Re: (WIP) "This is so NOT spandex!" SPIDERTEEN911's Definitive Spider-Man Suit!
The shoes came in and they are the perfect size:
I'll be cutting off that heel sometime this weekend and then separating the bottom sole from the top.
The bottom sole will be glue on the outside of the suit; the suit material being sandwiched between that and the top shoe insert which will be inside the actual suit.
I'm going to trim that tongue down a bit too, since it will show a bit through the suit, which I do not want to happen.
Here's a picture of the sole's grip, which is very comic book-like, very happy with it:
For the ID (when I'm "maskless") I picked up an id holder and a lanyard, since I'm not sure what I'll do yet.
I might just order to SUPER THIN rare earth magnets and then glue them, one to the back of the card holder, and one to an elastic seamless chest strap.
That would look cool too.
If I get lazy, the lanyard will do; but let's hope I can keep the motivation level higher than that haha
Final update for today is that my wristbands came in this morning:
(FYI, that's the extra one on the floor, not an excess of the strap)
Other side:
I will be E-6000 gluing a rare earth magnet to each wrist once I get my web shooters in; no real point to doing that now.
This will ensure a seamless, movie-like, effect, making the web shooters seem as though they are connected to the suit (instead of
through the suit.
I'll try and update again next Monday if I get more materials in. If not? Probably Wednesday or Thursday.
Wish me luck, everything is coming together relatively well so far.

Side Note:
If the straps end up looking a bit too bulky, I'll be making some generic elastic wrist bands or something more form fitting.
