TASM 2 Suit!

So, I've been lurking throughout the forum for a long time. I've always wanted a Spidey suit, but never had the money, so I started saving up from my job and whatever money I got from birthdays and holidays.

I saved up about 900dollars and thought I would start. The first thing I bought was the print. I was originally planning on buying a file through GunHeadDesigns(Orhader) but I don't really know how to use fabricondemand, so instead I just bought a print from CrazyDog500. I bought that about a month ago along with TJacks ASM 2 lenses and a faceshell made by a guy who goes by Shades.

The print arrived just today and so did the faceshell.

I'll say that I was very happy with the print. print.jpg

The Faceshell on the other hand, was rather disappointing. The pictures on his thread looked a lot better than the actual quality of it. uploadfromtaptalk1387461426245.jpg1533801_247571462071460_920150851_n.jpg

I'm not trying to bash Shades, but that was definitely not worth 60 bucks :/

The lenses looked fantastic, as everyone knows that TJack does a very nice job with those.
For the shoes I bought a pair of Red KungFu shoes 1560650_243769659118307_1462291515_n.jpg

I started to work on the faceshell and lenses, attatching magnets to them with epoxy. Well, I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm not a handy man so this when downhill pretty fast. I have no idea if the lenses were even or not because before I could check, I broke them... Yeah that's right. I tore the mesh up and chipped off a corner of it.. just by attatching the magnets together. i don't know what I did to deserve this. Ugh 100 bucks down the drain(60 for faceshell,35 for lenses)

I plan on sending my suit to trophywife very soon to have it sewed. In the meantime, I'm just hoping TJack releases his ASM 2 Faceshell/Lenses combo for a decent price, because I do NOT! want to wait anylonger for this.

Will update when I progress!
 
What size / strength magnets did you use? Jeez.

Also, have you contacted Shades about the faceshell? From the pics, I would not have been happy either.

TJack's faceshell I have is excellent, and I can't wait for his TASM2 combo!
 
They weren't large.. Half inch maybe.
I don't really know the strength. The back of th package just said 10/10 strength. They were tough magnets xD
I'm really looking forward to his combo. I'm just terrified of the price xD

Lunaman posted a thread in the junkyard offering up his MCL34N lenses and face shell.
That's the best thing out there barring TJack's new set coming out in the next coming weeks.

Hey, guys.. i need help. I'm really trying to decide with a faceshell, seeing as mine is just absolute sheeaaaat. Anyways, crazy dog is selling one for 70 bucks..gdfgdfgfd.jpg Looks really nice. i'd also have to buy new lenses which would add up to 110 bucks roughly.. Any other ideas or people looking to sell a no longer used faceshell/lense combo?

Edit* I'm not trying to buy from here... i know the rules... just wondering if anyone knows of someone with an afforadable faceshell/lense combo.
 
I actually just bought that from him.
He had an old faceshell that had a crack so he sold that and a new pair of lenses for 55$
TJack has just been so helpful with this project. I would definitely recommend him
 
Glad the face shell problem worked out in the end.
Is the shade face shell even the right shape?

No it's not xD but I wasn't very concerned about that at first.. I just wanted a faceshell. It's just a universal faceshell. I regret buying it and I really don't know how to message him.. There's not much he will do for me...
 
Hey guys! Got a day off of school, so I thought I would update. I'm shipping the print to trophywife today, the faceshell shipped yesterday, and I'm absolutely clueless on how to attach magnets...

Congrats on your progress. I found this thread about how to put the lenses on to a faceshell/mask. It's not a tutorial per say, but a discussion on how they did it for their masks. Hopefully it helps.

TrophyWife did a wonderful job on my suit, are you getting a U-Zip?
 
So, turns out my mom ended up not sending out the print. It's just sitting in the back of her car... Silly woman. It WILL be shipped tomorrow however. I'm still awaiting TJack's lenses and face-shell. Shouldn't be long before I get it.
And on another note, Anthony Grey added me on Facebook. For anyone who doesn't know who he is, he's a wonderful cosplayer.
