Arthropods of the Wasteland

I'm of the opinion that you can't have too many vermin for your games. Many years ago, I picked up these Reaper Bones scorpions:

My 3D printer has churned out a swarm of giant ants and a hive entrance (from Imitation of Life):


I'm conscious that all my stuff recently has been rusty browns, so I went for green. A pretty sloppy highlight to tone down the very saturated Army Painter Orc Flesh, and dot in the eyes and jaws.

When I was a vulnerable lad, the TV advert below was somewhat formative. I'm sure Aussie males of a certain age will agree!

Sic 'em, Rex!

    1. I do like the scorpions. I'll have to print more at some stage.

    1. It's a bit of a hobby-within-a-hobby, but it is a real gamechanger.

  3. That ad is... It's something all right 😆

    Good chitinous horde there, the ants are impressive... And I guess you can pretty much have as many as you like 😮

  5. Barks, one of these days you are going to inspire me into getting a 3d printer.
    I must add that I love the way you're staging these models.

    1. They are not headache-free... But feel free to contact me anytime.

      I do like atmospheric or in-use shots. I am saddened by overhead, uncropped, zoomed-out shots on a workbench.
