Shelob & Stranger Things

Arachnophobic? Cmon… Shelob is adorable!
And she wants you… yes YOU… to click on in!
Look at the wittle Forest Gobbos piggy back riding on the spider!

Taken from full post here:

Hey buddies, Im happy to announce the arrival of the Spider Queen herself…


picture

In the Old Forest… an ancient evil has come. All the way from the pass of Cirith Ungol, in the Dark Lands of Mordor, a many legged Goddess of Darkness has come to find creatures to feed upon. But the Old Forest is not her final destination. Where is she heading to?

picture

Shelob is on the search for new food. Mordor is a nice place and all, but alot of the best restaurants in Middle Earth dont deliver there and the local dives are kinda samey. But Shelob has heard of the Shire and its inhabitants… the plump and scrumptious Hobbits. Plus Sauron has been putting out a reward for some Hobbit called Baggins. So if the Shire doesnt provide food delivery, Shelob is coming to feast! And get some rewards from the Dark Lord too!

Once a long time ago, when Shelob was a young and rebellious teenager, she did visit the Misty Mountains and all the Frost Giants came out and gave her a hard time. They thought she might be a tasty treat herself. She showed them that their bad neighborhood is nothing compared to The Dark Lands and proceeded to hand out ass-whoopins – Mordor style! Then proceeded to give the Hill Giants gang… and the Fire Giant gang a beatdown too!

The Giants never forgot her and the Fire Giant King, Snurre Ironbelly, wanted to make her an honorary member of their gang – the Spider Queen of the Barrio. Instead, she went looking for some gang of Northern Dragons to bully. Some say, those Giants want to make a comeback. But who will fight…. G-1-2-3 "Against The Giants"?

That is a great paint job on a pretty intimidating looking model. I'm about to start on a Carnosaur and I've been putting it off because it is so big and I don't want to screw it up.

First thing she'd do,eat those guys on her back.

Thanks buddies!

Royal Liz,
Carnosaur aint got nothin on Arachnarok! GW did a great job, but this was a tough model to put together. That howdah took so many dry runs to get right. Like I told Terrement in his pm, putting her together was like child birth, it hurt, but I love my new spider child! Of course, once you got one down, I suppose the next time is easier. But yeah, my advice to putting together complex models is lots of dry runs and fittings. I bet some "real" model people are laughing at me though. Hey, Im not a airplane/aircraft carrier model guy!

Hafen von Schlockenberg,
Sure she can! And she does on occassion… when she needs refueling and no gas stations are nearby.

I love the model but you're not the first one to complain about the difficulty of assembly. That (and the cost) has put me off buying it so far.

Great paint job!
