they came out great brad, looking forward to seeing the symiote ones.

btw, you can add alittle aluminium powder to the urethane when you mix it, that will give you the gunmetal effect. Finally got it working after your brittle spider incident

I made a darker lense as well.. I prefer the darker one than to the light grey ones...Its more of a gunmetal effect.

i dont know if anone ever heard of this, but i saw this on wikipedia about the production of the spiderman1 movie. "In April, some of the Spider-Man costumes were stolen, and Sony put up a $25,000 reward, although they were never returned"

wonder what ever happened to those?
wouldnt mind one myself [=

i believe that was an advertising/marketing ploy to get people interested in the movie and the suits.
i could be wrong, but i remember hearing something like that.

05-29-2007, 12:49 PM
I had read that after some time, they finaly found the stolen suits, a security gaurd for the studio lot had actualy stolen the spiderman 1 suits, and the police also found that he had other movie props such as batman stuff and a few others i believe.

A lot of great suits since the last time I visited the forms. I see a lot of improvements from the pattern as well. The last set I had back from Spider-man 2 which were ok... Does anyone know where I can get better ones with out the 3d webs. I'm looking for the original ones that just have the web outlines. I'm hoping for some with better colors and bricks then the older ones. PM me if anyone here has any.

Does he offer the pattern files or just printed patterns. I need the files to work on for a custom project unrelated to a wearable suit, but need the files in there full scale to make it easier to work with.

Hey Guys, Heres some stuff i've been working on the past few weeks. I thought it be cool to make a display of all the spiders. Nearly there just looking for a frame and such. Tell me what you think. The new spiders where painted with graphite powder.

05-30-2007, 02:11 PM
Oh yea. I tried to reproduce these as accuratley as possible. The spiderman 3 back spiders both have bevels to them. and like in the movie painted with graphite. Red spidey 2 was painted with acrylic. And as for the back spider no.1 that was silk screened on with shiney plastisol ink. The spidey 1 front spider was also done with graphite poweder. Not how they did it but i didn't really know that much on the painting methods on the first costume. Finally the best spider (in my opinion of them all) was painted with alluminium powder. Just one more spider to do....

Thanks dude. Yea i cut them out my self. I drew and adapted some of the designs lying about on the net. I'd atcually been sitting on the sybiote spider for nearly a year now since that first trailer came out, and then i adapted the front spider as to my eyes some bits looked different. Basically for painting method, I used a glue that basically never drys unless you leave it for weeks on end or use and oven likthat then like someone else mention in the forum earlier this week, tap some powder over it, blow with a dryer the polish it up. It would take a few goes. but is atcually an awesome way of painting. And the finish when done correct looks great.

05-30-2007, 05:29 PM

i'm guessing if you buy his print, what's stopping others from reselling it for cheaper? :cwink:

Plus, it looks like he's color (un)corrected the REAL patterns so that the colors are no longer right. The way it is, it looks like even though the bricks are complete on his pattern, they may still drop out in the darks when you try to print the suit.

If he was selling the ORIGINAL originals, instead of his modified version, I'd be willing to pay a premium for them, but not $500-750, that's just ridiculous. You can get 1-2 assembled costumes for that.

I bought my TKComics patterns (From a member of this board, through ebay) for $65, so, I'd be willing to pay around $100-125 for the real deal. For $500, I would hope to get more than a data DVD or two.

you'd have to take the webs off, but thats worth saving the $470 if you ask me :)

on another note. i remember earlier, the other ebayer selling the file for 500 also had a file of the 3D webs up for sale. he wanted $1000 for that. haha

Hello all, I am new here, I made a handle name on this board like eons ago but it was gone. I just want to reintroduce myself and say hi to you all:) Also wanted to say that all of you have been doing an awesome job at making these spidey suits, Peter Parker will be proud of you guys.

On a side note, someone grab Young-NYC's suit of his hands!!!....its a real bargain and awesome quality as well plus Young is a good guy so take it off his hands now while you can!!:)

BTW I also purchased Nayef's suit and really excited about it since he mentioned that this will be his 3rd generation suit. Which means that he will be using a new printing process which will make the colors even more vibrant than now and also will be using laser cutting techniques for his new webbings and spiders for maximum accuracy. He said that he will size it to ensure a snug fit to the wearer so can't wait to see his production on this suit. Also mentioned that he will make a faceshell for the suit with his new set of eyeframes and lens design for his new suits. Will keep you all posted but bear with me as there is a time difference of 9-12hrs with you guys.

Nice to meet you all!!!

fake.


Actually I sent the pictures to my friend who works for Sony Imageworks, he said it's 100% authentic.

Now it may or may not be screen used. That cannot be verified, but it was made for the production.

This is by no means an endorsement for the prop. The guy has some negative feedback, and I have no idea what you would actually get. However, the pics shown in the auction are of actual Venom webbing.

A lot of great suits since the last time I visited the forms. I see a lot of improvements from the pattern as well. The last set I had back from Spider-man 2 which were ok... Does anyone know where I can get better ones with out the 3d webs. I'm looking for the original ones that just have the web outlines. I'm hoping for some with better colors and bricks then the older ones. PM me if anyone here has any.


hey i have the pattern on a cd. i bought it on ebay about a year ago and i was gonna use it to get a suit printed but i never did. i just bought a suit instead so if your interested in it let me know. They are just the print with black guidelines. NO printed webs or spiders!

Thanks

i am asking $50 as the total including shipping cause the cd contains the pattern, front and back spider NOT ON THE PATTERN(if you want to get them printed), and its also contains a guide the making a perfect spidey suit. so its got 5 or 6 things on the cd and i just checked and it does look like there is the brick pattern throughout almost all of the red parts and the brick pattern in the blue is only in the muscle shading. let me know if anyone is interested.

You all are working on making the perfect Spidey suits, but I think we should be shifting out focus on developing web fluid and shooters, as well as genetic improvements that would improve reflexes and allow for wall climbing.I know that artificial setae so far are a good bet. What do ya say?

and after that we can work on convencing nasa to fly a select few of us into space to find some symbiote; while in the mean time nasa is back on earth working a DNA combogulator to scramble our genes with sand. and then we can even make out own superheros, splicing our genes with water and fire or other various elements and minerals, eventually leaning towards crossing us with animals!

There is a way of going about things before you blast someone's hard work by assuming things you couldn't possibly have any knowledge of.

The "S" was indeed taken from the hero gear S toys, and as it says on the page, i've never claimed them to be cast from the original or anything of the sort, I merely said the size was accurate as was the shape.

My months of time and plenty of money went into the colours, material to use, the thickness/shape/curve, and other factors such as this. These were all made in Pakistan, so it took alot of samples and remoulding till they understood what i wanted, and until i reached this point, and thus I am very proud of my S's.

Please refrain from such unfair attacks without first at least asking the person what was done, seeing what they were actually claiming, or if your assumptions were founded or not.

but i wouldnt recomend them they are very expensive £235 + p&p

i ordered them in january and they only arrived yesterday. plus i had to pay a inport fee so thats was more money. and i havnt recived the arms fingers or other boot yet. they said they would be coming next week so thats another £33 inport fee.

AND to top that all off most of them were broken. there was like one of the palms that wasnt snaped somewere.

so my advice get them from somone on this forum who makes them.

hey i almost thought about buying webs from them about 2 weeks ago cause i seen the pics where they showed what the webs look like on the suit and i thought them webs looked awesome but i never did buy them because of what you was saying the price. i didnt want to pay that much for them cause i knew i was gonna have to pay an import fee too. well anyways i'd like to see the pics when you post them with some light.

Stay away. I tell you from experience. It is not a mesh or plastic, more like some sort of fabric. The seller's also kind of a jerk, he'll leave you negative feedback if you leave him negative feedback, even if you paid on time and fulfilled all your duties. I hate eBayers like that. :cmad:

This guy's slick. By listing it for a hundred bucks, it's not so easily noticed. He's stealing pictures from OVDH and another guy. Report him, before the auction ends and the winning bidder loses money.

Forrest S,
that's a pretty good try for a black mask.
just a little constructive feedback,
if you upgraded your frames to the movie style version and made your webbing a bit more duller, it'll look even hotter.

That's true, but when you think about it.. Most masks are ...

$60-80 (Kinda crappy)
$100-150 (Good, but doesn't stand out)
$150-200 (Great, and has that "wow" factor)


Usually, so that's why I said $200 for his. But you make a good point.

I'd say its worth about 200$ maybe. I sell masks every so often w/ molded eye frames, and webs and the fabric is actually dye subbed, and they normally go for about 240-270. the most one has ever gone for was $435, and that was right after the movie came out. 500+ is way too much.

I have been workin for a couple of months on my black symbiote costume, and apart from the plain black zentai suit i started with, its entirely hand crafted. Thats right, every last hexagon was drawn on with a silver pen! And i pieced the webbing together like a jigsaw lol took ages but it was worth it.
Id say its about 95% complete, just boots and gloves to go and I havent attached the lenses yet to the mask yet. Heres the first pic of me wearin it...

Hi everyone,
This is my first post ever on superherohype. First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has added anything to this board over the past several years about how to make a spidey costume. I have been reading this board for a long time and would never have attempted to make a costume without the input of so many talented people. I have been working with Fettster over the past 2 months to make my first ever Spidey costume. Fettster provided me with the lenses/frames and the base print. The suit is hand-sewn and I took a page from Spidey4fun and attached aqua shoes to the feet. The suit is not quite finished - I still have to apply webbing to the right foot - I used 2 layers of acrylic paint for the webbing which takes forever (silver layer laid over a black layer). Fettster has been amazing to work with and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is the one who encouraged me to post these pics. Please let me know what you guys think of my new costume.

If you are talking about 'HollywoodVault', it is as legit as it gets. Sony is sub-contracting them to sell all the stuff. They all come with COA's from Sony and online authentication numbers.

Hey everyone, thanks for the positive feedback. To answer a few questions:

Spiderman C - The spiders are actually Kris's from Hell's Kitchen - The front spider was originally black but I painted the top with acrylic gunmetal grey paint.

Wakekid87 - There are actually 3 invisible zippers. There is one zipper in each armpit that zips down to the middle of the back (They meet in the middle) just beneath the back "belt." I also installed a 14" zipper in the middle seam up the back of the mask so the mask can be pulled down to get a drink or just some fresh air.

As for the lenses and the webbing - The lenses are a little off but they are already super glued down - Oh well. If I ever make another suit I did figure out how to line them up better. I also realized a little too late that the webbing was not thick enough but had to maintain consistency throughout the suit. Next time, I'll do a thicker line.

For those who have used urethane webbing, have you found that gluing the webs onto the fabric while flat and un-sewn gets the best results, or gluing the webbing onto the fabric after it has been sewn together and on a manikin is best? I am asking this because i am wondering if i were to glue webs on before sewing, will the fabric want to stretch to fit me but will the glue on the webbing not allow for the stretch?

I think both is the way to go. for the main part glueing most of the webbing down in the sections where it doesnt have to be joined should be done flat and then when thats finished to be put onto a manakin and joined up, I think this is also especially important for the writs.

Hey

i just thought i'd shared these. I thought if we could maybe discuss the costume from the first movie and well they did a job on it. Now that we have had 3 main different costume and seen how they've each evolved including the different techniques i think this would be interesting.!!!

Here are some links to some spiders, I'm personally really proud of the back spider which took about half a day to draw. Now the foot i wana see if anyone can figure out. I'm a comfortable size ten but i wanted see if i could ither sculpt or make another way accurate spiderman boots. So i scanned it in a tried creating some sort of template... I've gotten half way with it making it out of foam but i was curious to see if others would be interested in the process.

Vic:D[/quote]

Vic,
I'll try to describe how I applied the webbing although I wish I had some pics as it would make more sense.

I pre-streched the costume pieces (prior to sewing) onto a cutting board so they would be flat and clamped down the edges. Then I applied 2 layers of acrylic paint - the bottom layer is matte black and the top layer is silver. Anywhere near the edge of the piece (i.e. where a seam would soon be), I did not apply webs. Then, I sewed up the webbed pieces of the costume. As for the seams, I stuffed the costume with plastic bags/pillows to stretch the seams and then applied the webs along the seams. The reason the right foot is not webbed is that after pre-webbing the left foot and sewing in the sole, I discovered that most of the webs broke despite pre-stretching because you have to turn the shoe inside out which puts a great deal of strain on the boot portion. I am planning to just stuff the right shoe and web it that way. Finally, there were a few web breaks in the hand/arm pieces despite pre-stretching. Web breaks can be easily fixed by removing the web that broke (It peels up easily when broken) and repeating the above process.

I know that's kind of long-winded but I hope it makes sense.
Thanks for the complement.

From what i have seen it looks like Oillie applys his webs onto the fabric while flat and un sewn.

You did a fantastic job. The suit looks organic the way you did the silver details. Since it is a symbiote, the more organic and flowing the suit looks, the better the affect.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the webs..... the width of the base of the web strands, height, and the angle of the beveled edge of the webs? How about the hight of the spiders (chest and back)? I am in the process of making webs, so the info will help.

id say their height is a little thicker then a nikel. and id say you should just experiment with the angle; make test molds.

it would probably be easier to buy a set, make a negative mold, and then use that to make your webs from then on out. =)

For those who have used urethane webbing, have you found that gluing the webs onto the fabric while flat and un-sewn gets the best results, or gluing the webbing onto the fabric after it has been sewn together and on a manikin is best? I am asking this because i am wondering if i were to glue webs on before sewing, will the fabric want to stretch to fit me but will the glue on the webbing not allow for the stretch?
I've done both ways and have found that it's actually easier to glue the webs on after the suit has been sewn. It seems that if you put the webs on before, they kinda get in the way while sewing.

Forrest S,
that's a pretty good try for a black mask.
just a little constructive feedback,
if you upgraded your frames to the movie style version and made your webbing a bit more duller, it'll look even hotter.

Thanks you very much young-nyc! that must have taken some time on your part in photoshop just to help me out. Thank you! With movie accurate frames and lenses on thier it makes a world of difference! thanks for the positive critism. I will soon make another with the screen printed pattern and movie accurate frames and lenses. i just need to know where to find that fine steel mesh for the lenses. Thanks again!

hey man, im glad to see your mask is doing to so well on ebay. It looks great. ill tell you its very suprising to see a price that high for just the mask of the suit. but it looks really good. I have one question, how do you apply your dimensional paint. straight from the bottle onto the fabric with a steady hand. because i dont see any bubbles or blobs or mistakes whatsoever. is there a special tip you use or way you apply it? it looks awesome and i was just wondering. thanks!

i'd have to say your goblin mask seems alot more accurate than the ebay one. is yours electronic?

thanks. the trees doing well.

the goblin helmet came out the same molds as the screen used one so its 100% accurate, i had to make the lenses tho so they are just glued in

Thanks for the ideas, but i would prefer not make molds from someone else's webbing it doesn't seem right. I know it takes time and money to make/ design these things and i don't want to disrespect those who have put in so much effort ( even though ironically we are copying James Acheson's work). I really admire the work and dedication that people have put into their suits. That is why i am trying to make my own set of webs from from picture references and from info I have seen over the years on this board. If anyone else has any good intel on web dimensions please feel free to let me know. Thanks

Hey that looks good. I would'nt mind seeing someone attempt a New Goblin mask. (Just to see the eyes move and such, even though it's not much of a mask)

I'll try to describe how I applied the webbing although I wish I had some pics as it would make more sense.

I pre-streched the costume pieces (prior to sewing) onto a cutting board so they would be flat and clamped down the edges. Then I applied 2 layers of acrylic paint - the bottom layer is matte black and the top layer is silver. Anywhere near the edge of the piece (i.e. where a seam would soon be), I did not apply webs. Then, I sewed up the webbed pieces of the costume. As for the seams, I stuffed the costume with plastic bags/pillows to stretch the seams and then applied the webs along the seams. The reason the right foot is not webbed is that after pre-webbing the left foot and sewing in the sole, I discovered that most of the webs broke despite pre-stretching because you have to turn the shoe inside out which puts a great deal of strain on the boot portion. I am planning to just stuff the right shoe and web it that way. Finally, there were a few web breaks in the hand/arm pieces despite pre-stretching. Web breaks can be easily fixed by removing the web that broke (It peels up easily when broken) and repeating the above process.

I know that's kind of long-winded but I hope it makes sense.
Thanks for the complement.

I understand..I think?!?!?!:woot: :huh:
Thanks for explaining!

Heh... thats flattering. No, i do a special layering of puff paint to give it the extra bit of dimension that puff paint always lacks... And as far as no bubbles, you just take a lot of time and make sure every so often that the air in the bottle is at the back, and not right in the tip, or it'll pop out getting puff paint everywhere ruining the mask

Also, i'm pretty sure it would be impossible to make the new goblin mask automated the way it is in the movie. It essentially dissapears into nowhere behind his head..

A big Hello to everyone here! this is my first post and I am astounded to find a source like this where like-minded artists can display their art and help each other out.
I have been workin for a couple of months on my black symbiote costume, and apart from the plain black zentai suit i started with, its entirely hand crafted. Thats right, every last hexagon was drawn on with a silver pen! And i pieced the webbing together like a jigsaw lol took ages but it was worth it.
Id say its about 95% complete, just boots and gloves to go and I havent attached the lenses yet to the mask yet. Heres the first pic of me wearin it...


I'd love to know what you guys think, I'll upload some more pics soon :)


What did you use for the brick pattern? Like does is smear/smudge?

While the ability of the mask to fully retract was added through CGI, they did have practical masks too. One was static, the other was motorized and could retract fairly far back. They simply took footage of that mask in operation and tweaked it using CGI to make it appear that it went all the way behind his head. A motorized mask is completely feasible (Since at least one has already been made), so long as you don't expect it to compress into a singularity behind your head.

im thinking, if you had a nuematic pump with a snap lock system, this could make a fairly good mask.

say its normal form is when it's open[behind your head]. and when you close it, it snaps together in the front. while you closed it, its guided along nuematic pumps (like a water gun pump). and there's a release button on the side, that unsnaps , and the pressure from the pumps snap it back around?

Not to be negative but nobody's paid $1000 for a mask until they've PAID $1000 for a mask. Best of luck to Mclean_Krieger on completing the transaction (that would be ONE HECK of a score!) Unfortunately $1000 is a tough pill to swallow once the bidding is closed and the reality is that buyers remorse does exist. That selling price has got to set a new record for a mask sale, I just hope the buyer is good to his end of the bargain. CONGRATS on what is hopefully a great sale Mclean! :yay:

The black lycra arrived today. Its a cotton lycra with a black mesh pattern screened onto it. Should work OK for the black suit. It kind of has a wet look to it.
