Spideranne's MM Spider

[spideranne]

Well, go figure, I made a spider. I don't have one and I've wanted to make one for a while so when this contest came up I figured why not. This is my first attempt at MM and the first time I've done LED's. Definitely learned some things along the way, but all in all I'm pretty happy with it.

He's about 27 in tall.

Awesome spider! I like the eyes! The black light picture is the best!

[dave the dead]

Cool spider....I agree that the blacklight picture rocks! Are you going to alternate the light on him in your display?

[widowsbluff]

Great work, the night shots are awsome

Great job to start with, but the black really makes it even better. Nice.

[MistressOfMayhem]

That's one big ass narly spider - love it!

[berzerkmonkey]

Nice! Not what I expected from a MM entry. You wouldn't happen to be doing a "How To" for this, would you? My wife wants a large spider and I really don't have time to sit down and figure out how to go about one (not that it would be really hard, but I've got the cemetery to do...)

[pyro]

[pyro]

[spideranne]

Thanks everyone. I had a great time making it even if I did want to pull my hair out every now and again.

Berzerkmonkey - no how to, I don't have a web site or anywhere to put one. My photobucket link has pictures of most of steps in the making, when I remembered to grab the camera. I somewhat winged it along the way.

[Sickie Ickie]

That blacklight pic is pretty frickin' cool!

[Haunted Bayou]

Kewl! I love the detailing around the eyes and they way it has texture when it glows in the dark.
Great job.

[edwood saucer]

Spiders are just wrong...

That being said - it's creepy cool. The blacklight pic is freakin awesome.

Great job.
