TASM 2 Suit.

*PICTURES ON 2ND PAGE OF SUIT*
Hey everyone! Well I have a TASM 2 on its way to me. I am going to attempt to make the lines thicker as they are already covered with slick puffy paint. I thought since it was my first time ever working with puffy paint, I should practice. What do yall think?

Hey everyone! I am wondering something for once I get my suit!

1: What do you use for soles?

2: What do you use inside of the suit to make it look like Spideys feet?

 

[Casey2124]

Hey everyone! So as my suit is getting closer to being shipped out I need to start thinking about faceshells.

It is a TASM 2 suit and I really don't want to dish out a ton of money for a faceshell so I am wondering what yall think the best option for a faceshell would be?

1. Build a foam one. (If so what file do you think is the best?)

2. Buy a Spider-Man mask from the store and dremel down the rubber line.

Or if you have another idea I would love to hear it!

Hey everyone! So I am about to build my faceshell out of foam. What size thickness should I do 5mm or foamies?

The thicker your foam is, the better. The 5mm seems okay, but if I were you, I'd choose something a bit thicker than 5mm. 10mm sounds sturdier.

Ok sounds good. I'll give it a try tonight! Thank you.

For a face shell 5mm should be fine. Thickness is great but I think 10mm is too thick. I have some 5mm here and I think it would work well and not be flimsy

Sounds good. I am currently cutting the foam now. I'll post pics when I am done! Thank you!

 

[Casey2124]

I did it fast. Once the suit is around it, it should compress the side poking out. Thoughts?

Looks great!

Thank you! I am going to smooth down all the corners on and try to find something to layer over it to give it more of a smooth finish.

 

[Casey2124]

Tried to get rid of all the corners... any ideas?

 

[maffhewdc]

Do the corners show on the mask? If they don't stick out too much, then you don't really need to smooth them out

 

[Casey2124]

A little bit. I threw it in a morph suit and you could see them through the morph suit.

You could try slicing the corners a bit with an xacto knife. And by slicing, I mean you're kinda peeling off the sharp corners

Good idea! Didn't think of that one, I'll try that. Thank you.

 

[maffhewdc]

Glad to help.

Since its foam, could try heating it a bit and rounding them that way.

 

[Casey2124]

Well, it came in. The foam headshell isn't going to work as it barley fits and smushes in the inside. I am a little ticked off as the webbing isn't even completely painted. Haha! But what should I do about the faceshell?

You could try to make your own diy face shell with plaster bandages. It's like the thing that they use for arm and leg casts. You could make the basic shape of the face shell with cardboard or something hard, then cover it with plastic and then apply the plaster bandages onto there. Three or four layers should be enough
