I added a bit more color. I'm thinking that part of his legs are beginning to look bare...

Looks pretty cool. It needs pincers though... every good spider has them. It's a very clean looking model. Good work.

Thanks for the words Mhcannon. Yes, I think you're right about the pincers. I'll add them on too. It isn't a spider without some to bite with user added image

It's been a while, and I haven't had much time to work on this. Made some really small changes. Can you find them?
