Check out these unusual critters, and the materials he uses too.  This guy seems to think out of the box:





Enjoy!

I like the all of the big bugs, however, I just don't know about the others, they seem a little off to me. But, hey that is just me.
Just remember "If the Enemy is in range, so are YOU!

Ah yes, Bill Making Stuff.

He often has some amazing and creative projects. I have to echo War Monkey's sentiments regarding the bugs in the frame; they're great. The others, to me, are more (generic?) nightmare fuel than Cthulhu-ish, but that may also be my own subjective visualisation of the scary stuff from Lovecraftian stories... ::)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

If my fingers* cooperate for a change, I might have to have a go at making some of those “bugs”.

If Tim Burton did Cthulhu ...

I'm going to be that guy for a bit here  o_o

We seem to have a very set perception of what a Lovecraftian monster looks like , when the most commonly used word to describe them in "indescribable" or "unknowable" When you go back to before the current lovecraft interest you'll find more varying depictions of the monsters which these models could easily fit in with. All of them would not look out of place in the dreamlands for one! Ofcourse, if you like the current consensus on the lovecraft look that is absolutely fine as well!

Big fans of Bill Making Stuff in this household! Lots of excellent ideas - kind of old-school 40K as done by Studio Ghibli and the presentation is excellent. These beasties might be 'Lovecraftian horrors as done by Studio Ghibli'.

I really like the beadbots and vehicles too - and, above all, the sheer ingenuity with which all manner of stuff is recycled.

My son did a tribute video the other week:
