Popular Post AuralEntropy Posted September 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Howdy, Here are a pair of budget giant spiders I made for my group's upcoming encounter in Thundertree (LMoP). These are rubber spiders from Party City. Bought an 8 pack with 4 different variants for $2 CAN and popped them onto 50mm Reaper bases built up with drywall spackle. Some modpodge, primer, a bit of paint and flocking, and there you go. Edited September 17, 2019 by AuralEntropy 39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disciple of Sakura Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 These are terrific. You said they were "rubber." Do they have sturdy legs, or did you have to reinforce them somehow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have sturdy legs, or did you have to reinforce them somehow? They are a springy rubber. There is no pinning. What I did was precoat the base with varnish and then I superglued the legs to the base to pose them standing (as they are cast almost flat). Once you glue them like that they are kept in place by the tension of the opposing legs and don’t move much. To add a little bit of rigidity and ensure the paint stuck I did a thin coat of Mod Podge before priming. You can see I left one front leg in the air to look like it was walking. It moves a bit when painting, but no more than a Bones plastic spear. Hope that answers your question. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
