Re: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Costume Build - Frontier Costuming Print W.I.P

Awesome work! I'm waiting on my frontier print to come in. I'm pretty new to painting, how much stretch did you give it before applying?

Hi guys and gals!
I'm back with a new project (not that I've posted much on here) but I want to include you all and meet some new friends :)

I should probably start by giving a bit of an introduction. My name is Cam, I'm from the UK (Wales. Yes it's a different country than England) and I'm pretty obsessed with Spider-man.
I've already sewn together a dye-sub from Frontier Costuming which was brilliant (comic book style Spidey) So now I'm back to take on the latest suit from Amazing Spider-man 2.

I really want to go all out on this suit. As some of you might be aware, Stan Lee will be coming to the UK for his last ever event in July and I've got tickets to meet him! So I really want to impress him with my costume.

The plan is to have a Dye sub suit. Paint on the webs with 3D tulip paint. Make a faceshell and stick it all together!

This thread will be pretty pic heavy! I'll post my favorite snaps on here but will include a link to my Photobucket for you to browse through.

Due to a certain member I have had several problems with in the past I will be making sure that my face is featured in these progress shots, so I apologise in advance for my scruffy clothes and hair :p

Lets get started:

20/01/14
My lenses from TJack arrive.
Absolutely blown away by the quality!

01/02/14
Dye Sub arrives from Frontier Costuming.
Loving the way the colours came out, my original plan was to tulip paint all of the blue but it looks just as good without :)
Here's a picture after I cut it all out.

I had been testing out my tulip painting skills for weeks using some "henna" applicator bottles with fine metal tips, I had enough paint left from the tests to go ahead and do the palms & thumbs of the suit, here's how it turned out:

02/02/14

It's raining outside so I can't work on my motorcycle ... decide to go down to my workshop and make a faceshell! (and bore my girlfriend half to death)

The whole sculpt took me 2 hours to finish using TJacks Frames as reference for eye alignment.
Here's some WIP's

Got a bit carried away so I drew a quick web in the eye (just so you know it's my cast ;D)

http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums..._254279758081207_1118943591_n_zps6c23b4ae.jpg

I then used a heat gun to seal the clay enough to start putting the silicone on:

http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums..._254279851414531_1262704544_n_zpsae3c4937.jpg

And that's where I'm at currently!

Sorry for making it a rather long first post but I've been rather productive over the weekend :)

I'm waiting for more puff paint to arrive and more silicone, updates to come soon!

Literally cannot thank TJack and Frontier Costuming enough for their amazing work.

Please give me some feedback what am I doing wrong? what am I doing right?
Would love some discussions.

That's all for now folks!

Good luck with the puff paint. Hope it holds up. I did that on a costume years ago with poor results. On my latest build I am using liquid latex that I have tinted black.

Seeing the suit makes me very happy I also purchased the ASM2 suit from Frontier and should be getting mine any time soon. This will be the second suit I purchased from them. Love their work so far and can't wait to see your finish suit. Keep it up!

Good questions. Yes, I did. I found that it was a good medium for awhile, but ended up cracking and peeling over time.

Ok. For now it looks pretty good on mine. I will see how it will look after a while.

UPDATE TIME!

My print should be at home when I get back from work, so I'll update again then!

I did a fair bit of work over the weekend and managed to get a faceshell cast so I tested it out on my old spider suit and the results were so much better!

Before/After:

Here's a couple shots of it:

Bear in mind this was the first cast I made so it's pretty rough, the one I'll be using for the new suit will have magnets in it for the frame alignment :)

spi1derman: I'll be there on the Friday and Saturday, hope to see you there bud!
 
Re: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Costume Build - Frontier Costuming Print W.I.P

Holy Crap-ola!

This looks awesome man! (gives Rep)

That face shape is very comic book style, and makes it feel more arachnid than human. I like it a lot. major props.
 
Re: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Costume Build - Frontier Costuming Print W.I.P
