Hey guys, this is my first thread so if I make any mistakes please bare with me. Ever sense The Amazing Spider Man came out I wanted to make a replica suit of it. But from past experience Spider man is one of the hardest superhero suits that can be made (movie wise). I am using a zentai suit because its inexpensive and is a good base for the suit. Here is the progress so far.
The first thing I did was puff paint on the front spider, I didn't paint straight from the bottle. I used a paint brush and painted it on. This allows it to be raised a little bit but still be metallic just like the movie. Sorry for the bad lighting.
Next was the back spider. In the movie the back spider was VERY metallic. So I figured That if I put on four or five coats of red puff paint (using the same method as the front spider) I would have a bright, bold, raised and metallic back spider and that is exactly what happened.
Next were the blue on the gloves. The gloves on the suit were solid red which was not very accurate. So what I did was use blue acrylic paint. It kinda works like a brush able dye. It's not the best method considering over time the paint does crack, but after I put puff paint and vinyl on the gloves you won't be able to notice. If you are going to use this method be sure to wear vinyl gloves underneath because the paint WILL seep through.
Then I puff painted on the details on the front and back spider. I puff painted it because it was fast and easy, having the details raised is not very accurate. But I think it came out great!
I am currently working on the face shell, I am using Joe Lai's method of using a pepakura helmet stand because the proportions of the helmet stand are similar to the movie such as the nose and the size.
I am going to get TJack's awesome TASM V2 lenses and I am going to get epilepticsquirl's awesome 3d printed shapeways webshooters. That's all I got for now thanks for looking and be sure to check this thread for updates.
