that comes in a 118ml bottle. I just put it straight onto the suit. Just make sure you stretch your spidey suit to your size b4 you put the paint on it or it will crack up when stretched.

It's made by http://www.duncancrafts.com/products/product.asp?ID=149&SID=1 They might do mail order or send them an email and ask who there Spainish distributor is. That's how i got in here in Australia.

Spideymaniac's Suit

http://www.spidey.000k2.com/images/handshake.jpg

[Spideymaniac]

I want to thank spidey4fun for hosting and posting my picture. I blurred the face of the officer so that he may remain anonymous. This was taken at a costume parade in town. Marched with many children who were amazed and happy to see Spider-Man walking with them. Always a pleasure to entertain the children and to put a smile on their faces. Lots of hugs, high fives, handshakes were given that night as well as pictures being taken. Also think a local reporter took my pic and asked for my name and where i'm from for the local paper :) Always looking for an excuse to be the webhead.

[Aaron O.]

Great costume Spideymaniac.

spider4fun: I would put it directly on the material but I'm not steady enough to draw it. I tried that route but messed up pretty badly.

[SpidEMC]

You Rock Spidermaniac!!

As for me I was at one of the huge local Mall for the trick or treat time. I was planning to go to NYC with one of my co-workers as Spidey and Venom, but he had got called into work at the last minute. But anyway when I got to the King of Pressia Mall it was way cool, got some of the biggest comments in the mall dressed as Venom, could not do the mask though, but but I did put in my orange contacts for that alien type look.

Spidermaniac got hand shakes and hi-fives, and ext. I got those also and the kids were excited, but to add the girls had to feel the muscles and the suit to make sure it was real and not padding, and a good amount of the girls made their sexy comments and so forth, and not to forget the slapps on the butt by some of the great looking ladies in the mall. Oh well I guess its good being the Villain once in a while ;) :venom:

[Aaron O.]

That happened to me when I dressed as Superman

[trepamuros]

eyy aaron you must make this over plastic and with foam you cut straight lines of foam and paste this foam over the plastic and so you will make the mold and after you put the latex inside and wait that the latex is dry

[Spideymaniac]

Didnt get felt up but couple girls started flirting with me. Hmmm....come to think of it, I think that was the first time that's ever happened. Guess chicks dig the threads :)

-SM

[Aaron O.]

eyy aaron you must make this over plastic and with foam you cut straight lines of foam and paste this foam over the plastic and so you will make the mold and after you put the latex inside and wait that the latex is dry
Thanks a lot. I'll try that was well

[Spideymaniac]

I've been meaning to change what is used for the eyes from what appears to be more of a mirrored window tint material to a hard lens. what would people recommend? Thanks for any help.
-SM

[Aaron O.]

Spideymaniac - I am going from using mesh to mirror tint. How is visibility with tinted eyes? Are you able to see well in low lit places? I know with my white mesh eyes I couldnt see anything unless there was a supernova outside!

[Spideymaniac]

visibility is not a problem at all except that they will fog up which then becomes a real pain. i have yet to figure out a good way to prevent them from fogging. i was thinking of switching to some sort of hard lens and then just spraying lens defogger that i have for my scuba mask. when/if you switch and find a good way to keep them from fogging up, i'd love to hear your solution.
-SM

[Aaron O.]

A lot of the guys use Rain-X anti fog. I used it on my other lenses, which will pretty much be made of the same material, so I don't see why it wouldnt work on your lenses as well.

[crcurtis]

Tim -- Sorry to hear about your altercation with the big M :(

I think your suit is the best out there, even better than what is professionally made. Someday, I would love to purchase one for myself, that is, if you still make them.

[blaze269]

For fogging just use regular shaving cream. Some of my fellow stormtroopers swear by it!

[spidey4fun]

I just took my plastic tint lenses out. Tried Rain-X but it didnt last long enough. I'm now using a double layer of fine aluminium mesh.

http://www.totalmodel.com/workshop/pages/workshop_308.shtml

It looks solid and reflective from a distance and OK up close. You can see out fine and no one can see in. It's not quite as good as tint with NO fog but heaps better for long Webhead sessions.
