Hey again,
so after some time of thinking I would try first to go the BA route for the millskin undersuit and trunks because as everyone said these products are looking very well and I realy like the look of them.
To the belt anyone would be know which private person Mr. Munson is talking about that made that very accurate looking Superman Returns belt? Any info on that would be very helpfull please.
@ Joe if you realy try to get that boot and try to replicate them than I absolutly would be interrested in a pair of course.
So the hunt for accurate pieces would be still on.

Great Suit Man =) !!!!!
Sorry for joining this party so late, but I'm thinking of doing a SR costume for Halloween this year.
I think I'm good for the suit, emblem, belt, and trunks (leaning towards Bronze Armory), but I'm struggling with the cape and boots.
Any recommendations other than Ricky?

Hey Matt, just out of curiosity:
Are you using the spidey suit pattern as your final suit pattern? Or are you in turn using it as a base pattern (for an established bodysuit) to further modify.
When I made my Returns suit the pattern was quite tricky, especially with the lines that went around the arms, waist, and legs exterior. I had determined those to be the seams, just sealed like modern wetsuits...
If this is poppycock, I apologize. I've only had the motivation to read bits and pieces of your buildup blog
*edit* But for the record, your detailed descriptions and dedication to sharing is applaud-able.

Based on the research I have done, and even some VERY recent photos that have come to light for me, I will tell you where I think the seams go.
Each leg is a separate part. There is one seem on the inner thigh. I am confident of this. I BELIEVE the legs sew together at the crotch, so there's a seam running down the butt crack and up the front. There's a panel on the front for "access". The upper body is a separate piece. There's a seam around the waist. this I am certain of. The torso is ONE piece, with a single seam at the back for the zipper. This I am certain of. The sleeves are raglan style, with the seams running roughly 45 degrees from the armpit, and meeting at the collar. There is also a seam on the shoulder, that brings the sleeves together.
The briefs are similarly complex. One primary seam that runs down the butt crack, and an inch or two up the front. And a horizontal seam right at the bottom of the crotch. No side seams. Of this I am certain.
Here's a post that shows a bunch of eye opening pics I acquired recently:
http://mattmunson1.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-superman-returns-costume-details.html
I should probably put together an illustration for my blog that maps out what I have discovered so far, if only so I can remember it myself.
As for the NEW pattern I am developing, there's actually a couple things going on there. One of the things i am considering is offering diamond pattern printing for fellow costumers. So lets say you are making a Deadpool costume, but you don't want to go with boring old flat lycra. I could offer fabric with the diamonds printed on it, just to add some variety. I'm not sure how much interest there would be in it, but it could be cool.
In order to make this happen, I need to figure out how big I need my screen to be. That's really why I'm looking at the spidey pattern. Because it has a widest point that I will need to account for. Still not sure if I"m going to pursue this, but it would be interesting.
I have already finished my pattern for the SR body suit, though even now it needs some tweaking. it is NOT the Spider-Man style pattern. I only messed around with that one for the legs.

i found some website from a guy who did visual effects on superman returns and he had these great photos, of brandon routh in the suit but without the cape and they were taking 360 degree scan of him for the cgi double, i cant find the link but i saved them on my computer and dont know if im allowed to post them since im not the owner but if you pm me your email address i would happily pass them on.
@matt they give great reference to the racing stripes on the back of the suit

How were you able to attach the BA Returns Emblem? I have one and it seems to stiff and would pull on the spandex too much. Any insight would be great!

Just wanna say great job guys!
And Matt, I was reading your blog...I know how crazy complicated screening can be when it comes to costuming. I completed my Star Trek 09 Uhura last year and the screening process was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I know tha pain. lol.

I used 3M mounting tape, it's gray with a red peel off film, don't use the cheap white mounting tape
I tried it and in time it comes off, I have it mounted on my mannequin it's now a few months and never came off, apply strips on the red edge only not yellow, you need to mount in place the Emblem while your wearing it or displayed on mannequin so the bodysuit is prestretched.

u attach the emblem using Zap-A-Gap glue. It is a flexible superglue u can use on fabric. U have to be very careful, but wow it works amazingly!
