One
of the best parts about fatherhood is that you can steal your children’s toys.
For example, for Halloween my son was given a bag of plastic creepy-crawlies.
Since the spiders were obvious choking hazards (and perfect for 28mm), I
confiscated them. Of course, not wanting to make the world worse by adding more
plastic to the landfill, I decided to recycle them.
I
gave them each a very quick paint job, just a base and a couple of dry-brush
layers, and they were ready to go. Considering they are poor quality, I didn’t
spend much time on them, and they were essentially free, I think they look darn
good.
These
guys are going to be a constant menace in both Rangers of Shadow Deep and
Frostgrave!
As
for the title of the blog - did you know that the famous spider-up-the-water-spout nursery
rhyme features a different spider depending on if you are in the US or the UK?
Yup, he’s Itsy Bitsy in the US and Incy Wincy in the UK. How does that happen?
I thought you were waxing lyrical about yellow polka dot bikini's when I first read the title !!!! I'm on an economy drive are these spiders available from the larger stores or was it just a lucky find?
ReplyDeleteI think they came from Sainsburys, but really check out the pounds shops.
ReplyDeleteSpot on will have a look in Sainsburys for some.
ReplyDeleteNice or nasty depending on your view point, i too have a bag of spiders should I ever need a large giant spider army 🤔
