Does anyone make anything like District 9 Prawn models?

I'm looking for something along the lines of the District 9 Prawns to use as Vespids on my Tau army. I think it would fit in well, and the Vespid models are terrible. I know there are a lot of great Indie companies like Chapterhouse that make some alternate GW miniatures and conversion kits, so I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea about this particular piece of Sci-Fi. Thanks.

Some of Infinity's Combined Army models look like they would be acceptable Prawn stand-ins if you paint them accordingly and maybe give them face tentacles:

Now there's something I would like to sculpt as a pet project, if only time allowed me to do that.

If you don't mind the scale Ground Zero Games has some 15mm race called crustys that look like the prawns.

Yes, AT-43 Cogs are perfect.

Hmm, maybe I'll use Vespid bodies with COG heads.

I was about to say, those COG have great heads but their bodies are a bit thin. This sounds like a really interesting conversion though. Mind putting up some pics when you're done?

I thought his grip on the weapons was a little odd - but then I noticed they have TWO opposable digits on each hand.
