So I made these guys a while back out of Durham's water putty, using a press mold from an original. The mouse is a Reaper Mousling (Tonsure), from SWMBO's collection. The rock and wall were made using the same technique. More detailed bugs would be possible, but I was trying to avoid "icky" to go with the Mousling aesthetic.

This is pure gold - I'll absolutely use the idea of a giant bug livestock for my underdark campaign. Thanks a lot!

The pun 'buggalo' doesn't work in German, but I'll definitely paint them like cows. It's simply too funny not to.

If someone tells you that you have enough craft suplies and you don't need anymore, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Love the "Herbie" bug. Wonder how many folks here are old enough to recognize it?... Cheers!

Laughter is the ultimate expression of joy. Laughing at the antics of a 2-year-old child is not demeaning or degrading, it is your heart boiling over with joy, and laughter is the path of least resistance for it to escape! Let it out, laugh easy, laugh loudly, laugh as often as you can. Keeping it bottled up inside is a leading cause of stroke among uptight people around the Globe... Laughter is contagious -- let's start a new pandemic!
