Amazing Spider-Man 2 W.I.P. (Pic Heavy)

[Coshabogbrae]

Hey everyone, sorry its been a while but i've been really busy with work and had little time to spend on the suit but more importantly I have pics of the finished shoes!

I used an adhesive called: "E6000" (pic below of the bottle) and attached the suit to a the soles of a pair of water/aqua shoes i cut the tops off of. The process was actually really simple, and if anyone wants me to explain it more thoroughly i'd be happy to do it, but it really was pretty much applying the glue all over the part of the shoes i'd be standing on, and then standing on it with my feet in the suit. I put a pair of shoes in the suit to help give it a more structured look and it ensured that the glue wouldn't stick to my feet through the fabric!

The only difficult part was waiting, as the glue takes up to 72 hours to fully dry, but i let it dry for the full 72 because i wasn't in a rush. I stood in the shoes for about 3-4 hours to help apply more intense pressure for the beginning of the drying process, and then placed the shoes under a mattress with weight on it, this way it helped keep the pressure being applied equal, and obviously so I wouldn't have to stand in them for 3 days!

I have to give a big shoutout to the member on here by the name of Lunaman for the help with this process, as well as his thread, because without it i'd probably be still trying to sew them together. But this glue is incredibly solid, and i've given it a good, solid test, and i can confidently say i could probably run a marathon in these and they won't come apart, so to anyone glueing shoes to their suits i highly recommend you consider this option!

Anyways, pics below! Enjoy!

Very good work! I want to make a tasm 2 cosplay once I'm done with my current project do you have any tips?

The colors and puff paint work a very high quality, you have done an excellent job!

I have question on how the head gets assembled for you if you don't mind: Having seen quite a few threads that show the face shell and lenses, the pictures always show the lenses attached to the face shell and then a pick up the suit sandwiched between the face shell and lenses. In the sandwiching step how is everything connected? Are there holes in the spandex that are smaller then lenses and the the lens and face shell are all glued together, or are very precise holes cut in the spandex and then stretched around the edges of the lenses every time you put your mask on, or how exactly does it all go together?

This is... dare I say it: "Amazing", it resembles the film and the comics so much!

Thanks guys!

I would recommend you read the posts I've written on this thread (specifically the first post on the first page) as i explain the basic step by step process I took while making it. But if you have any detailed questions, or anything that i haven't answered feel free to PM me

The process is actually incredibly simple! The lenses (you can see pics of it on the first page, in my first post) are connected to the faceshell by magnets. Each lens has 3 magnets, for a total of 6. I got them from Tjack, and the magnet he used are a very strong, and small, "rare earth magnet".
They are strong enough that you don't have to cut any holes in the mask. I simply take the lenses off the faceshell, slide the mask over it and align the eyeholes i cut out with the holes in the faceshell, and then place the lenses over them. As you mentioned the power of the magnets essentially "sandwiches" the mask between the lens and faceshell, providing a clean look. I posted pics of what I'm talking about below to help give you a better idea!

Hope this helps!

Really, really great work man, and a very thorough tutorial. The suit looks absolutely fantastic! And as with many folk on here, you're very respectful and appreciative of guys who put the work in before you. Always great to see. Enjoy being Spidey =]

The process was literally cutting the top off the aqua shoe?

Yeup! If you look closely in the second pic, the black stuff beside the sole of the shoe was the mesh on top. I literally went around the shoe with and exacto knife and cut it off. It only took a few mins because the knife was really sharp, but if you mess up and leave a bit on, you can always use a lighter and burn off the remaining threads for a super clean look. But luckily for me I didn't have to do that.

But yes the process is as basic and easy as it sounds!

Awesome, going to be doing this for sure!

Very high quality work. In a word, AMAZING!

 

[yaniss]

have u used applicator tips for the black puffy paint?

 

[Coshabogbrae]

Yeah I used a 3mm tip on a separate 1oz bottle (both came in an "applicator kit") for applying the blue brick pattern, the black webbing, and both spiders.

You don't really need that small of a tip, a 5mm or 7mm would probably work well too, but the tip overall helps. And In my opinion the 3mm was easiest because it helps control the consistency of the paint when you're squeezing the bottle so the webs look like straight lines and not blotchy etc.

So you cut the top of the aqua shoe off, and glued the bottom of that underneath the fabric for the costume...buuuttt....what did you put on the INSIDE? what kind of shoe?

I actually bought a second pair of the exact same aqua shoe lol. I've tried putting it inside the foot, and it works really well, but I've been bouncing back and forth between the aqua shoe, going bare feet, and I also have a pair of converse that give a solid boot structure. So I'm still looking for a "perfect" shoe for what I'd like it to look like, but to answer your question it's a second pair of the exact same shoe in the pics above, only i didn't alter them in anyway, so they still have the tops on to help with the "boot structured look" and hide my toes.

Hey everyone, just a quick update. I just painted the back spider and am now finished all the painting I'm doing to this suit! Im glad I waited until the suit was fully sewn to paint it, because it covers the seam line down the middle of the spider really well.

Once the paint dries in a few hours I'm hoping to upload a few test pics of me in the suit. I'm also planning to get the shoes tomorrow. I've decided to get with aqua/water shoes for now, but might switch to kung-fu shoes later on for inside the shoe to give it a structured look. And I'm also hoping to find a second pair that I can rip apart for the soles that go on the bottom (outside) of the foot.

Anyways enjoy the pics and more updates are coming very soon!

Awesome work! Question here is about what colour of red you've used. Is this just the "Deep Red" tulip slick straight out of the bottle? I used puff paint for spiders on my TASM1 suit and will do the same on my TASM2. Great job!

I actually used the colour "True Red" its very similar to deep red, which many people, like yourself, used for the honeycomb on their tasm1 suits. But the main difference between the two is that true red has a brighter contrast in intense light. So if its sunny outside or you shine a flashlight on it in the dark the colour will pop more than the deep red in my opinion. Even though the tasm2 spider is a matte colour i still personally like the "sheen" look i chose more and recommend true red over deep red if you're going for the same look.

Hope that helps! And thanks for the kind words!

Brilliant, thanks! Yeah, the Spider looks great so I'll pick up some True Red and do some testing. Thanks!
