As inspired by gloriousbattle here, I went to wal-marx and found the rubber-ball spiders he mentioned. They were amazingly cool, so I got some.

Materials:
-Spiderballs
-Those ear probe things from the doctor
-tinfoil
-Legs from a Reaper Miniatures spider-demon (thus disqualifying me from the Dollar-Store part of the contest if we were having said contest)

I'm not satisfied with them. What do they need?

A laser on the top of their spider-domes!

The other things I've had suggested are antennae (sewing pins pushed through the rubber to meet like cybernetic antennae in the spider's heads), fins on the back (I think I agree) and chin-guns (I also think I agree).

Those are pretty fantastic already but how about some pincers?

I'm a great fan of simplicity, so I think they look quite nice as-is. I might carefully black-wash over the metal parts, being cautious not to get any on the ball.

Rivets.

I agree with Chairface. Rivets, but on bits window frame. Glue thin strips of plastic card/glossy magazine cover with rivets pressed into from the reverse side. It would make the ball look more like a glass cage?

I think they just need a bit of paint.

Yes!

Rivets.

And Yes!

What sort of size are they? I'm guessing about 2-3 inches long?

I'm sorely tempted to call them done as they are, though I did embed an MP-40 in their chins.

Froggy, they look great as is. Don't worry about making changes. You asked, that all.

Agreed, these are very cool. I am happy to have helped inspire them, even if the proposed contest went nowhere.
