I modifed my model, it is now larger and has a slightly different design and color scheme...
The result is a very strange and powerful monster/ magic user...

Here is a main view...

And here are some other views...

Good piece for a spider's ars.

It is strange, cool stuff.

Wow! That's incredible! Really reminds me of a large ucky spider.... an excellent supporting magic user to your new troupe of spider fiends.

Wow you're really good at making the spider people, your arachnes are awesome. And to think that I inspired it! Great job again. I like the way you make all their legs different.

I have updated my arakne warrrior...it now uses vladek helm and armor, as

well as a car piece for the rear portion...I like how the different chrome and

red chrome parts work together in this version...

I was fortunate enough to buy two of the #8779 KK sets for $15 each, 624

parts for $30 is a good deal, considering most of them are gray...as well

as several special parts...

please tell me what you think...

Nice! I'm glad that vladek visor works as well as I thought it would. Keep up the good work on the spiders, you'll have an army of them in no time.

Ahh... the new additions look much better, actually. I prefer the Vladek helm with this fig - looks much less humanized and more "insect-like" overall, with all black.

I may be a little late in this discussion but I'm not sure if everybody noticed how the mini-fig legs (used as the upper thigh) are connected to the body of the spider. Hes used minifig hands to clip the legs to the torso. Very nicely done. I have a feeling I may just have a spider warrior or two in the near future. Or perhaps a scorpion warrior hmmm I wonder........

Yes I noticed that, good eye.

Boses you should name Vladek version Black Widow , Black Widow Knight Spider or Black Widow Maker. Oh well, good job. I'll have to try making one.

Great idea! This would work well with a scorpian, you would only have to account for a tail... oh, and the two pincers. It would fit right in with the KK2 theme we all know and love. I would really like to see such a creation...

Thank you very much for the response thus far...

I am going to get to work on a scorpion-warrior...

The only real hurdle is to decide how much is scorpion and how much is

human, I may have to think this one over for a while... But you can expect at

least a prototype very soon...

I was going to comment that there were only six legs, whereas spiders have eight. Then I realized that the torso arms make up limbs #7 and #8. Good attention to detail on that!!
