We have a big house spider that lives under a paving slab, outside our back door. She’s pretty fierce, last seen battling a slug. Anyway, she’s also freaks me out enough that I thought she’d make s great miniature.
So I set about sculpting a massive house spider and here’s the results. I’ve made a resin copy, which got a quick slap of paint.
I’ll be including her in my next Kickstarter project, which will be along soon...ish.

WTF!
Where do you live, just so I know where to send the tactical nuke! lol
very nice sculpt, freaky as heck but really well done.
-
Thank you. I keep double checking before I pick it up, just to make sure.its not a real one.
-
Lol makes me think of the incredible shrinking man :o
-
I don't mind spiders, but that painted photo of it on your hand is … icky. Too realistic.
-
Very nice. Will it have metal legs or all resin. Just thinking about terrible snapping problems!

Thanks all.
He’s all resin, but the resin is the bendy sort, which is very resilient and will take a fair amount of abuse before breaking.

Looking forward to seeing the next KS! 8)

Thank you. I’m aiming for mid January. Gives me plenty of time to get more sculpts together.

Aw, lookit the cute widdle feets!

One thing can be too realistic in mini form and that thing is spiders. I might actually have trouble handling that!

I know how you feel. I find myself checking it before I pick it up, just in case it’s a real one sitting on the table (it’s be unusually big if it was, but best to make sure)

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!
