Hey guys, I am very, very late for this, but I'm giving it a shot after all. I bought Taylor McManus' print, and it looks beautiful, kudos, and thank you Taylor. Got it printed by Fabric on demand. Got my suit back from the local seamstress yesterday, and I must say, I'm a little disappointed. She did a somewhat sloppy job all over, but I couldn't wait any longer. Unfortunately, I didn't puff paint it before I got it sewn up. The worst problem for now is that the black lines that tell you were to sew and not to sew wasn't folled ast good as it could have been. The hands are looking a little weird, and the seamstress managed to put the thumbs half an inch outside of the black lines to follow for thumbs. My zipper is located on the back, which I somewhat regret, but I think it won't be a big problem. My neck might be just a bit too long for the mask to cover my neck if I move in certain ways.
Can't really afford to a proper face shell at the moment, so I got one from Hasbro, and Elope sunglasses for lenses.
Having a LOT of trouble attaching the lenses, but I'm thinking about buying rediculously small magnets. Super glue (Loctite) failed miserably.

The suit is a bit baggy around my butt, but then again I have quite a small butt. It fits quite nicely on the upper body, and I think I got pretty close to Andrew Garfield «torso» in this pic, other than that I'm 6'3" and he's.. 5'10"?


As you can see, she totally bummed out on the right thumb. The left is not so bad though. This pick reminded me quite a lot of one of Andrew’s shots. Still need to exercise and get
the legs to fit properly though, and I might add a sewing dart in the crotch my self to get a tighter fit. Again, she didn't follow the lines. I've got no pictures of the mask yet unfortunately, seeing that I didn't yet attach the lenses.
But on a distance, the suit looks good.
The feet also look a little weird, but I guess I’m going to get the Asics after a while as well.
Back zipper, regret it, but I think it’ll work anyways. If you look at the web lines, in any of the pictures you can see that it’s not lined up as good as it should be, but I guess it’s a difficult suit to sew, and hard to sew lycra at all.

Questions.
Thanks guys!

Questions.
- What do you think about adding a sewing dart in the crotch, getting a tighter fit around the thighs and crotch?
- How critical is it that the fabric is stretched when applying puff paint? Planning on going for slick deep red, black for web lines and maybe navy blue for the black honey comb pattern.
- Black or blue honey comb pattern?
- And what would be the best way to go from here? I really regret not puff painting before having it sewn.
- Would just stretching it out and placing pins on it to keep it there still work properly? Afraid to ruin the seams.
- Tips for physique is very welcome! I posted in the fitness thread, but now you have some reference pics to see what I need to work on.
Thanks guys!
