Hello everyone! I wanted to make a mask for when I saw the Amazing Spider-Man 2, but I was broke and had a little more than a week, so I made this sloppy little mask.
Just wanted to post a sort of tutorial for those of you who might want to make a quick, cheep mask.
What I used:
A mesh John Cena mask- you can probably get this at any walmart, k-mart, target, etc.
A red morph suit mask
White spray paint
Black paint
Some foam sheets
Card stock paper
A pepakura file you could find here: http://www.therpf.com/f78/spiderman-face-shell-pepakura-file-foam-version-jfcustom-pdf-added-211099/
Red paint
Transparency film
Slick black puff-paint
Small earth magnets
Hot glue
First I put together the pepakura, which took a few hours, and its not in this photo I cut out two more pieces and glued it to the inside of the eye holes so I could have a base for the magnets. I do plan on bondo-ing it later, but I did not have time for that.
Then I cut out an eye shape that would fit this mask

Traced that shape onto foam and cut that out
Painted the John Cena mask white and the foam black, then I cut out the inside of the eye on the foam, and the shape from the Cena mask and transparency film. The three layers where then hot glued together.
The magnets where then glued onto the eye pieces at the two tips and bottom curve, and then in the appropriate corresponding areas on the mask. I don't have photos for the magnets, but I then I just tested how the magnets worked with the paper and cloth mask.
This next part was the most difficult for me, and I would not suggest the method I used to apply the puff paint webbing, the result was very sloppy and I think I may have done better had I tried a different approach. What I did was create a model of my head using tape and stuffing (which actually works as a good head model) and then I put the face shell, mask, and lenses on it to get the positioning right. I then applied the puff paint onto the mask. I suggest that you instead mark where you want the eyes on your mask, stretch the mask out on a flat surface, and apply the webbing that way. I also ran out of puff paint on the back, and had to use sharpie.
A very sloppy job, but it was my first time applying puff paint so whatever.
As a final touch, I roughly painted the face shell red so the white wouldn't show through, and poked some breathing holes.
And voilà! A decent Spider-Man mask to wear to the movie!
