Like many before me, I've begun my quest through the corridors and canyons of the Amazon(.com) in search of cheap junk which when assembled will create the perfect cheap looking junk-compilation. Yep, I've chosen to hop on board the ultimate budget build bandwagon, and put together the homemade suit from Spider-Man Homecoming. And I'm pretty excited. I've been waiting for a steampunky spidey suit to make the big screens for a while now so...
I made the mask originally out of fleece because that's what looked the most accurate, but after comparing the permeability with that of a wet rag and finding the latter to be superior, I decided I'd rather breathe than look perfectly screen-accurate. And so I made this mask out of an old cotton T-Shirt.
For the goggles, I ordered these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002...ng+goggles&dpPl=1&dpID=41yCzhatIkL&ref=plSrch
And then ordered some mesh replacement lenses to replace the ones the goggles came with. I then went at the original black lenses with some scissors and laid them over the mesh to get the squinty look.
I ordered the gloves from amazon as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L...g_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KX6YPTCWW26A25BDPWNX
They're red with black palms and a black thumb, so two black thumbs up for screen-accuracy. I started the webbing on each using light puff paint, so as to still have that messy look but with a little shine.
The sweatpants are on the way and I'll be ordering the sweatshirt as soon as I send back the one they sent me which was very much the wrong size. I'll also be starting on the Stark suit as soon as the one I ordered from zentaizone arrives. I plan to texture it using puffy paint in a similar (albeit likely not as impressive) fashion as matthewdelacruz
Here's a rough test on paper
I purchased this ten dollar mask from target that I plan to use as a half faceshell. I removed the lining it came with and used a dremel to start sanding down all the pokey spots
It's roughly accurate in terms of size, and I might even be able to use its lenses.
Will update as more of my crud gets here from amazon.
