Mechanical Arachnid

Box

A bit of a work in progress, it's been through several iterations so far and a long way to go.
Hopefully it will eventually become a real thing about 1 metre across. I'm not intending it to function but it should all work and be manually poseable.

Not sure what impresses me more , your modeling skills or your imagination ! Not enough bravos to do it justice. Did I mention I hate spiders?

I can assure you don't want to be inside my head.

Here's an earlier attempt at working out how all the legs should work, just needs a dolls head and you've got the creepy one from toy story.

That's just yummy. Steampunkish

Wow! Very cool!

Thanks Gents.

Not quite steampunk, not enough fripperies for that, more sci fi/terminator/robot wars type of thing. Can't decide if the 'fangs' should be guns or nasty implements rather than just bighty things.

Extremely sharp and a great subject imho. I have some recent immigrants from europe in my kitchen. Fake widow spider which are related the the black variety but less harmful with a bite similar to a wasp or bee sting. Spiders are very useful keeping flying bugs under control so I like to protect mine.
