Superior Spider-man Costume.

[Kaisaga]

So I'm getting a Superior Spider-man costume printed off from the good people at Frontier Costuming, my main problem is the costumes eyes, I have no idea how to make them. Someone suggested Vacuum forming but I'm unsure how to make them so I can see through them and no one seeing in... Any tips or suggestions on what would be best to do? Thanks ^_^

Any reference photos?

There's actually another post on the forum with a bunch of reference pictures but no real mention about the eyes.

I'm not really good at this whole costuming business but I think finding the right lenses will be important. Something that is somewhat thick and has a curve to it.
This guy used some lenses:

Getting them to look right will depend on your skill level I guess.

I'd try some goggles:

Or these:

Then use some urethane to wrap them for the outer part? :confused If it has the strap like this you won't have to worry about the lenses attaching to a faceshell. Not sure if they would remain seated properly to the mask though.

Wow thank you that link and the urethane idea really help. Im going to give them an attempt but I'm still open for more help ^_^.
