Well if you've been in the Warhammer Fantasy section of this fine forum, you may have seen the idea thread that started this silly project. Here are the pictures of the finished construction.











The main challenge was attempting to try to make it look a bit more than a giant spider with a cannon stuck to its back sadly that's exactly what it is so I did my best. I tried to go for a crawling look to the spider with the wood its usually perched on serving as a goblin manned barricade with a small Skaven watch Tower that the Spider is about to burst through, or scurry over. I must say this project has made me fall in love with the Forest goblins, and I think some co-projects of mashing them with my Skaven army may just be in order here. Now this thing is one nightmare of a painting project, and for that most ofthis stuff is "soft glued", I used a very thin GW plastic glue so I can easily just pop things off to paint then simply place them back of, but some parts of this spider will just be rough, and of course to ad difficulty I want to try out a bunch f the new GW technical paints. So expect a painting update by Saturday.

Didn't think you would actually do it. Impressive job though!

Same here haha. It's massive! Looks good

Looks great, bustling with activity and noise as any Skaven model should be. Can't wait to see it painted.

Well I'm glad to see riveting confidence, though I will say I had to take a small break for finals between the drafting of the idea and the creation of the thing.

Thanks a lot, there's a lot of little details that the paint will help to bring out in the model assuming I take my time. If you guys want more I'm planning on doing a lot of projects in the next few days including a few Skaven Jezzail conversions, A warlord on a bone breaker conversion, and even a Warlord on a war-litter conversion.
