Update with few more photos.

Legs coming along. Covered them with stockings from Dollar store (covered the colors really nice). Did add some spray paint.

These are the legs corpsed. I like them, but think they need a bit more.

Body and mandibles.

Mandibles which will be attached to the head/face.

Head with mandibles attached and fangs. Need to clean up mandibles once it's attached.

That is going to be one awesome spider when it is done. Can't wait to see the finished project.

I love the giant spider props - I know it is beyond my ability to store them, but they always look SO awesome.

This one breaks down pretty good. Legs come off body, so body is largest part, though legs are long.

I LOVE it! I'm also working on a giant spider. Seems to be the year of the spider.

Ok, still working on the spider. here are the latest pictures of the legs.
Also: Tutorial on how to apply hair to spider legs.

Boy you are going all out on this spider. I love the hair, definitely adds to the real look.

 

[Engineerchic]

Wow! You have a CASE of spray foam? You are hard-core

The hair is great, and getting the two-tone extensions was really smart. It adds to the dimension and gross factor.

Already reminds me of the spider in Lord of the Rings that almost eats Frodo. Looks great so far.

P.S. where are you going to put all the eyes?

Looks great, The hair is making me think of putting it on my Home Depot Gigantic spider.

P.S. where are you going to put all the eyes?

Right now I have made some extra eyes as I'm not sure the layout of them. I am thinking a row of 4 large ones top, then a smaller set of 4 below them in sort of a upside down "V" and then two smaller ones inline with the larger eyes towards side/back of head.
Thinking a cross between "Pisauridae 2" with some side/back eyes.
