Well, this is the start of a three build thread.
I've been lurking for ages getting ideas and the like and although I've got a TK, I've been in the mood to do something different for myself and my girlfriend wants in on the act too.
I've decided to go for a Comic Spidey for myself, the girlfriend, who I'll refer to as Miss D cos it's easier than 'the girlfriend'....initially wanted to go for Ms. Marvel (the golden lightening strike version as opposed to the star flash version) and I posted a question on this forum to see what would be the perfect 'partner' for spidey....overwhelmingly it was Blackcat.....so, on that basis, she changed her mind and agreed, however, still wants to go with Ms. Marvel. Guess what !! Were doing both....
As for spidey, i decided to go for the McFarlane styel spidey and have sorted out frames from Brad. I also didn't want to go for a complete printed suit, so bad is sorting me out with urethane spiders for the front and back. The face shell has been sorted too and was lucky enough to get in the run that was on here earlier last week.
I'm still unsure whether to go for a one piece costume or to go with a two piece and have a separate mask. If I go one piece and remembering I will have a urethane spider on the back, the zip wont be able to go up the back, should I zip it from the underarm and down along the belt at the back and back up the other arm ? Any advice would be great.
As for Miss Ds costumes, I'm just in the process of measuring up. I'll be using Cire Lycra (wet look) for both.
I found a link for a wig, but lost it....I think it's on here under someone else's Blackcat, so I'll check that out.
I'll post pics of what I'm using as reference tomorrow and will post the ongoing build here...
Any comments are MORE than welcome.
