To give you an indication of the effect your model is having, I left the pictures up on the computer and MrsCub walked in the room. "What the f--k is that! What the f--k is that!" I tried to explain, but didn't get more than two words in before, "I don't care what it is, get it the f--k off the computer or I'm not coming in the room. That is minging. I'm serious, get it off the screen or I'm not coming in!"

And she doesn't normally swear either, let alone insert dashes into rude words.

That’s so cool. It is a freaky little git. I’ll have to send you a prototype. The leg joints need tweaking for a production version. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Same address as last time?

Yes .. but she will NOT like it, I can guarantee!

I know what I’d do.

I gave The Monstrous Spider a lick of paint. Then used some of Greenstuff Worlds Spider Serum on the base. Showed the Mrs and she didn’t like it very much. Job done :)

Thank you.
I’m not sure on how resilient the web is. One day later and it’s holding up well. I think a spray of testors will help toughen it up a bit.

Very nice. That's almost inspiration enough to get an airbrush.

There are giant slug miniatures out there, I think you should ask Cubs to bite the bullet and make a diorama  :D

This spider mini looks great, I have a peculiar fondness for house spiders in general! Any chance of you getting a picture of the original inspiration sometime?

Thank you for sharing

Very realistic and suitably frightening, especially if you were only 28mm tall!
