Scarlet-Spider Costume Completed (+Convention Pics)

Re: Scarlet-Spider costume WIP

Did you go with Navy, Royal Blue, or Sky Blue?
I always thought the lighter shade looked better for the sweatshirt, so I might grab a sky blue one myself, just for future projects

Sorry, must've missed your comment :wacko
I went with the Royal Blue option, I thought Navy was too dark and Sky was a bit too light :/
But to each their own tbh :lol

You may want to look into trying crossfit. Find a local box in your area. Those workouts are going to give lean muscle, and its pretty think less, you show up do the workout they tell you to do and go home haha!! GREAT SUIT BTW

How did you make the lenes

Re: Scarlet-Spider costume (Almost there!)

Great costume! I like the hoodie, looks spot on. I noticed that you were doing some hand stitching on your suit. Would you mind telling me what sort of stitch you used? And maybe a picture of the seam that you did it on? I bought a zentai suit myself, but I wanted to do some alterations to make it fit a bit better. Cheers! :thumbsup

Nice, i like the 2ndwhite set of eys you made

Re: Scarlet-Spider costume (Almost there!)

How did you make the lenes

The lenses themselves are made from craft-foam and the white fabric is glued to them, using a hot-glue gun to be specific This is all then sandwiched onto the mask with more hot-glue.

Thank you, glad you like it I've just been using simple cross and running stitches when it comes to repairing the zentai suit. These photos are of the armpit sections that ripped while trying the suit on (probably due to over-stretching it) Sorry they didn't come out too well:

Hope this helps, and best of luck with the alterations to your suit

Thanks man I'd have used them if it weren't for their size and the fact I'd need two layers of foam to cover up the stitching, making them less flexible to position.

Re: Scarlet-Spider costume (Almost there!)

Pouches = Done

Sorry for the crap image quality -.-'

Didn't realise until after I took the photos that one of the straps was glued on the wrong way, my bad.
Also the stitching didn't come out as perfectly as I wanted it to due to being done by hand rather than on a machine.

Just one more hurdle to go (soles) and then it's all completed ready for MCM Expo on the 27th-28th October.

Re: Scarlet-Spider costume (99% done)

Hey, Rodimus. I'm new here, and wanting to build my own Scarlet Spider costume. I wanted to go the way of getting a template pattern and sewing my own suit, but I see you did a really good job with a simple Morphsuit. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you spend all together in the materials, and how many hours have you put into the work?

Hi mate Thanks for the interest. Someone on here a while back made a printed Scarlet-Spider costume with the Raimi-Style block pattern:

http://www.therpf.com/f24/scarlet-spider-pic-heavy-105788/

Definitely my source of inspiration behind this project
Best place to look for a template would be here in The Junkyard, or asking around on other costuming sites.
Better quality but just a bit more costly than using a morph-suit :/

So far I've spent roughly £34 in total, excluding around £5 for the aqua-shoes as a guestimate. And I reckon I've put a good couple of months work in this.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the link and the estimate. That's about what? $45 US?

Also, I see a lot of people talking about Zentai and Morphsuit. What's the difference, if there is one?

Yeah, around $45-$50.
I don't think so, just different brand names from what I understand :/

Rodimus - Just ordered my morphsuit from Superfans.com and a blue hoodie from JiffyShirts.com. They should be here sometime this weekend. My total so far in just those two items will bring it to about $70 US.

Where did you get the template for your spider logo? Download or hand-drawn?

Ah nice one Again, best of luck with you costume!
The logo was hand drawn, though I'm sure there's a template floating around somewhere online also.

Re: Scarlet-Spider costume (99% done)

long time lurker, been keeping an eye on your progress as I'm a huge Ben Reilly fan - I actually just picked up a Scarlet Spider mask and have decided to go the whole way and build a costume - I was just wondering where you got your morphsuit from as it looks like a good colour and a good fit (and I think I saw you say it was only £15 too)

Ah, I've been a long-time lurker myself Nice! I'll keep an eye out for your thread on here ;D
I got the morph-suit in a fancy-dress shop in Sheffield's shopping centre, Meadowhall (can't remember the name of the shop itself :/ ) But, yeah, £15's the cheapest I've seen, most are normally around £20+

Re: Scarlet-Spider costume (99% done)

Update:

Nothing new as far as the costume is concerned (still waiting on finding a pair of Aqua-shoes) but I got some photos taken today of the suit all-together, pouches, belt et al.

Front:

Back:

I've added a little pouch on the belt for things like batteries and other little bits and pieces to carry around with me at the event.


And a final pose-shot:

So yeah, just waiting on the aqua-shoes and then that's it until the 27th of this month. I'll be sure to post some photos after the convention
