Re: Amazing Spiderman Suit using TaylorMcManus' print (Pic Heavy)
That actually looks incredible now. Really really nice

He's actually got a HUGE seam allowance, about 3/4" to 1" if I'm not mistaken. The seams are mostly sewn on the black lines. Anything past there gets taken up in the seam and won't be seen.
...so there are a lot of hand painted hexagons that are going to literally end up on the cutting room floor with this suit.

I went to all of my local craft stores and I couldn't find any of the tips i was looking for. I had to order them online so I am platting the waiting game for them to arrive. On a positive note: I found them online for $1.49 each! At that price I purchased 12 to play it safe.
While I have this 'time' I decided to work on the eyes. I'm going with TaylorMcManus' idea and prating on transparencies and using gold window tint to give the reflective effect. It took me about 2 hours in Photoshop to get the pattern just right, but I think I did! The size of the hexagons look perfect! (to me at least) I am luckily enough to have a laser printer at home so I was able to print them out right here. (You need to have them prated on a laser printer, inkjet will smudge) Here are some pics along with my reference image.

The gold tint is on order and should be here in a couple days. Now to figure out how to make the frames... :/
Joelai you mean print your reverse pattern on a transparent sheet like Jeffscpu says?

The honeycomb pattern seems too big. You should use mine at my Amazing Spiderman lenses WIP thread. I have a reverse honeycomb pattern file there. Just right click and save it. Print it out as A4 size. That will make yours look better.
Can we get some more pics of your progress please![]()
