Hey Miles, could you make a video on the different lens options you have and where some of the best places to purchase them would be? Thank you and keep up the good work on your videos!!

[@anakinmonkey]

for sure!

[@10piecemcnugget17]

the timing of your videos just randomly showing up on my feed is crazy, i have been contemplating getting a suit but didnt know how. thanks for these videos, i would be so lost without them

[@anakinmonkey]

glad to help!

[@spottieryeti6552]

SCARLET SPIDER WOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Sorry I love your cosplays and that’s my favorite Spider-Man

[@kaylumbillings20]

I have a mouth cover for mine and it works perfectly for me it's just the little silicone piece

[@modifiedprogramjam4830]

Sick guide bro! This helped alot. I just bought a faceshell, hoping it fits my big head

[@TortLikesChimps]

I’m making my own face shell Sean’s crafts has really good tutorials

[@WyattRumore]

Great video! I also appreciate the perk-a-colas

[@abeeinafridge]

That really helped thanks!!

[@zephyrrunner4]

I couldnt get myself to wear contacts so I installed a prescription lens insert into all my face shells! 14:50

[@anakinmonkey]

i’ve always thought about that wondering how it would work! that’s so cool

[@socorrespecial]

Plz tell me how you do that

[@CarlosJosueGonzalez2223]

Spider-Man!!! ❤️

[@marlonwilson8321]

Please do a video on how to measure head for faceshell

[@samuel-mx3oq]

hey man, love the videos. i’m pretty new to this and was just wondering if you’d recommend fog less lenses? if they still look well for most masks

[@john_lloyd_edit5726]

[@griffinkammes9055]

Hey Miles loving the videos. Is there any chance you can make a video explain how to get the face shell and lenses magnetic?

[@anakinmonkey]

check out my "how to order your first suit"

[@Ulises895]

Instead make your own Spider-Man suit for scarlet spider

[@Epic_boy100]

​@@anakinmonkeyis your name literally Miles?

[@eji]

14:50 I've seen some faceshells that have a bit of space between the eyes and the lenses... maybe people could try to get thin prescription swim goggles and wear them underneath?

[@bludy-xl3lk]

This helped

[@anakinmonkey]

glad to help!

[@Spidey1996]

You are great and thurough, and the dog 100% earned you the subscription, lol. Do you have any info on gluing or sticking the mask to the faceshell so you dont have to adjust it so often/every time you put it on?

[@anakinmonkey]

Thank you! I dont personally attach my masks to my shells permanently. But Ive found that coating the shell with a layer of spray on plasti dip gives the mask a better surface to attach to

[@So_cool12345]

Thank you miles for teaching me how to get better at spider man cosplaying please respond bro

[@anakinmonkey]

No problem!

[@VicFettOfficial]

Go to the time in the vid 11:45 and look at the door

[@nicolasbaez9082]

At minute 11:00 the door closed by itself :O. Awesome video miles

[@anakinmonkey]

good catch... i wonder what that was hehe

[@morterox2]

Hey Miles! I got my first suit with lenses sewed in, I'm very happy with it but since I live in a country very forgotten for the humanity do you know where I can get the model to 3D print a faceshell for this suit?

[@fullmetalsk8r]

What is a good way to make alterations to a eva foam face shell? It fits in width, but i dont think the template I used was tall enough. Side note, how do you scale a premade template/pdf to fit your own head? Apologies if this wasnin the video and didnt catch it. Thanks man!

[@techsavvyhero]

Great video, sir!! What's your favorite method for keeping your fabric mask over your shells (so they stay in place)? I tried contact cement but it can show through the red fabric. I'm looking for the best method to use for all of my Spidey shells.

[@anakinmonkey]

I don’t use anything to permanently fix the mask on. I cost my shells w plasti dip to give the mask something to grip onto to prevent slipping. But all my masks are removable:)

[@fireddj]

Hey miles! I was wondering where you got your mask prints. Everywhere I go, I only see mask prints with lenses attached to them. I’m trying to make a Spidey-Mask for Halloween, haha.

[@Ducko852]

His intro should just be him saying "intro now"

[@mistersmores6228]

question: should you get a black or red faceshell? i’m guessing it doesn’t really matter but idk if a black faceshell would reveal under a fabric peter parker mask if it’s too thin

[@savatar360]

Me, hoping that the Spider-Man mask I ordered has a face shell with it while watching these videos😂 if not, I will have to either buy a face shell or make one out of cardboard😅

[@anakinmonkey]

luckily i hace a video on both of those for you :)

[@samuelcellard9305]

I want to know where to get the spider-punk spiderman costume for cosplay

[@dunx3394]

Hey Miles, looking into making a Spider-punk ATSV cosplay and am printing the faceshell and lenses. Do you know what to use in the lenses, like the white mesh part?? Thanks

[@albertvandesluis8235]

Miles, as you use your faceshells for all your suits during long photo shoots, do you have any problems with your lenses fogging up? And condensation on the inside of the shell around the nose. Any tips for that?

[@anakinmonkey]

the only shell i have where the lenses fog is TASM2 since it’s not vented. and i normally don’t have condensation unless it’s hot summer. The masks are fairly well ventilated

[@Yimtheeko]

Hey Miles, where did you get your ps4 advanced shell and lenses? I’m looking for one like that. Thanks!

[@Jabberakajasper]

He’s got the slightly awkward delivery for Peter Parker down packed

[@YourNeighbor4761]

I did wanna ask about your experience on buying the face shell from print costume. How has that fit you because I am wondering on whether to make the process easier and buying it with the suit or going for a 3rd party seller

[@anakinmonkey]

print costume has a one size fits all shell- third party sellers have custom sizing. the shell i’m wearing in the video is custom sized and fits better then everything else i own

[@littlelego]

hey there, I know this is a dumb question, but since you said that the face mask can be DIY, can the entire suit be DIY (for lack of a better word), easily? Also if you have a video how, can you link it? thanks....

[@Aprjtosbricnsgflr]

How strong are the magnets on the lenses. Like if I use a really thick mask like a wool mask would it be strong enough. Actually I doubt it tbh

[@jacob_walker_96]

Where did you get the amazing spider man 2 face shell and lenses?

[@SKEEYEE1234]

Pls do you half to use the atachble lenses face mask or can I use one that the lenses are sowed on

[@AlguemTOTALMENTEsemsussidade]

Hey Miles! How can I get the fabric if I 3d print it myself?

[@Julio-ni6zj]

hey i just recently got a faceshell...but i have no idea where to get the fabric from please help

[@itsmr.rainbow3861]

Hi there! I was wondering how would you hide your hair so the mask does not deform on it. I have relatively big afro and in scared my face will look great with a shell but the top of my head will not because of the amount of compresion on my hair.

[@anakinmonkey]

most people compress their hair with a balaclava. Should work to keep it all under the mask. unless there is alot

[@Deadeye_YT_ig]

Hey Miles, im working on a 2099 cosplay and don't understand much with the face shell, I got the suit and face shell separate but don't know how I put it in the mask, would like some help^^

[@anakinmonkey]

faceshell on first, then mask over it, then the lenses go on top.

[@Deadeye_YT_ig]

@@anakinmonkey oh so it just, sticks in the mask?

[@anakinmonkey]

@@Deadeye_YT_ig the lenses are magnetic. you take em off. slide the mask on then pop em right back on :)

[@janetferrini7182]

Can you custom make a facial for glasses for people that wear glasses or not

[@anakinmonkey]

probably not. You could get prescription lenses. but its most likley youre not wearing the glasses under the suit.

[@MegaCarencro]

Do you know where I can get a fabric mask? I bought the red and black suit from sim cosplay and broke the lenses. Ordered a face shell with lenses, but no fabric mask from Amazon. I just need the mask, so please tell me if you know where i can get the mask

[@dvda1722]

where can I buy a complete shell and mask?

[@Zeddeckswyy]

D'you know how to deal with long hair under the mask/faceshell?

[@anakinmonkey]

wrap it in a messy condensed bun and compress with a balaclava :)

[@Just_andres]

I got a spider man mask it's the one with the moving eye lenses and I can't breathe in it without getting the lenses foggy (breathing with my nose and mouth)

[@anakinmonkey]

the moving eye lenses one yea that’s gonna happen sadly. the way that’s made, there’s so much in it, it’s so thick. It’s more of a helmet then a mask. especially if it’s the manufacturer one.

[@Just_andres]

@@anakinmonkey Oh alright then thanks for trying to help though I appreciate it

[@mysticechos5006]

Where do I get the fabric?

[@ItzDOSE]

Is there any way to get just the mask? I’ve always wanted to make my own miles morales spin off type outfit.

[@anakinmonkey]

yep! check one of my more recent vids on exactly that!

[@juanzavala540]

Your intro hi guys welcome to a new video so it’s happened

[@juanzavala540]

I’m gonna go for it and wear no glasses you inspire me to wear in the classes to put my cosplaying to 100%

[@FrankCastle01]

If I were to get different lenses for the face shell would they have to fit the face shell in order to connect

[@anakinmonkey]

yes. faceshell and lenses go together. Every lense style has a facshell that goes with it specifically. Some are interchangeable, but not many

[@friendlyneighborhoodSpider2]

What about suits that have the lenses attached to the mask?

[@anakinmonkey]

i personally don’t get those or reccomended them for this reason, since i opt for a faceshell. But in that case, some people just use the bare shells w/out lenses and slide the mask over :)

[@Dragonceratops]

Would you recommend permanently gluing the fabric mask onto the faceshell or making it removable like the lenses?

[@anakinmonkey]

i personally don’t. I like to swap out masks. I use plasti dip on my shell to give the maks somthing to grip onto. but keep it remivable

[@Dragonceratops]

@@anakinmonkey Okay, thanks!

[@realreyhan]

For the Ben Reilly shell, are you doing the Sensational suit or the Scarlet Spider?

[@anakinmonkey]

scarlet spider 🙌🕷

[@realreyhan]

@@anakinmonkey Oh, dope! You said you would paint the lenses black so I thought maybe it was the sensational suit. :)

[@anakinmonkey]

@@realreyhan i may have misspoke lol. you’re right the black lenses are sensational. for the one i’m doing i’ll have to paint them red 😅

[@timothywhite1872]

I'm trying to find the eyes and face shell.................. The one I have the visibility is so bad after a few minutes of wearing

[@anakinmonkey]

depends on which one you get. my TASM2 lenses are awful for visibility. But my custom mask is great!

[@user-iv3jj1ht4v]

i rlly want to make a spectacular spiderman face shell but idk how :(

[@chriscarrera1172]

The easiest way is to find a template online, print it out, trace it over cardboard, cut and glue it together.

[@Yimtheeko]

Hi Miles,My friend does 3D printing , and where can i find free 3D faceshell models for 3D priting ,for example that miles morales faceshell

[@anakinmonkey]

check on things verse for free files. if you can’t find the one you want, look on google for the shell you do want :) you may need to pay for the files if you can’t find exactly what you want for free. but it’s totally worth it

[@Yimtheeko]

@@anakinmonkey thank you spider-man 🕸🙏🏻❤️

[@MrMilwvenom]

I'm having troubles finding masks with just the eye holes cut out. I want to use a face shell with magnet eyes. Looking for Spider verse Miguel O'Hara, and Ben Riley... any help??

[@anakinmonkey]

print costume :) you can order solely a mask from a suit design you like. just made a recent vid showing how to do that :) code: MILES15 to save too

[@user-uj4en4be6i]

Are half face shells still good quality? I’m new to cos play and want to get something starter.

[@anakinmonkey]

just depends on the plastic and construction. but you’ll lose the structure half way down ofc

[@user-uj4en4be6i]

@@anakinmonkeyyea, I got one and it works good for a starter, I order my first Spider-Man suit off print costumes so I can’t wait to see how it looks

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

I Got a faceshell and attached mask it was almost impossible to Get the faceshell into the mask and line up the eye holes correctly is it easier to Get a faceshell into the mask if it's Detached ? Because I have a mask with lenses attached I'm thinking of trying to slip it over a faceshell

[@anakinmonkey]

I would always reccomend a detached mask. that amoung many reasons. It allows more movement and flexibility with the mask itsel

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

@@anakinmonkey so as I understand a Detached mask works best and you're supposed to put the faceshell on first and then put the mask on because I tried put the faceshell into the mask and then putting it on it was almost impossible

[@anakinmonkey]

@@ComiccollectorGamer in my opinion and experience a detached mask works better overall

Wait a min your not black...

[@sr20_kid93]

So I gotta question hopefully you can answer, when I do the custom tailored fit size option and I give my head measurements and then I buy a third party face shell and lenses with the mask that comes with the suit. Will it not fit right?? Also this one is really important. Can I choose the face shell + magnetic lenses on printcostume and just buy tobey magurie Raimi lenses off of Etsy??

[@anakinmonkey]

hey! happy to help. 1. the measurements you put in are for the fabric mask that comes w the suit. I always reccomend to overshoot the size by a 1/4-1/2 inch on the forehead measurement. to account for the shell. shells are thin so won’t be an issue but to give it some leeway that’s a safe bet 2. printcostume offers a generic faceshell option. You can get them, but they are not accurate to the tobey shell. If you want a third party shell off etsy, make sure to click the “no faceshell, open eyes” option on the mask. you’ll get just the mask, you can then slide over your tobey specific shell from etsy.
