Lovely job you've done with it.  How big is it, roughly?

Nah, not that one. I can't seem to find it on their web shop actually. It was on sale at half price so perhaps they were going to it bin it otherwise and it's not in the catalogue anymore?

Haha! Yeah, jammin' good with Weird and Gilly there

Get to it!!!  lol

I like the idea of having the spiders white. I am hoping to do a 50s B movie game & have stocked up on (giant) insects from Poundland & Wilkinsons (last Haloeen). They have just got to be white now. Thank you for sharing.

It has been a tradition to meet up with some friends every summer and have a game exactly 50's b movie style. We even have a 50 foot woman too.  lol


Let me just qualify that with an actual linky: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=26828.msg362419#msg362419

Just picked up a load of "joke shop" ants from The Works - in their clearance deal.
Could only see ants & cockroaches.
