A bit of a long shot here... just wondering if anyone has seen a small scale carnivorous/man eating plant? Something akin to the cute little guy from little shop of horrors:

Basically am looking for something a bit smaller than a 28mm figure... kinda like a small one you could put in a planter or something...

Try Ramshackle games they have 11 mutant plant pack that includes a man eater.

I made one from a Walnut shell once ...

Huge ditto marks on that statement!
Timbor, I tried to come up with something monstrous that might be adapted to your needs, but struck out.
Meridian's Aequatherium came to mind, but is both too large, and not really suitable.

I'm pretty sure there's SOMETHING that would work, but then getting the pea-sized walnut head seems another hurdle.
Not much use, am I.

That's actually not half bad... but is likely a bit too big for my needs.

Absolutely terrific! Well done!
I am thinking of using a tyranid gaunt head, chopping out the mouth and using greenstuff to make the plant head. I also have a punch to make paper leaves/vines, so I think I could swing it that way. Still might get those ramshackle plants though, they look great.

Inspired by Ssendam this blogger (http://28mmvictorianwarfare.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/a-handful-of-nuts.html) recorded his walnut-based construction process for an Audrey II.

I hadn't seen those second Creepers before, they're really nice.

Big enough to work with anything from 6 - 28mm, nicely priced, available in multiples (buy five get sixth free!).

And apparently just re-reading. Cool.

I was considering an Audrey to add to the Creeper range. What would you like to see?

Sorry sir, but this idea is simply too awesome not to be stolen :-* :-* :D :D
-
Horrorclix did one.

The new GW nurgle snail rider has Audrey in a little plant pot on the snails back/
I'm sure if ou ask around your local den of warhammer players there'll be someone willing to part with it.

Some amazing ideas on this thread!!
