how do you get the dimensions of your face to resize the shell??preferably in inches and how would you resize it without change the size of the frame holes???or to change the shell you have to change all parts frames lenses etc...

I like it, almost there.
Here's my edit to the pattern side by side with the movie suit, once printed it'll print darker and I feel that'll be close to screen accurate color minus the shine and effect the movie suit hasView attachment 315510

New to this whole scene and looking for a bit of guidance here guys. I've read through the whole thread and have a basic idea of where to go for the most part (with the exception of the lenses). The issue I'm having is just general lack of knowledge in regards to putting the whole thing together. I'd love some guidance, advice, tips, etc. on the "after everything is printed" portion of making this suit. If I'm in the wrong thread I apologize, but this is the best (and most accurate) suit pattern I've yet to find.
I can tell you how I will approach the lenses and maybe some others here can chime in with other tips...
Once you have downloaded and resized the face shell, frames and lenses... I would print the lenses in whatever material you can get. Smooth the printed parts, automobile spot putty works great for this. Once you have the lenses as smooth as you can get them, cast them in silicone. You can go the expensive route and purchase special molding materials from Smooth-on (which last for several copies) or you can try and make a couple of simple plaster molds. One sided should be fine.

Then get yourself some clear casting resin.

Pour your lenses using gravity to get them even and as thin as possible. I would a millimeter thick is fine.
Once cured you need to wet sand and polish...all the while making sure the fit well in the frames.
Find a product like this:

...and back your new lenses with it. Glue them into your frames and---
That's it!
Once again, there are many ways to do these things... this is just how I might go about it.
I'd mould the frames and actual lense part separately. I tried using clear cast resin once before and from experience is almost impossible to get it optically clear (probably due to inconsistent mm thickness). I'd recommend vaccum forming clear plastic sheeting over the smoothed printed lens part and assembing after.

Yes the lens and frames separate, for sure... that's what I was saying.... and yes vacuum forming would be pretty darn clear, but the process is more complex. I am assuming (possibly incorrectly) that hugousmc89 is not going to go through that trouble. I have sanded and polished clear resin and it came out pretty clear. Certainly clear enough to see through.
I guess another suggestion would be to purchase the shell, frames and lenses as a set from the junkyard here once someone starts making them available.![]()
you have right!! yesterday I saw the movie, and the color is like your! very good! could you give me the color code use in photoshop?
thanks
