Nice drop pod! I might use it as terrain rather than a drop pod though. Let's see if I can find a way to paint it without every teen's hormons going though the roof Personally I like the telescope/periscope arm, reminds me of the start of Star Wars Episode 6 (Jabba's front door): "Have we already landed?"

Im hoping to have the pricing for the pod to be around 30-35$.

My main concern is the weight (its a big model) as well as shipping.

Luckily we were able to hollow it out and multi-part it, so that should help on both accounts.

As always, guys you may want to reserve naysaying until you see a painted model (our comb-weapon kit is a case in point.

Nice month for tyranids, Tervigon and Spore Pod.

Unreal. I wish I played Nids (more) because that stuff is top notch.

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

If it breaks down so well couldn't you just use the $4.95 flat rate shipping? (serious question mind you not a poke at you)

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

That flat rate box is maybe 1.5 inches thick, and I doubt that those parts will fit in it. So we will be stuck with actual weight being a factor.

Somewhere, H.R. Giger has broke out in a sweat...

I'm glad to see other people thought what I was thinking. I especially liked where people took it further. From now on I will refer to Mycetic Spores as 'vulvapods'.

Vulvapod We are just all a bunch of kinky bastards But seriously most organic expelling systems just look like... err I better shut up now

Nice actions there Kendoka I hope you have a blast painting them for your Arachnoids

The good thing about these projects is even if they are linked bug theme wise they all were a very diferent sculpting exercise, learned a lot with these. The multipart kit, the tiny scary spiders and the invading tentacles was a good challenge and Setember just started and I'm already sculpting more projects.
