(WIP) TASM2 zentai suit (stolen print) full treatment.

ATTENTION!!! please be aware this is a stolen print from Orhada print file and does not meet the standards of his print.
so if your are offended or do not wish to support bootlegs and cheap copies, now would be a good time to exit this thread.
Hi Everyone. I've wanted to do a spiderman suit since the first Toby Spiderman movie.
Since i never had the money to do it "right", i have to just settled and found this suit on Zentai-Zentai.com.
I put in my measurements and had the U zipper and horizontal crotch zipper added.
I think it came out pretty good. Cons of the suit are probably the tailoring. some of the webbing lines don't meet up and the sole part of the feet come up to much on my heel. So here is my process of making it the best i can.
Tools/Materials.
1 - Tulip Metallics black Paint X2
Tulip Slick Deep Red/Navy blue X2/Black.
2 - Liquitex Pro Heavy Body acrylic paint. Brush
3 - Gorilla Glue
4 - J-B Weld PlasticWeld quick-setting Epoxy.
5 - Rare Earth Magnets. Thin disk pack of 12 and Cylinder pack of 12
6 - Zentai-Zentai amazing Spiderman 3d print.
7 - TJack Lens and universal face shell set.
8 - Scuba boots.
9 - Krylon Gloss Black and Enamal.
10 - Rawlings Sports cup with Fitted shorts.
11 - (still unsure to purchase) FunkyBod Muscle shirt.
12 - Shoe Goo
Alright, now thats out of the way, i first started with the face shell.
Drilled vent holes on top, bottom, eye holes and slits for elastic bands.
I also drilled a slight inset for the disk magnets to sit in face shell and the lens frames for the cylinder magnets (which needed to be deeper)
I then Glued the Magnets to face shell. Constantly checking back for correct placement. Traced the lens on the face shell after shaping them with heat gun. Then i added elastic bands on the face shell by hand sewing it. vertical to lower horizontal.
After that, glued the lens to the frame with brush on crazy glue. (little goes a long way) After setting, Gorrilla glued magnets to frames and held in place by vice grips to cure. I then Taped off the back of frames and the lens with blue painters tape before spray painting the frames. Two coats of the gloss black and 2 coats of enamel.
After that, J-B weld the lens to the frames and magnets from the back to really seal everything together.
So this is the out come so far. Will continue to update as i work on it. Next is finding a mannequin my size to get a good surface for painting.
Waiting on Scuba boots to put on the suit. thats going to be a pain.
Having trouble with the excess fabric bunching around the eyes. Anyone have suggestions?

Its coming out extremely nice for the zentai! that's actually a really good zentai TASM 2, was it the one that was recently posted here? might have to look into that! Does the suit have a zipper in the front?

I don't know about it being posted here but this is the link where i got it from. I agree, i was skeptical at first about it but ended up just going for it.
No zipper in the front. It comes with the straight vertical zipper down the back just like the movie, but i opted for the U zipper and added a horizontal crotch zipper running from one thigh to the next.

Re: (WIP) TASM2 zentai suit full treatment.

The reason it "looks good for a zentai" is that it's not a zentai. It's a stolen print pattern.

#*&#ING ZENTAI ZENTAI.COM. All over again.

I'd like to give a stern talking-to to whichever spineless jerk leaked that file to them. This is a stolen print file from RPF member Orhadar that those despicable nitwits are selling on their site, just like when they stole his Comic-Book style pattern a few months ago.

UGH. I CAN'T EVEN WITH THIS ANYMORE.

You guys want a spidey suit? Then support the craftsmen who work on these patterns and files and go through the established channels. Every time somebody uses a zentai suit place to get a spidey suit using a stolen file, the more the hobby is harmed, the more likely it is that creators will stop creating and the more likely that Sony or Marvel is going to lay down the law and shut down hobby suitmakers. Attention from mass-manufacturing blowhards in China like Zentai-Zentai.com is not the kind of attention that is good for prop replica makers.
*****.

Sorry you feel this way. I fully understand where you are coming from and why you are upset. I had no knowledge of this being a stolen print.
To be truthfully sincere, if i had known, i still would have purchased it. For the price alone, not everyone has the money to spend hundreds of dollars to get it printed and sewn. I'm also not blaming them, because i don't know what went on to get Ohadars print. their are limits to every individuals abilities and or financial funds (just saying).

Just to be clear, you're saying that had you known this was the work of a forum member, stolen work, that was then sold at a price designed to undercut that member of this forum, you would still have purchased the file, simply because it was saving you money?
That's what you're saying? You're going to preach "not everybody can spend a lot of money on props" at me?

Oh, and by the way, "sorry you feel this way" isn't an apology.

I was typing a whole novel of defense, but i thought "why?"
You were just informing us it was a stolen print. I stated my thoughts.
Thank you Orhadar for making your print. But Zentai copy or not cant make it the way you intended. Your work will always be above the imitations.
and thank you Lunaman for your comment and informing me it was a stolen print.

I guess it's time to rally the troops again. I thought Zentai-Zentai would have learned last time :facepalm

Man I wish I would have known where he was getting his print from before I sold him lenses and a faceshell. I may have to start asking for that detail before selling from here on in

Cant speak for anyone else but I don't blame you one bit. Knowing you personally I have every confidence you would never contribute to a project that supported the rape of works produced by members of this community.

So what everyone is saying is that they havent watched a non-official music video from youtube, or ever downloaded a movie, or went to one of the free porn sites instead of paying... we all disagree with it on a basic level, but come on. He was honest and said this is a knock off. Everyones work is a knock off... i dont see expressed written permission from stan lee, or any other spiderman creator for that matter.. he also didnt get the best sew job in the world... you gonna knock him for that too? Obviously he didnt have the $500 that goes into many of these suits, if not more ($50 print, $150 fod, $225 sewing, another $100 face shield and eyes, plus anything i dont know about as i havent built this yet). He wanted to be spidey and found a way that he could afford. He even said it isnt as nice (you get what you pay for).
Would i choose the same way? probably not... would my wife, not knowing about this site or the sheer amount of time that goes into this stuff, wanting to buy me a suit for my upcoming birthday do it? Your damn right she would. There is no *this pattern is stolen* disclaimer on the site. She simply is going to see a price tag, and a close enough to spidey picture they are displaying.

Crap... I really hope spidey Boone really made his file! As far as I know it's not stolen!
