Hey guys!
Where the hell did my topic go????
Anyone who was interested please reply again.
I had a spare couple of hours ,so I had a play at making the movie mask(well half a mask really),well just a test with raised webbing.Although it was far from perfect(hell,what do you expect for two hours),I now know how to do it if need be.Of course to duplicate the movie suit would very...difficult.As the paragraph (from someone at Sony)below shows;
"Lastly, I may as well offer impressions of the suit (having made it my duty to sidle up as close to the two stunt Spideys as often as possible). It rocks. It's two-layered, with a very thin, sculpted muscle suit (a la Batman) underneath the Spidey suit. The colors are muted a bit, but come to life under the lights. The webbing is a masterstroke. Having it raised off the costume lets it become visible in deep shadow as light catches it. And the mask is a three(!)-layered deal, closer to a helmet (though it looks comic-perfect on the outside). A tight ski-mask, then a plastic face-plate that gives the mask its signature shape, then the mask on top. The eye-pieces pop in and stand out from the mask slightly. At this point they're tinted just like sunglasses, but do smear whitish when reflecting light. I'm sorry, guys, but this is as accurate as anybody could ever get. It's perfect. These stunt guys are walking around looking like action figures "
Difficult...but not impossible.

Have a look at my TESTS(just 2 hours worth of test remember)
