I agree that this is a neat take on the Spidey look.

Very nice. Are you sewing the zentai suit yourself? If you are you are a god among sewers. I made a Spiderman 2099 mask by hand and I was cursing myself every time it moved a millimeter.

Little update, the webshooters im having made by the guy over at 4th wall showed me a wip pic so i wanted to share with you guys.

For those of you who haven't used 4th Wall, I highly reccommend! Laban is speedy, talented, and fairly priced! Check him out on the facebook! Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More

It was already stitched together but as it was a cheap suit the stitching wasn't very strong so i re did the whole suit, didn't take as long as i thought lol.

I was hoping to have this finished this week but i'm still waiting for my eye lenses and web shooters from Laban.

Any news on this?

Yeah small update the guy who was making the eye frames and web shooters ended up sending them to my old address, then found out it was the wrong items sent so had to send it back.

fingers crossed they should be here this coming week and the suit will be complete lol.

Ok new update, webshooters and eye frames arrived today so i've glued the eye frames on and they look massive! almost perfect for a comic book style costume so im happy with how it turned out.
excuse the poor angel of the photo self shot with a mask on is a nightmare lol.

next task is the belt, belt pods and buckle then the ankle pockets.

 

[SqueekinOrka]

That looks awesome and i really like the eyes. With the huge white frame and well just how they look. Great costume

 

[TaylorMcManus]

I love those eyes! This is coming out awesome!

 

[Web_Slinger]

half suited up photo.

slightly better self shot this time lol.

 

[AZspidey]

This all looks fantastic!

 

[Web_Slinger]

i'll take a few more tomorrow when the sun comes back out so it'll show off the awesomeness of this suit and you'll see the web pod bracers as well, which are seriously cool lol.

 

[Web_Slinger]

Little update for people.

I doubt i'll be finishing the costume any time soon as im having trouble finding ankle pouches and i am also struggling with the belt pods and buckle, i could take the easy way out and just get random bits from ebay but i want to do the costume right so i'll be working on making the belt pods and buckles myself which knowing my luck will be a pain in the ass, that and finding leather pouches to fit the ankles is almost impossivle.

[spder15]

I was lucky enough to find some help with the ankle pouches and ended up getting these, LEATHER GUN PELLET POUCH *NEW* WITH BELT LOOP | eBay pretty much spot on for what i wanted, i just need the leather straps now to hold them in place.

the way i did mine i can run, jump, flip and skid across the floor without worry, if i have time tomorrow i will make a video for you explaining the whole process i used to make the soles of the shoes as strong as possible.
