Hey guys,

I've been meaning to get these pics up for Rich for quite some time. We shot them weeks ago, but we're in a new house and I had to find where I packed the digicam's cord to take them off. Rich spent a long time (and a lot of money) cleaning up these patterns and doing test prints to get to this level of quality! The saturation of the reds and blues is ridiculous, and the hues seem dead on to the film suits.

I had the original thermal transfer sheets from the production of the film - this is a very complex pattern, not at all a simple "tube" of a bodysuit. The panels stitched together as they are make for a very form fitting suit. This one was sewn up by a professional tailor. Don't let that scare you off; your yellow pages probably list dozens in your area. Very impressive pattern and design though, and extremely well executed by Rich and his fabric printer. I know it wasn't an easy task to nail these colors!

Without further ado, here are the pics! Sewn up suit:

I have to thank and applaud Rich again for all of his hard work. If you were on the fence about this project, jump on. Seriously. You won't get this one done more accurately or at a better price!

Dude!
Make the mask... then make it again...

& sell me the "again" one!
:lol

Looks KICK ASS! Can't wait to see it complete!

*ss*
 
Nice! I still need to get my fettster print sewn up...

Your webbing looks great! I've been looking around but haven't been able to find a decent source... any info you can share would be very helpful... ;)

Anyone heard from fettster lately regarding his mask shells/lenses?
 
Thanks guys; all the compliments belong to Acheson and Fettster though! The webbing I have was cast by Nayef/Superman5 - you can contact him through other forums but I don't know that he's selling... Ollo makes even better webs, if you can believe it, but they're for a movie-sized print and I had to scale mine up because I'm 6'1".

I haven't heard from Rich in a few weeks at least, but at that point he told me he was in the process of casting up eye frames. I'm sure he'll chime in here at some point!

If you'd like to do this costume for Halloween, you should start now. Fettster can hook you up with the prints; it will take time to sew it up; it will take time to glue down the webs. I've found a flexible cyanoacrylate that I'm going to try out. I'll keep you all posted on my materials and process and how it works out. This suit can be the guinea pig for all of yours... It kind of sucks how much interest there was in these up front, and Rich put so much work into getting the prints right based on that, and then there were so few actual orders when it came time to step up. I'm really hoping that seeing the results will inspire a few more people to order prints and make all that time and money worthwhile for him.

Thanks again!

wow doug.

you really look the part, it really pleases me that you are happy with your suit and you need to give yourself some credit as you put alot a faith in me and it could all have gone horribly wrong!

lenses and shells are availabe Kidl. sorry i havent posted in a while, been bogged down with life stuff.

not hurry up and get gluing on those webs.
 
Nice suit!
I actually think you should dress up as Cyclops from the X-Men movie. That is who you look a lot like to me. :rolleyes Or I suppose you could dress up as Lois Lane's Husband from the new Sups movie since that was the same guy.
Not that it matters with the spidey mask on.:love
 
haha I think going as Lois Lane's husband would elicit a lot of "who are you supposed to be?" comments...
