Well done, that man.
I have thousands of those little rawlplug swine cluttering up my toolbox.
I might go for the centipede look.

I think we use the term molly bolts, but I usually think of the toggle bolts that expand at the back/behind the hole.

Damn impressive; missed seeing them on the first look.

It's something with photobucket, I'll repost them in a few weeks when I get back from my holiday. Thanks for reminding me.

Cool they're visible now. Very nice.  :D

Any chance of a list of what you built it from?

Sure.  :)

Feet: GW paint bottle lids.
Legs: Different kinds of rawlplugs.
Tubes from the main body to the legs: Skewers.
Main body Upper part: A styrofoam ball, cut in half.
Main body Lower part: Skewer bottle lid.
Raised metal area on main body: Just some cut paper.
Eyes: Plastic base parts of figures from the Doctor Who Adventures magazine that I still had lying around.

I don't know if this list is any help, because I just took some random components from my own stuff, but anyway thanks for your comment. :)

Cheers, that's genius. I was just curious due to vaguely recognising various parts. The feet in particular.  lol

Again, great job.
