Awesome, thanks!! I've been trying to find good pictures of the full costume.
I cut holes in the mask, then pushed the goggles through from the inside, then hot glued the little lip on the eyecup of the goggles to the inside of the mask.
I used the fabric from the sleeves of my hoodie, flipped inside out. That's also what is thought to be accurate to the movie

I was thinking of the same method, but what if you need to wash the mask? Yup, that's what I did with my hoodie too. :thumbsup

I have yet to do so with mine, but when I do I'll just peel the goggles/glue off. It doesn't stick terribly permanently to the goggles, so that should be doable. If yours is a really high heat glue gun, then maybe you could do it before it's fully heated?
So this is what I have so far for the trigger mechanism. I decided to use something I was a little more familiar with, LEGO. definitely isn't the final product and I plan to replace the trigger piece with something a little more screen accurate and give the whole thing a paint job. If you guys want I'll post instructions once I'm happy with it. The last one is a screenshot from a behind the scenes YouTube video.

Nice!! Is it springy? Or is it just single position?
The short answer is not yet but thats the plan. The two grey and black piston are on hinges and so is the trigger. My plan is to have the pistons go into those 2 rectangular pieces in front of the cartridges and the spring to fasten between them. So when I pull down the trigger the pistons move out and the spring gets stretched out, when I release it the spring pulls them back in.

Where on the glove is it? I'm not seeing anything. Also, you don't have any pictures of the webshooters do you?
It's the small "GEL" logo

Does anyone know what the triangle thing on the tops are? I thought they were just custom greeblies, but they look like the have white printing on the top, like an electronics component

Sorry to double post, but I made a crude "diagram" of the webshooter mechanism. It's surprisingly simple when you actually look at it:

I'm really thinking that the homemade suit is all made out of Aunt May's clothings, the hoodie looks to be woman sized and I don't believe that Peter owns pyjamas in those colors. :lol
But I can confirm that his wrist bands are not sweat bands, might be a mixture of black nylon straps and red elastic bands.
The gloves should be lifting/cycling gloves whereby the velcro is hidden on the inside, the GEL logo looks familiar. Still can't make out the brand that uses such fonts.

Haha I agree, it's all suspiciously tight fitting :lol
Do you have a source? It definitely looks like wristbands with nylon strapping looped around it.
Also notice it has padded suede palms:
The bands are most definitely sweatbands.

For those interested, Fett202 and I are going to be offering fully functional and highly accurate replicas of the homemade webshooters. This includes working trigger mechanism, removable cartridges, and authentic hardware. I've got an interest thread going in the Project Runs section.

I think it's a mixture of both or the main material to hold the mechanics are nylon and the red bands are added on for aesthetics. Definitely interested in the kit.

These gloves seem to have the same palms. Maybe the costume department added their own fabric to the top of the gloves with the web pattern.

The nylon is added to the sweatbands. I circled the spots where you can see that it's looped around.

I always thought that the sweat band was the one looping the nylon. :lol
