Yep... Yetters masks are pretty cool.. They are very light, thin, and a little flexible so you dont feel like you're wearing a helmet.

Yep... my lenses. I use Yetters masks... that's why it looks like the masks I use. It is!!.

Another comic look mask with another style frames..

LOVE those! Definitely digging the comic style suits, Brad.

Is that still mesh you're using for the lenses?

Yep... with a very fine coat of paint.

 

[spiderfan970]

How did you paint over the mesh and have it look so good? That looks really great!

 

[inkmonkey]

Thanks Brad.

I am guessing he painted over a clear plastic that sits over top of the mesh. Maybe?

 

[spidey4fun]

Nope... just a very fine mesh. Airbrushed. No plastic... plastic just dont work in my experience.

 

[inkmonkey]

How's visibility?

Brad, have you considered doing The Spectacular Spider-Man from the new cartoon series? Either the lenses or the whole suit?

 

[spiderfan970]

Where might one acquire a mesh that fine and what might be its name?

 

[spidey4fun]

I buy it here in Australia so the people I buy it from probably arent much use to you... but all you need do is find a stainless steel mesh producer close to you. Just ask for a stainless steel 80 mesh. That's 6400 holes per inch. Only thing you might find is you have to buy it by the yard and it's not real cheap... so if you only need one pair of lenses it will be an expensive purchase.

Hey guys, this is my first post but I've been reading this thread for a long time. I just got my spider4fun comic mask in the mail today and i couldn't be happier with it I'm trying to attach photos but if anyone is looking for top notch work, spidey4fun is the way to go. Here are the images. Also the visibility is really good. Any other questions ask away.

Man I gotta get me one of those (Brad you will be seeing me buy one of your Comic Suits in the near future)...Even from far distances the paint on the frames look sharp top notch. On Blury photos you can still notice the Sharpness and Neatness on those frames, Lenses, and even Mask now that Brad has Upgraded his Printer. Nice job Brad and thanks for sharing your photos Spiderdude the only thing we need to see is some photos of someone wearing the entire comic suit that would be nice.

Hey Spiderdude.. I'm happy you like it. I dont have any pics of the full comic look suit yet. Hopefully soon enough I'll get some.

I think there is something wrong with the server page too many and are shown in each reply.

You can get a copper wire mesh at Hobby Lobby that is super fine and works for these types of lenses. The brand name starts with P (the name escapes me) and has a bird-type logo. Better to use an airbrush to paint it if you have one, but regular paint works too.

Can a Spider-man suit be altered for someone smaller?

Can a Spider-man suit be altered for someone smaller?

Depends on where it needs to be shortened. You can't alter much around the arms, because of the webs. Whether you're talking 3D webs or urethane, if you sew in to small you're going to mess up the web lines.. You can shorten a suit by sewing in further on the top and bottom of the blue leg pieces; right under the red belt, and right above the red boot pieces. You can't take off too much there though or it will mess with the overall proportional look of the suit. You can't take off any on pieces that are sewn up red on red because of web lines. Blue on blue can be done in certain places.. For example if the back is too baggy you could sew in further on the back blue pieces, but you have to be careful in how the sewing done or else you'll mess up the weblines of the back as well.

I think Brad can adjust his print sizes all together though. That wouldn't work with urethane webbing of course, because they wouldn't fit.

Schuurke's suits are made pretty small to begin with. When I Model the suits I've made, I'm only 5'6. But when I'm making his suits, I have it on a 6'2 mannequin to apply the webs. I've never had a problem with the webs breaking, or colors fading. The thing with Schuurke's suits is, the bigger you are and the more you stretch the suit, the better it looks.. That's why I assume he prints red on red fabric and blue on blue.
