Today was the day I fought Spidicules. I decided to painstakingly (and rather impatiently) re-joint all legs and fingers, so that he stands much more naturally.
Re-jointed fingers on the left, original on the right.
To give the illusion of being suspended and allow the survivors to stand underneath, I mounted the model onto a clear, 4×4 acrylic plinth. The body has a small pin holding it up, along with the feelers. Nothing is glued in place yet, so I can paint easily later.
The plinth was a custom order by Yaros over at http://hoverstand.co.uk
– 70mm long x 70mm wide x 55mm high
– 3mm thick laser polished edges
– Made from transparent acrylic (transmits 92% of all visible light, even better than glass)
– Cost around a tenner and arrived in about a week (UK)
Great idea with the acrylic
Do you have any more pictures of the build? Does the survivors fit underneath?
Looks great! Would love to get som additional pictures as well, and/or some tips and tricks on how you did it.
