I mostly paint and hair, mostly.....

A shot of the spider being finally positioned after painting.

Using a thin Nylon Brush Hair and emulsion PVA the hairs were individually positioned on the legs. The Feelers below are the hairiest of the extremities and so were tackled first.

So far all is working well but I'm unhappy with the finish of the legs. The whiteness of the joints seems to prominent being to opaque. I have toned the white down to a more ivory colour making them more pleasing. I had the idea using thickness satin lacqure to build a thickness which will add a semi opaque translucency. I would prefer to strip the paint from the legs but the is no time and they have already been haired. Lesson learnt....
