Great job on the suit. It looks great!

niiiiiiiice. this is just cool, and the spider how it's so sleek i love it.

Thanks guys! All in all I've learned a lot for the next costume : Classic Spidey recreation. (also contemplating a light up Spidey stealth suit)
I'm glad this turned out well and appreciate all your comments! Hopefully going to Wondercon in Anaheim this April and entering in the masquerade.
And once I figure out real web shooters, I can go foil a bank robbery!
 
Can you post some more pics. The others are a bit blury I want to see some more details on your cool looking suit Man O!
 
I re-did the eyes last night. Pulled the stitches, super glued them and pinned them in place, puff painted the edges to the fabric, then this morning I hand stitched them again using white thread. I think it looks better.. IMAG0641.jpg IMAG0644.jpg

And here's some pics showing what I did with the webs on the mask

The back isn't perfect, but I dig it.
more pics in full costume coming soon... Just waiting on someone to photograph me
 
Update!
Decided to make some webshooters to go along with the suit. Since I cant actually shoot webs, I figured id do the next best thing: flashy bright lights.

I used the electron gun from the cathode ray tube of an old tv i saw laying outside and some other stuff from around the house: couple washers, a red LED, a drywall anchor, some wire, a brass fitting, glue and a 9v

It's held in place beneath the glove by a magnet and the battery and activated with a homemade button that sits in the palm beneath the glove.

Now to make another!
Even if I don't use em for this suit, they'll be perfect for when I build my fully lit up Spider-man stealth suit.
 
Haha! Now my costume is budgeted other than the mask. The mask Is a $720 mask but the gloves I made and the rest of the costume I am making right now! It's gonna be sick! And your doin a great job on the spidey from what I see man!
 
This suit looks fantastic! You might consider a face shell to smooth your nose and hide the lips.

Thanks! I thought about it and when I have some money, I may get one/ make one. Looking at the pics again, I think it could make all the difference. For the most part, unless I'm smiling or talking, the lips tend to go unnoticed... However, it's hard not to smile walking around town as Spider-man haha.
