MCU Spider-Man Build (SPOILERS)

Saw this shirt at the store recently and it reminded me of this. Spandex stretched over textured padding. Definitely is attached with some sort of adhesive.

I think the attitude we look at this suit with shouldn't be "if it's hard, it was CG" but to instead think outside the box

With a firm faceshell and deep indents, yes it could work. The issue is most shells would be too thin.

Spandex doesn't hug every nook and cranny of whatever its stretched over. It smoothes it all out. That's why spandex cosplays have muscle shading, you can't actually see the muscles through it. This face shell trick won't work unless you adhere the fabric into the indentations.

Simple spray adhesive should work fine

As for the lenses, another cheat may be to make a border made from a opaque black material and the inner of the lans made from a white-to-black lenticular. When angling your head down in an intimidating way the inner border would change from white to black.

You would still have mesh in the center for clear vision.
 
I doubt any of the suit is permanently or purely CG, Marvel has an absurd budget and can make essentially anything they want a reality

CG is cheap and efficient, Marvel uses it to 'fill in the blanks' all the time...

Remember that they built 17 helmets for Ant-Man and didn't even bother to make even a single one actually open/close mechanically (something that is relatively cheap and simple to pull off using servos, especially for a prop department with Marvel's enormous budgets), because ultimately it was just cheaper and easier to pull off the effect using CGI... Considering that, I'd say it's pretty likely that whenever Spidey's eyes open/shut in the film, the effect will probably be something they added in post.

Of course, that does not mean that we here on the RPF can't figure out a practical solution (as drumguy560 already has with his mechanical Ant-Man bucket). ;)

With the exception of the eyes, I think it's safe to say that most details of the suit will appear on a real, tangible version, including the indentation/flat red

I agree, the spray adhesive idea you suggested earlier is the easiest and cheapest way to get the effect, and may even be what they used on the practical suits.

Yep. Pretty much what I was saying as well.

You're right I forgot! Because the suit is skin tight(Along with the mask) it would be impossible for there to be indents. How they managed this in the movie is thanks to the CG guys
I'm pretty sure the indents won't be CGI on the practical suit since there is a very feasible way to do it: add padding beneath the suit (light padding though). Same way they made the indents on Cap's suit.
 
In my opinion that's not very good. His lens is not like an aperture and it makes to much sound.
It's a good alternative to the an aperture considering it's turning out to be such a difficult mechanism.
And anything electronic is probably going to make a sound like that.
 
I actually like it quite a bit
If it was slowed down, I think the sound would be fine, since there is a sound in the trailer, albeit slightly quieter

Is anyone here in contact with this guy? He's not replying to me and I think there is a chance he might be selling recasts of the asm2 kit he bought from me in October.

I wish I could help, but I agree. The similarities seem too many to be a coincidence
 
Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread but I thought maybe the person who posted the link might have an idea. I've been gathering more info and he definitely purchased some from me last year so I'm sure I'll get confirmation soon.
