Scarlet Spider costume

[Anzh]

So I'm making a latex mold out of one of these to later cast the hexagon pattern for the suit. This is my first time trying something like this. I'm thinking of making the pattern out of liquid latex. Has anyone else tried this? If so, any tips before I continue? Thanks!

Decided to make a plaster mold first to then cast the pattern out of lattex

My first attempt at making a face shell...just using it now to see what shape I want my lenses to have.

I had found my hoodie on Ebay. It came from china and was super cheap. with shipping I think it was like 23 bucks

I dig those eyes, shape and size. I've been inspired to make some alterations to my scarlet spider suit. What are you planning to make the lenses out of?

I found some in Old Navy in the kids section(which is good because they can be a bit more form fitting) They tell me they're getting a new shipment soon and I got a gift card from there luckily. But if this doesn't work then I'll definitely be hitting up Ebay.

Really? thanks! haha like you said, it's always a work in progress. I have been making a lot of different designs, but I'm happy with those. I'm thinking of casting them in resin although Sculpey Firm has proven to be very reliable and gets a really nice glossy finish when sanded right. I'll probably make 2 pairs; one out of sculpey and cast some resin ones out of those just in case they break later. I'm just waiting on getting my face shell done so I can form the lenses to the shape of it.

I agree, that design is awesomely awesome. I'm probably gonna go that route of sculpey and a separate casting too when I eventually start on my own suit.

Anyway seeing that design come to life (if you use it) will be cool!

Thank you! Yeah I definitely recommend it, it's very easy to work with after you've hammered it a couple times haha.

Well with all this good feedback I think I might as well use it. But I'll still cast different designs...I'm already planning on making other suits.

not coming out as I expected...the hexagon are a bit deformed because the plaster cracked, but I think this will contribute well to the "Scarlet Spider" look.

Face shell time?

first attempt at casting the pattern...can't believe it turned out so bad.

You could always try 3D paint if the latex doesn't work out.

is that the Tulip paint?

 

[The Full Armor]

I believe so. I've seen a lot of guys use it for other spider man buids. However, I do realize that the design you're going for is more complex than the normal spidey design.

Yes, what I've seen is people tracing details with this paint. My suit doesn't have any printed details so I won't have a guide for the pattern :unsure

Does anyone have any experience with Dragon Skin or ecoflex 00-30?

 

[Anzh]

still gotta make some adjustments, but here's the face shell!

Failed attempt at casting the faceshell :/
