Tjack's smaller ASM2 frames are very similar to McLean's frames; I've spoken to him personally about them. There are subtle differences in weight of the line and angles and size, but both craftsmen do a great job with the black outer frames-- the more straightforward part of the eye set-up.

If you want extremely dome-shaped inner lenses like McLean's eyes, however, you'll have to make them yourself or buy them from McLean. They're expensive for a reason, getting the domed shape requires a lot of hard work and time.

TJack provides great quality frames and easy-to-use lens materials at a low price, but that doesn't include custom curvature and plexiglass backing and magnetic attachments, otherwise the eyes would cost hundreds of dollars. TJack gives you the tools you need to make good eyes for your suit and ships them to you flat and fast. Asking him to replicate the work and business model of a different craftsmen is tacky, and it's rude to both of them.

Since everybody's always messaging me about the difference between the larger and smaller ASM2 frames, you can see them both below:

Here are the SMALLER ASM2 frames (the second version meant to be closer to the movie appearance) in-progress from my current suit build.

Here are the LARGER ASM2 frames (the first version, more comic-book-like in appearance) from my previous build:

Lunaman, the dome like appearance that the movie lenses have, that can be achieved with plexiglass?
I've been wondering how exactly to achieve that look.
Any tips into on the steps needed to get that look?
I have the first version on TASM2 lenses would I be able to pull off the dome-lenses look that looks right.
On another note, I'm planning on ordering version 2 in case i can't with version 1

Plexiglass or another clear thermoplastic, yes. You would need to sculpt the appropriate curve of the dome yourself, and then heat and bend the plastic over your sculpt to match the curve and then cut the profile to shape. You would also need a way to keep the white hex mesh attached, as the self adhesive on the white vinyl overlay can't accommodate extreme curves without buckling or detaching. MCL34N managed this by sculpting and casting the white mesh as a separate pre-curved piece, and sandwiching it between two layers of plexi to hold it down tight. Even still, it's very difficult to get the mesh to follow the curve evenly.

The standard lens material can easily accomodate the normal curves of a face or faceshell, it's just the type of protruding curve on the domed movie lens that makes things difficult.
Here is the normal lens material with the V2 (smaller) Amazing Spider-Man 2 frames, backed with a fine wire mesh:

The appearance of the movie lens is that of the domed lens protruding outward past the frames, which requires all of the extra and difficult work explained above.

frames have been available for a while - the member who was supposed to be making the smoked acrylic lenses for me has gone AWOL with the frames I sent him for reference and won't return any of my pm's

I'm on the lookout for someone else to work on them for me
 
Re: Spiderman Lenses - Amazing, Raimi, Comic, Custom *New lens option*

I recently bought a Spiderman Morphsuit made by a company called Rubies and I was wondering what kind of lenses I would need for the mask.
This is the best reference picture I could find on the web:

Howdy Mr. TJack,
I am a big fan of the wall-crawler and was wondering if you could help me out with a pair of custom lenses. I might need alot of guidance as I am new to the RPF. Any help though is appreciated!

Much obliged!
 
Re: Spiderman Lenses - Amazing, Raimi, Comic, Custom *New lens option*

Hard to say for sure what frames will be best to cover them with. I'd suggest waiting until you have the suit in hand and then take some measurements to compare to the info I posted on the first page
 
Re: Spiderman Lenses - Amazing, Raimi, Comic, Custom *New lens option*

I will measure the lense size as soon as possible. I already tried on my suit a few times and
I personally think I would need one pair of one of the two sizes of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 lenses.

Re: Spiderman Lenses - Amazing, Raimi, Comic, Custom *New lens option*

Hey all, I had a fall last night that landed me in the hospital so I apologize if I'm slow to respond to messages the next few days. Pretty much on bed rest for the next little while and can honestly say the rpf isn't my biggest priority at the moment. Ill do my best but most likely won't be putting together any orders until sometime mid week.

Whoa, man, sorry to hear that. Here's to a speedy recovery, hope you're doing alright.

My lenses and face shell came through the other day.
Super pleased with them! I've got it sorted with all the magnets and everything. Now just waiting on my suit to arrive.
