Looking for some cheap spiders that would come somewhere between the knee and the waist of a 1/72d figure. Any suggestions? I am looking for 12, so cheap is bonus points.

I have scratch built 2 out of beads and strait pins that look pretty good, but they are slow to build.

Reaper bits service. Look in the Familiars.

Look at/around dollar stores for "bags of bugs" they usually have a bunch of spiders that would look good as giant spiders in 1/72. You'd probably have much better luck around halloween though

I second that wait for Halloween.Thats when they have the bags of creepy-crawlies out in the stores,but for me they seem to get harder to find every year.

Perhaps giant spiders for 15mm figures? Chariot made some that I use with 28mm figs.

They are about 8-9mm at their highest point.

Hey Ron I've got a smeg load here, let me measure then and see how big these really are cause I'm not 100% sure. There some from Reaper I got from Thane in his convention stock.

Thanks for the tips.

Hendrix, do you have any photos of your spiders next to some for a size comparison?

napthyme, thanks for checking on the size of those figures, a picture next to a 1/72d figure or a dime would be bonus points.

Thanks again for the help.
