Love the centipedes! Are they made of some kind of soft rubber? I think I also have some of those somewhere stashed away.

I also love the giant wasps, who manufacturers them and at which price (if I may ask)?

they were purchased from an Everything's a $1 store, and at Big Lots from their Haloween stuff.

So the most everything was wasps were about 5cents a piece, but only per pack. Soft Plastic. the basing material holds well to it so no extra glue, just push them in when wet.

Roaches are from the same sets.

Got lots of spiders, scorpions, etc as well.

It takes some nonchalance to scratch your arse while surrounded by giant roaches!

LOL
Only noticed that after reading your post...

Those giant bugs are a very good idea (and quite cheap to do too).

Any post-apoc environment should include giant centipedes.  8)

Very nicely done figures. Conjure up the Fallout imagery perfectly!

Now they just have to move at about three or four times the character movement rate whatever game system you are using, and it's done! (have you seen how fast things move in Fallout:New Vegas :o :o :o)

P.S. If we're talking nuclear radiation soaked environments, where are the classic giant ants?

Have some. Just not the giant ones as big as a tank.

I will stick to the fire ants size from Fallout. they are still bigger than a man.

They are great. I have some plastic insects to make wasteland nasties from. Got some lizards too for various types of Gecko.  :D I need to find some time.

I am loving your terrain too.
