MCL34N's Amazing Spidey- 1 Year Later (New Pics Bottom of 29)

Hey everyone! A while back I decided I wanted to tackle the new "Amazing Spiderman" mask and I thought I would post some pics of what I've got so far! I didn't have much of a budget for this project so I knew printing on Lycra was out of the question, so I just decided to go the classic puff-paint route! I started from scratch, realizing that the old Spidey pattern wouldn't work for this mask, since all of the webbing detail is different. Anyway, here are some progress pics, each with a brief description above it. Enjoy!

Click to see the pics-
I started with a quick material test, just to see how difficult this would be. It wasn't too bad, so I decided to press on. (The colors are way too bright here, so I had to change them a bit later on.)

I then started work on my pattern. For those of you who have seen my work, you'll notice that I'm very fond of tin foil :lol

419368_902346857689_18812244_39003804_1587008264_n.jpg




I then flattened the tin-foil out in the shape of my rough patterns.

417464_902346902599_18812244_39003805_543390550_n.jpg




My rough tin-foil pattern refined a bit-

423371_902346937529_18812244_39003806_510060880_n.jpg




Then put onto fabric for the initial mask-

420943_902346967469_18812244_39003807_474181699_n.jpg




The first mask all sewn together. As you can see, way too loose. That's the point of a first draft though!

418493_902347002399_18812244_39003808_1414418005_n.jpg




So I then pinned the mask up to get a better shape, along with the first draft of a lens template-

64192_902349133129_18812244_39003817_1766857523_n.jpg




For the lens material itself, I realized my front gate had a similar texture (Though not a honeycomb pattern)

423010_902350290809_18812244_39003823_881796412_n.jpg




So, I set it up to have a silicone mold made-

427129_902347042319_18812244_39003809_218364715_n.jpg




Then put liquid plastic into the silicone mold to make my lens-

426994_904521414859_18812244_39010572_1378149830_n.jpg




A more refined mask with a rough lens on it-

432197_902347087229_18812244_39003810_643783041_n.jpg




I then started to sketch out the web pattern-

417165_902347112179_18812244_39003811_1097383522_n.jpg




The finalized web pattern-

425056_902347142119_18812244_39003812_1930342777_n.jpg




Annd then taken apart and laid out flat-

404917_902347172059_18812244_39003813_369410617_n.jpg




Then I made a template for the shading and brick pattern-

429171_902537844949_18812244_39005198_245636859_n.jpg




The first piece shaded-

417493_904521320049_18812244_39010568_1298066699_n.jpg




Annd the rest. I went a bit heavy with the shadows, and didn't really get some of the highlights I wanted, such as the cheek bones. I blame the fact that I was painting outside at night with practically no light.

425231_904521349989_18812244_39010569_259288366_n.jpg




Ready to lay the Honeycomb texture. Note my hastily made light table. Like I said, practically no budget.

425845_904521384919_18812244_39010570_907048148_n.jpg




The lenses refined and ready for some gold-

425799_904521434819_18812244_39010573_1156831868_n.jpg




The honeycomb laid on the face piece. Ready for webbing!

426436_904521459769_18812244_39010574_1681881155_n.jpg




The frames for the lenses being cast with liquid plastic-

428334_904934257519_18812244_39012443_1475507762_n.jpg




The lenses painted gold-

428022_904934267499_18812244_39012444_1167265937_n.jpg




Annnd the finished face piece, all ready to be sewn-

420047_904934297439_18812244_39012445_1869715961_n.jpg




The refined frames ready to be molded-

417119_905500971819_18812244_39016963_1441150519_n.jpg




Wearing the sewn up mask! Now all that's left is to lay the webbing to hide the seams, and glue on the lenses!

430024_905500991779_18812244_39016964_11024329_n.jpg




The mask on a bust so I can lay on the final webbing. I also pinned the lenses on (roughly) with the old foam frame. The final plastic frames aren't as thick.

418099_905501001759_18812244_39016965_140546435_n.jpg




Wearing the mask again, this time with the seams covered up

430421_905592024349_18812244_39017408_2107960674_n.jpg




Aaand with the lenses pinned on. I'm surprised I didn't pin them to my skin.

417519_905592064269_18812244_39017409_200242010_n.jpg





The finished lenses

419314_906824973509_18812244_39022843_122682437_n.jpg




The lenses glued on. They don't sit perfectly on the mask, but if you have any experience with Spidey masks you'll know that without a face shield it's hard to make them look perfect.

419287_906825008439_18812244_39022844_293831657_n.jpg




Then wearing the mask-

Again in at a different angle-

Thanks for looking! :D

Wow, the enginuity and the detail is outstanding.. You should do a tutorial on how to do the honeycombing.
 
Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask (Pic Heavy)

Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask (Pic Heavy)

how are you getting that honeycomb effect?! it looks amazing, i cant wait to see this done
 
Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask (Pic Heavy)

MCL34N, you're one crafty dude. Your mask is looking really cool. I especially like your approach on the eyes and eye frames. Is that foam lens frames in the above picture?
 
Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask (Pic Heavy)

Wow, the progress is amazing. Im everytime excited to see people start out of nothing and realize such great items. Hope to see some pictures of the sewn Mask in the near future. The honeycomb effect is really awesome and comes out very well.

Regards Lars
 
Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask (Pic Heavy)

Thanks for the kind words guys! And Grave I'm not sure why you can't see the pics, I linked them off of Facebook so that might have something to do with it. I'm making the final lens frame molds and sewing everything up tonight, should have some updated pics by morning. And to answer your question Spidey74, I made the initial lens frame molds with foam frames, but the final ones will be plastic :D
 
Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask (Pic Heavy)

Ok people we just found the MacGyver in prop making, amazing work...big fan here....
 
Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask (Pic Heavy)

Thanks guys! I added some more progress pics to the first post if you care to look.
 
Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask (Pic Heavy)

really great stuff. Do you have an updated pic with the final webbing placed and the plastic frames attached?
