Making the perfect Spidey suit

[Gundam]

mmmmmm Iron Man... looking great!

Brad, is that a new comic Spidey pattern?

SpideyC - Modify? Unless you are referring to the color I haven't done anything else. The frames and mesh are from S4F. The color is the same as I used on the spiders for that costume. I used a product from Smooth-On called Cast Magic (the color is called Silver Bullet). All I did was brush it on with a Q-tip and then seal it. I am interested in hearing more about said special paint...is it possible to purchase some?

I've Asked yuri from some of his paint a while ago it was a no go.

Hi.
My name is Andre. I'm from Brazil. I'm sorry but my english writing is very bad.

I'm trying to find a man called Tim. He had a Website (www.spidertim.com) but it is closed a long time ago and I lost contact with him. In that website he sold of excellent quality Spiderman's Costumes with details very similar to Tobey McGuire's Costume in the movie. I need urgently to find him. Does anybody know or anybody would know as I can find him? My personal e-mail is [email protected].
I thank all.
Andre

Hi Andre,

I don't know how to contact Tim, but there are a few people that have had bad deals with him in the past. There are several people on here that do as good of work as Tim, and some that are way better.

Hi there...i kinda need your help guys! I really need a costume of spiderman and another green goblin costume for a TV commercial. It's really hard for me to find the good one. It has to be something cool and not just some ordinary costume for halloween or party. HELP ME PLS! thank you so much for your help!

 

[AME]

I wish I could help you.. all I can tell you is that you should read all the posts (ghehe yea I know...) to find out how to make your own or something... I'm guessing that the ones who can actually be of an assistant to you will demand something in return even if it's just for a tip or something.
Just read the posts and you'll see what I mean

You say that you need these TWO costumes for a TV commercial, but that's all that you tell us. What product is it for? Which network? What is YOUR involvement in the commercial? How close do you want it to be to the movie version and how much are you willing to spend to get it that way? You sort of give the impression that you want someone here to just GIVE you these two costumes and be grateful to you because they will be "used in a commercial", which is probably why you haven't gotten much of a response from anyone. People often come here and post on this thread with only one or two posts to their name with a story about how the costume is for a film or a movie or a commercial, and would SOMEONE please just GIVE me a costume. These costumes take a lot of time and money to produce. If you're REALLY serious, you're going to have to give people here a little more info about the project and your budget (after all, you do have a commercial budget don't you?). No one is going to respond to you if they think you're just telling a story while looking for a freebee.

i do have information about the detail of TV commercial but I do not want to write all of those stuff here, if u understand. I prefer talking via email if the person is serious about this. are u trying to say that u can make it ? if not then let somebody else reply to me. Thanks

Agreed! I'm sorry to say I am also conntacted ENDLESSLY by people looking for spidey suits, Darth vader, Stormtroopers ect... for "TV, hospitals" ect... As soon as a price for my time is Given They back off or ask for a free suits.

Also where is said commercial being filmed? Do you have legal rights from marvel to use there character images?

Oh my, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that I was preventing others from replying to you. I'm so embarrassed.

Look, I was trying to help you understand why you're not getting any replies to your "request". My advice would be to look on eBay. They have some decent quality costumes there.

In all honesty (since you seem to have adopted a wee bit of an attitude), my patented "Bull-Crap Detector"(c) goes off whenever I read your posts.

1) You won't divulge any info about yourself or your "commercial".

2) You claim that you can only "talk" via e-mail.

3) You express impatience because we're not moving fast enough for you.

4) Despite the fact that ALL the info you want is here in this board, and despite the fact that you're in a hurry, you won't actually LOOK for the info like everyone else has had to. You just want us to serve everything up to you on a silver platter (I assume because as an important commercial producer, you don't have the time to trifle with things like research).

5) You seem a little demanding for someone that is asking for help.

6) Despite supposedly working in the field of media and communication, you don't seem to know how to capitalize words, utilize proper punctuation, spell correctly, or master sentence syntax and grammar.

Maybe I'm just over-tired (in fact, I KNOW that I am), but your just posting on this board for the FIRST TIME EVER and THEN demanding that all of the secrets be revealed to you, and then getting pissy because no one is meeting your time-table (after all, you're in a hurry), annoys me a touch. Perhaps others might feel differently. (But I doubt it.)

Instead of copping an attitude with me, why don't you simply take the time to post about yourself and get to know a few people here. Prove that you're legitimate, and also do your own research. Perhaps then you'll find people here a little more willing to help you once they know that they can trust you.

 

[spidey4fun]

What sort of Green Gob suits have you guys seen out there? Has anyone made a Willem Dafoe suit replica?

 

[AME]

Yes, I saw one a while back.
It was just a green lycra suit with plates on it and the mask
Dunno how the real one was made though...

 

[Brogz007]

I too saw a set of Goblins plates on eBay a long time ago. Who was the guy making the (kickass) Replica Pumkin Bombs? I sure he'd have plenty of links.

The under-suit appeared to be a 1-piece motorbike leather suit sprayed green. Possibly custom made tho because the Goblin suit had an entirely 'crinkled' look that is only used in the knees on most suits. I can take a pic of mine if you don't know what i'm on about.

Hi Guys,

I would like to finally the show the forum something new.

I've been (with some help from some people) taking my time to perfect my spidey costume to the best of my ability and while I'm still not there. I hope ill will crack it 100% next time round.
I believe I've reworked every aspect and using the same exact source's as they did in the movie for some of the key parts of the costume.

I have been eager to post a sneak peak of it in the wake of when it should be completed. My hope is by this weekend but this costume experience has been plagued from the very start lol, for example this progress shot was taken at least two months ago. but I have been so very busy. I'll post more this weekend, figures crossed!

Please leave comments..

The blue Is prefect the red is a little off to me. Who made the spiders ands webs?

WOW, you think the blue is perfect.. I'm gobsmacked. Please bare in mind that this was taken under florescent strip lighting, but I really thought the blue needed working on.

I've gone through 1 year of sourcing the fabrics and color matching, and I've got it close (to my liking) that I've got one more color matching test to come until I'll stop with it for good... From my experience. In the wrong light(or right however you look at it) the Red can look orange. It does look like a pure red from my naked eye though. As to any more info I am designing a wee website showcasing the work. I took plenty of progress pics but I have to get them ready for the web. Everything was created in CAD and for the stuff to come - was recreated in 3D programs.

Appreciate the input Gundam.

 

[spidey4fun]

Looks good. Will you be showing pics of how you turned the CAD drawings into webbing?

LOL, all in good time Brad ... actually, I know from reading through a lot of this board where this is going so just to clear things up, when I'm ready to reveal how I made this I will, please do not not start jumping the fence etc. I'm not here to argue, just show case my work and learn from others.
