Starting from Scratch, TASM 2 costume

[willvessey]

Hello

Im going to attempt to make the amazing spider man 2 suit, now i say im starting from scratch, really im probably going to buy a print out, most likely this one bdstudios
unless anyone can offer a better suggestion, then ill paint it and put the shoes in and do all the rest but obviously i need all the help i can get, so that's where you come in

give me anything you got, advice, links whatever and ill look into it!

Dude awesome. Print! Subscribed! I would recommend using puff paint for the brick pattern and liquid latex with primer in a puff paint bottle I haven't used it yet but it's more durable than puff paint. Good luck!!

well ideally i'd like to purchase them from Tjack but i might try make the lenses using mesh, phone protector screens and plastic, but ill let you know how it goes haha!

in terms of the file im thinking ill go with this
Amazing spider-man 2 extra mask

any thoughts?

I've seen ohadars prints and I don't mean to bag on him or anything they are great but I think they are a little too light people have gotten them and they are orange instead of red so I would probably stick with crazy dog 500s

But I do have one question whenever I go on the website you put a link to I can't access the amazing spiderman page it just won't load or anything is there anything I can do?

It says you're using an iphone and i too had that problem when using the phone, probably better off on PC or computer! The only problem with Crazydog500s is that they dont have the shading of the abbs etc which is pretty cool!

If you want a good in-between, try kenlandrum's file.

 

[WebHead101]

Yeah I'll send him a pm when I can to see if he could add muscle shading to the print

stupid newbie question here, When you buy one of these patterns that you guys have linked too, Is it printed on a material? Do you just cut it out, sew it together and ta-da!!!! you have a spider-man suit? (minus the mask I guess.)

 

[WebHead101]

Yep if it is bought from crazy dog 500 but if you buy from ohadar you will have to get it printed from Fabrics On Demand then puff paint and get it sewn but hey everybody has to start somewhere so not really a newbie question don't sweat it.
