That looks great! Are the webs puff paint?This was one I had a few years ago before spiderman 3 movie came out. It's not bad. I made a few improvements to it before I sold it. Hoping to get a much better one some day.

Yes. Puff paint. Before I knew better. It was a decent print but it was only dappled across the suit instead of a full pattern. Annoying. I thought it was cool at the time.
What do you mean? I think the puff paint actually looks just as good as the latex webs and probably is MUCH more durable as well! Sure, It's not as accurate as the latex webbing, but it still gets the same point across, looks great, and is very durable compared to latex!

Oooh, VERY exciting! Those colors look wonderful!
thumbsup:thumbsupI think it looks pretty darn awesome, puff paint and all! I'm curious, who made the pattern and the suit? The construction and print look very similar to my suit (color notwithstanding) especially in that the 'brick' pattern is only present on the lighter "highlights" in the area of the suit that has no webbing. The same is true for the blue portions of my suit. I acquired it second-hand and the previous owner did not know the original maker.
@pandatrooper- looking good pal! I like how It's got a similar hexagon pattern on it like Garfield's suit!:cool
@Lunaman- Something about the red on your suit just looks OUTSTANDING to me!!!!!!thumbsup

Thank you! Just got lucky on the natural lighting and camera exposure, I suppose; my friend took the picture. It's always hard to capture the way color looks in person on camera, what with them getting washed out by flash or overexposed or whatever, but that photo is pretty close. Here's an indoor shot with incandescent lighting where it looks much more dull.
Anything indoors is going to look more dull... figured that out with painting the hard way..... always paint in a very bright room!Thank you!

Thanks for the compliments. Ill try to post some pics of my mods if I can find them. I thought the puff paint was brilliant but I knew I wanted real raised webs once I saw them. The original suit maker was somewhere in Europe I think. Not sure exactly. Can't recall the name of the company as it escapes me. They had several costumes including a Jedi Luke that wasn't terrible but was no where near accurate. I think he said they had a sister company in Florida but that's about all I can remember. I had it bookmarked on my old Desktop but sadly it crashed and burned several years ago.
My Comic style (will be made into Carlo Barberi style when I add the lenses) Spider Man suit print came in the mail today!!!! One thing i was worried about was it losing its color onced stretched. I stretched it super far out, nothing happened!
Looks really good! Definitely a good investment!
Now I either have to try to sew it myself or take it to a nearby seamstress.....

Some awesome looking suits here guys. I'm just starting my own build, which I'm going to blend the Raimi suit/s with classic style.
The base blue and red are kind of Superior in shade, the blue is dark, however the red is quite bright, which I'm considering Muscle shading.
A question I'd like some input from you guys if you don't mind - Webbing - I'm thinking Puff Paint, simply because silk-screening would take ages, but then again, do I want raised webbing? I'm not really a fan of just a black line, I'd like some texture there. Anyone care to weigh in with pros/cons for each to help me decide?
All in all, to me it really does seem that the lenses (shape and colour) and chest Spider really do make the suit! I think my favourite chest spider is the Raimi suit, it just looks so smart! Lenses are something I need to research and experiment with me thinks.
Or I might just start an Iron Spider suit if I can find the right Red Material (texture)

If you want it to look more like the movies use puff paint, if you want it to look more comic book, make it 2d.
Okay guys, so here soon I'm debating taking my print to a proffesional seamstress. If i tell them how everything is supposed be lined up, should they be able to do it? I mean, they sew for their livelihood but I still want to make sure.
In you guys opinion, what kind of tips should i give them to make sure they go about making it right (like lining the webs up and all that)?

I would contact TrophyWife on here. Shes been doing some awesome work with various spidey suits lately.
also, i got this in today and thought id share here with my fellow spiders. my spider tracer print finally arrived from shapeways! cleanup tomorrow then molding and casting the next few days. i cant wait to stick these all over villains at dragoncon!!
I would, but she's VERY expensive. she does nice work, don't get me wrong, but it just seems very expensive for my budget right now.... My seamstress would probably sew my suit for under 100 dollars. My dad has known her for years.

The traditional seven-piece is what I have. It lasted many years, and although the colour faded somewhat, I swear it is a good costume. I will find some pic and post it

I made all 3 costume.
The first one the Ditko suit is my Favourites and the first one I made.
Romita Jr suit I kind of made the eyes too far apart.
The Black suit is just a black body suit that I just put spider and eyes on.
