In your V2, where did you get the matching shirt and pants? I've been digging for weeks to no avail.

My Homecoming Spidey Suit so far! I bought a hoodie and just readjusted it but I made the long-sleeve and the pants since it's a bit hard to find matching colors online (note that the colors are actually lighter in real-life. My kitchen lights definitely alter the shade). I'm planning to wear this to SDCC, given it's not insanely hot this year, but I still need to make a few adjustments. I'm probably going to redo the logo (do you think putting it in the washing machine would be a viable option?) and I'm still debating whether I should use a Zentai mask or go for a more screen accurate look with the fabric he's using (although Zentai material is easier to breathe in). I used red Toms for the shoes and then for the web shooters, I used craft foam that I sealed with Mod Podge and spray painted red, and then I bought cheap USBs from Daiso and painted it silver. Super happy with what I have so far and hopefully I can have everything finalize by SDCC!

I just finished doing the same thing to my Gildan sweatshirt, really happy with the results https://imgur.com/a/ewunP
Made a new mold for the cartridges, it's not perfect but it's better than my first attempt. Pulled a bunch of casts today. Also finished the main web shooter piece and started work on the nozzle. Threw together a mock-up and test-fit, I'm REALLY pleased with how it's turning out.

I've been having so much trouble finding the right sweatpants. I've been looking at these ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0155X2EQE/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I16E1INMSP4X9G&colid=3CU8XN43AXAJD But the smallest size available is XL. Part of me is thinking about finding some pure white sweatpants and shirt, and then dying them together the same shade of light blue.

Those are coming together really well! I pulled some pictures to try and help with the main shooter. I hope these help! Really looking forward to the outcome!

The sweatshirt is a Gildan Men's Fleece Crewneck Sweatshirt and the pants are Hanes 8 Oz Women's Comfortblend Fleece Pant. Both Carolina Blue.

Does anyone have any good dimensions for the webshooters? The sweatbands I found are 3" wide, which means the cartridges would be 3" long and about an inch wide, but with 5 cartridges on it total, my wrist is too scrawny to fit them all on :lol Is my math off, or am I gonna have to pad out those bands somehow?

eek, double-posted! sorry!
I made my cartridges about 7cm (the length of the sweatbands) long and 2.3cm wide. I have really scrawny wrists too and they all fit just fine. I'll be offering kits of my webshooters/cartridges soon if you are interested.
Looks awesome!!

Thanks man! I can't tell you how empowering wearing this suit is

That's certainly reassuring, thank you! I probably would go in for yours, but part of my goal with this project is to get a feel for styrene.
I got a moderately cleaner shot of the trigger from the same teaser that Fett did, and it's, um...pretty intimidating. I'd even go so far as to call it needlessly complicated, but I guess that's our problem

I don't have a great front camera, but here's mine! I'm still working on the web shooter triggers and the wires & panels that go on the goggles, but other than that I'm basically done! If you'll notice, the blue shirt and pants don't match as well as the socks and the shoes but I don't think I'll change anything about this suit (other than the mask and web shooters when we get better references) just to get an authentic "homemade" look.
most of the details were washed out in the pics... darn front cam! I'll post some more pics with a better camera once I have someone who can help me out!

I understand. Making them from scratch has been a great learning experience in styrene for me. It's probably my favorite material to work with.
As for the trigger...yeah, I'm not even going to try to attempt it until we have more reference/someone sources the parts. I agree, it looks needlessly complicated haha

I noticed that the blue parts of the homecoming onesie looks tight. So I was wondering, would it be possible to replace it with a sky-blue zentai???

I mean you could but your result would look more like a inverse colored scarlet spider with that fabric. On my blue bits I tailored my shirt to be tight on my arms while the pants came pretty form fitting already all I had to do was trim off a bit of the legs so they weren't so baggy. I chose the ones I did because I wanted to achieve the same look the movie suits fabric did and I think I succeeded in that haha

I know what you are talking about. My point was that using a zentai woud be easier for the colors to match and it would be easy to find. But I changed my mind after seeing this 
No seriously wtf...
btw good point about the scarlet spider thing, never thought of that
