Giant Centipede ( Toob Animal) by Glitterwolf

[EvilJames]

There isn't any single creature that unman's me like a centipede. It's literally my wife's job in our household to kill them. I have no problem with spiders, rats, snakes or any other "creepy crawly." Some I might consider gross, like say a cockroach, but a roach has never made me backpedal and make undignified sounds like certain centipede encounters have. (I have gotten over this to a small degree since then at least). This is horrifying and disturbing to me and that's awesome. Great job!

On a related note, I bought a bag of Halloween rats on clearance a few years ago with a similar idea in mind. Got one done for in time for my needs, but I should finish getting the rest of them painted as well for a nice giant swarm.

Nuke it from orbit... its the only way to be sure!

 

Looks very hard shelled and sturdy.  I would not want to meet that in a dark forest

You're a real thrillseeker aren't you?

I wouldn't touch this beast with a 10 feet pole.

But would you use an eleven foot pole?

The smaller ones we have here in the Netherlands don't bother me, the Tropical ones who can be venomous do..

Thank you for your comment.

If you want to repaint a plastic toy, wash it first with lukewarm water and dish soap.

I found reaper Liner's to be great for priming these, the same as with Bones.

Don't forget to show those rats when you paint them!

Such large toys could also be repainted as statues or idols for a rat worshiping cult.

Maybe if said pole was equipped with an explosive charge.

They're only about as big as standard human mini. The one that is painted was used for a pack animal in my Pathfinder game and then as a "war dog" in my Frostgrave band. That one took brown liner very well, but I think they were made from a variety of different materials because they all reacted differently. A couple did well with brown liner or brush on primer, a couple other needed spray primer and a few other became tacky with the spray but didn't seem to like brush on either. They've been curing for a while now though so at this point I think they should all be fine. I'll be sure to show them when they are done. At the very least I'll show the first one when I get the last two goblins painted for Frostgrave.

If they don't take a primer or liner well, it may mean you need to soak them in dishwater for a while, I use an old toothbrush to scrub such minis and then rinse with cold water afterwards.

Let dry and then start lining/priming.

Most of the times this works.

 

Some plastics and resins are stubborn though.

Scenery is very realistic and I like it moving though the area. 

 

My 5 year old daughter was giving the caterpillar a voice as I was looking at the pictures. This was my simple favorite regarding the puddle.

 

 

"Yup that's gross.... going around that."

Thanks!

 

Glad your daughter had fun when looking at this!

Makes me think when wife is screaming for me to kill some bug.  If I saw life size prehistoric centipede I would just run the other way.  Nice job on mini and scenery is amazing.

I'm not to keen in meeting one for real either.
