exellent piece of sculpting and quite a complex subject but you are doing a great job with it, what are you using, Supersculpey ?

Steve

Thanks.This is a local brand, but comparable with Supersculpey.It doesn't have it's flaws though(Translucency etc)

These are the basic parts ready for casting.The spiderlegg comes 6x.Still have to do a bunch of tentacles and fleshpieces.

First Build-up test(with only 1 spiderleg instead of 6)

With some plastic sprue I detailed the kit and gave it a dark red basecoat.I hope the sprues will hold during the paintjob :?

Extremely creepy Jiver. A very disturbing image, but beautifully executed.

I really the the depth and the shadows you've created. This will be a very interesting figure... one of my favorite movies too... thanks so much sharing your work.
