Amazing Spider Man 2 screen print costume attempt...

[thejakemoore]

The blue and red bricks were printed, not the webs. I just don't think it's possible with how screen-printing is done to get that kind of thickness, unless you're screen printing many many layers.

Something that nobody seems to be taking advantage of with Lunaman's photos is how obvious the seam lines are. The mask looks like it's very similar to McLean's shapes, and the shoulders are way different from the other patterns out there. And obviously, all the red and blue pieces are separate and then sewn together.

luna real good pictures it does not seem they used the same raimi type design for the face by looking at the direction of the brick....how do you think the design was made?????

Yeah! That's a crazy number of pieces! Your pattern looks very accurate

Your pelting looks very good, though I will point out that the front belt is only one piece, not three:

@Jake, it's entirely possible to screenprint webs that thick. The fact that the webs are uniformly bonded to the material and made of the same substance as the bricks on the blue portions of the pattern seems to indicate that they were screen printed.


As for the chest spider, I haven't mentioned this yet, but the border of the emblem is the same material as the rest of the webs and blended into them, but it has a thin separate material bonded to the top surface that is more reflective, like an iron-on transfer in the shape of the spider. This makes the chest spider stand out a bit more than the webs and reflect more light than they do from any direction. The rear spider seems to have a similar treatment, though it was impossible to get a good look at it in the display.

Why do people believe that the webs aren't screen printed? None of the applique webs from the Raimi films ever adhered or aligned so perfectly, and you can see the subtle texture consistent with screen inks. There are several methods to screen print 3D texture. Puff additives, High-Density inks, puff plastisols, and silicone inks like the ones they used on the Superman/Man of Steel costume to make the chainmail. The silicone puff inks seem likely because they'd exceed the flexibility of the 4-way stretch fabric. I can't think of any reason to assume they used anything else for the webs or blue bricks - is there some documentation I haven't seen on the suit's construction that points to applied webs?

The whole suit is screen printed, just some people won't want to believe it for some reason

In the past several months I have learned so much from everybody on this forum and I wish to thank everyone. It just goes to show you how much creativity, and research and development go into these costumes. And it makes me appreciate the people responsible even more. It's nice to know and be a part of a much larger group of hobbyist who share the same passion for detail.

God I can't wait to see the rest of this build...

Will this be available for purchase? I am making a suit and this is exactly what I'm looking for fabric wise but I don't know how to do it myself. If it is I would like to be on the list.

Hey Oracle, it's been a while since your last update. Any news on fabric or screen-printing the webs?
