This is for an idea I had, wether or not it goes to production is yet to be determined.
Turn this picture into a 3D model.
Going off of dimensions from this picture, the overall length of the body would be about 1'9".
I had considered paper mache (sp), but am worried that the overall look won't quite be where I'd hope it would be. I'm looking for something cleaner, and I am right now going in the direction of an entirely metal frame type frame, using 1/4" armature wire, and using various other metals/mesh to complete the look. I had considered something using pipefittings or something, but I have a couple main issues: I don't have metal working tools, and it needs to be relatively light. So anything I can manipulate by hand, or with a set of tinsnips. Any tips for dealing with burs or sharp edges?
One possibility is to use some ducting material, and bend it as needed for the body section.
I'm concerned over a couple of key points, mainly being issues of details. I'd like to add some detail, like to the leg sections, but in general. I want it to read well, without being overly complicated. I'm not sure how much it will take to make it read like a spider.
