When I went into my gaming room this morning I got rather a fright. There was a rather large spider impaled on Aragorn's sword! Three possibilities presented themselves:
1) Said spider jumped from great height and impaled itself on sword (thereby accidentally killing itself)
2) Spider died and fell onto sword
3) My models come alive at night and get up to mischief.
You see the photos and decide:
They definitely come alive, it's the only reasonable explanation. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul. I came to the same conclusion. Crazy eh!
DeleteWOW! That things about as big as the giant spider models I have, so scale is bang on ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely a roaming/hunting spider, I think its a nurseryweb (Dolomedes sp) spider, though I cant imagine it jumping and landing in that position - I am more inclined to think its fallen from the ceiling... scary though in itself - don't look up! ;-)
Thanks Scott for the name. Will look it up. Scale is good isn't it, should mount it on a base and use it for Mirkwood scenarios really.
DeleteGood lord that's a big spider for inside the house. How big are your mosquitoes?
ReplyDeleteThe spider's last thoughts were "What are the odds...ugh!"
Tis the wilds of suburban NZ Monty! Though we ain't got nothing on US wildlife.
DeleteThat is an impressively large spider good thing Aragorn took care of it for you.
ReplyDeleteYes will see what else he can take care of now.
DeleteWow what are the chances! Great post Dan.
ReplyDeleteCrikey! my missus would of had a fit killed by Aragorn or not!
