In order to get the correct position and spacing, you would need 4 things:
-Mannequin's head
-FaceShell
-Super Glue
-Lots of patience.
With my recent Symbiote and Scarlet Spider suit I used a new mannequin's head I got from Party City. Very cheap, foam, $5.
You slip your faceshell onto the mannequin head and position the frames of the mask onto the eyes of the head.
Then you take your frames and position them over your faceshell. This is a good way to determine how it matches with your face shell in terms of distance in between. Notice how the eyes of my mask aren't too close. They are about an inch apart from each other, starting at the front edges. To position the top edge of the frames, you want to make sure they are aligned onto a line and spaced between a certain number of web blocks on your fabric. Normally they should be spaced about 4-6 blocks away from each other.

If you see the bottom picture, my mask is pulled down and tightened around my head and shell. The shell I used was a Wal-Mart Ultimate Spidey mask. The area where the eyes go on the fabric, sink into the mask and it helps me determine position as well. I cut a small hole within the center of those areas. Then I place, not glue the frames over the frames of the face shell and tape them to figure out if they are properly aligned or spaced too far apart or too close. Once you get the proper adjustments, you tape the frames against the fabric at the sides, not the edges or corners. You want to secure the corners first with glue to make sure they stay at their anchor points of placement. Once the glue dries and the frames are secure, then go about gluing the rest of the frames.
