How about sunglasses? Break them and use them for lenses.

I'm doing a kind of low-budget, home-grown hipster Spider-Man for Halloween.

Gunga Diner · 08-31-2011, 08:34 PM

That'd be cool, but not what I'm going for. I like the homemade aspect of it though. There's something a little more exciting about seeing a version of Spider-Man that isn't the movie version or a halloween store version.

Gunga Diner · 08-31-2011, 09:06 PM

Do they make Zentai/Morph suits in any materials other than spandex and lycra?

Spidermatrix53 · 09-01-2011, 05:27 PM

I'm using pants and gloves and such with a stylized backpack. It will be skinnier than this, but...

Also, Converse-style shoes/socks combo instead of the tennis shoe/baggy legs thing in this picture.

jrenemtz123 · 09-02-2011, 04:23 PM

Is anybody offering the Amazing Spidey suit? I'm dying for one.

BmacAttack · 09-07-2011, 04:07 PM

Hey guys, I just got a red zentai suit to use for a Spidey costume. I ordered a crimson one as I wanted a deeper red color but it turned out a bit more like maroon. It looks great in bright light but not so much in shadow. the mask also is not exactly what I want. I guess I need to sew a mask. Anyone got any tips for non raised webbing? I dont want to do screen printing as I dont really have the money right now. Will a fabric pen work maybe?

Fabric pens are tricky on spandex, ive tried it myself and the fabric kind of soaks up the ink and makes it difficult to get an even pattern and color distribution. for webs i would use 3D fabric paint, it makes it pop and gives the suit some dimension without having to use urethaine raised webs. im making a black suit and i bought a zentai suit also and i also hate the mask that came with it, its ill fitting and has some wierd chin piece sewn in. if you or anyone come up or have a solution to finding a better mask of a pattern for sewing one that would be most awesome and helpful.

Webs i made out of hot glue and twine from my fan film, I'm going to attempt to use a thicker twine and silicone like they did in the previous spider-man films.

hey nice pics....how did u make it? can u plz share.....if u have a replica of the web used in the movie....plz share how to make it...

regards

Troy_Parker · 09-09-2011, 04:20 PM

You could probably get a similar effect with clear tape. Get two strips, and, like... roll(??) each one as fine as you can, then wrap them around each other.

Just wanted to throw that out for anyone who doesn't have access to a hot-glue gun, etc.

SpideyScott · 09-09-2011, 05:09 PM

@spideyfan07
its just hot glue over twine.
theres 2 ways you can do it, lay it down on tin foil or hang the twine from the ceiling, i personally recommend hanging it from the ceiling.
But I wouldn't reccomend using twine, I'm going to try to get a dowel, spray paint it white and cover it with glue. I think that will be more realistic looking. cause the twine looks pretty bad close up. you can obviously tell its twine.

Troy_Parker · 09-09-2011, 05:29 PM

How about a few long strands of fishing wire with hot glue..?

Kind of related... well, not really. lol, but has anyone ever used those iron on things? Y'know, the transfer paper? I was planning on printing out a spider logo onto the front/back of a shirt. lol

SpideyScott · 09-09-2011, 07:58 PM

I'm yet to try fishing line, I'm going to try fishing line with silicone on it. (what they used for the first 3 films). I'll post pics when I'm done.

As for the iron on things, I tried to make a punisher shirt with it. Horrible Quality. peels off like crazy. I reccomend just buying a shirt.

how did they make the webs in the movie....i want to make a replica of the exact thing.......and might be some shooters for it........so wanna know the exact way to make it.......as i might be webbing things in my room to pick them up....

LegendaryCaleb · 09-10-2011, 01:51 AM

does anyone make any spider-man costumes for other people?
im willing to spend $500 or so for an awesome one...i wanna have a heck of a halloween costume this year

SpideyScott · 09-10-2011, 07:57 AM

@calebyourmaster
Frontier costuming is selling a printed replica suit from the New Reboot along with lenses but you have to put the lenses on and sew it yourself for $365

Can't wait to see it!

And thanks, I guess I'll just do that, lol.

Ok here's a taster.

Troy_Parker · 09-10-2011, 10:16 PM

SWEET.

Is that the final webshooter design?

Spider-mandrew · 09-10-2011, 11:06 PM

@spidey2012 wow man. just, wow. I'm not even a fan of the new movie suit very much, but I love this suit youve made. wow.

SpideyScott · 09-11-2011, 09:30 AM

@spidey2012,
i swear when you start commissioning these suits your going to be rich!
Personally I don't really like the web shooters but man, I gotta give you props man the suit looks great! Can't wait to buy one.

spidey2012 · 09-11-2011, 11:15 AM

Thanks all

I'm just waiting to put it on and takes some pics with a proper camera and not a webcam. Theres a shell in there but i couldn't get it to stand up with the mannequin i got cos there no neck lol.

The webshooters were based of tiny pixelated images from the first pictures. I would never trade organics for webshooters any day of the week..

by the end of this week I think I should be finished. can't wait to put it on.

spidey2012 · 09-11-2011, 11:16 AM

@Troy parker

No i had to make these by hand but i did design some in 3D, just not making it that way this time round as it's not feasible.

Troy_Parker · 09-11-2011, 02:32 PM

Very cool.

Here's the clearest picture of the webshooters around in case you plan on making another pair.
