Odds and Ends

 I've finished a few more things, mostly quick jobs between other figures.

First up is a Huge Spiny Pedipalp from Mortal Arrow Miniatures, one of several giant arachnid miniatures I have from them. This is a fairly fanciful version of an amblypygid -  a type of tropical arachnid also known as a whipspider or false whip-scorpion. They mostly live under leaf litter and tree bark eating smaller insects. Almost all of them, in the real world, have a dark grayish black body with brown or black legs; I decided on something a little more spectacular, and gave the back and claws a few coats of TurboDork colorshift metallic "Let Them Eat Cake." The pictures don't show it well but it shifts from blue to magenta depending on how the light hits it.


 

Van Damme for scale


This is actually the smallest of my Mortal Arrow bugs; it came with a 50mm base that I think I repurposed for another miniature, and it's now on a 40mm Renedra round. 

Additionally, I knocked out an electrical transformer from Oshiro Model Terrain. This is a single piece resin casting, painted almost entirely with cheap craft paints and gussied up with some graffiti decals from Green Stuff World. 




I think I did the entire thing in a little over one painting session, and I'm pretty pleased with it. Nice piece of scatter to add to the modern terrain collection.
