Looks great! Any chance we get a quick tutorial for that purple worms? 1. Make the Form. You want a vaguely Purple Worm shape. I used Alluminum foil, and it almost doesn't matter what you use, since you cover it up entirely. Some thing inexpensive capable of holding it's form is all that's required. 2. Make the Mouth. The teeth are formed from hot glue. Start with a bead of hot glue on the outer edge and draw it into a tear/tooth shape. Do this and rotate the model until you have a full mouth of teeth. 3. Make the Rings. Start by making a ring around the teeth, touching the roots of the teeth. Continue making rings adjacent to the last ring you made until you have made it all the way down to the base. If you are anything like me, the rings will kind of devolve into a spiral . 4. Paint it. Paint the whole thing one color. Once that's dry, Dry Brush the whole thing with a lighter version of same color.. When that is dry, paint the teeth in an even ligher color.

This one has some arms off of a dollar store toy, and a spine that was formerly a plastic toy snake. The rest of him is alluminum foil, toothpicks, hot glue, and half round beads. Click on the Images to Enlarge

Look good! Need more details? I want to make these! here are some I made a while ago (using DM Scotty's Stirge video). I have some on tall, medium and short stands and a few with two on one base. They are actually coloured more red, but in the pics they look orange).

Look good! Need more details? I want to make these! Started with Tibetan Silver Moth Charms Pendants, they cost me less than a dollar on Ebay I put a toothpick through the hole, pointing down, at an angle, and superglued them in place. When the glue dried I clipped the excess toothpick. Then glued a 3mm half round bead, again available for under a dollar on Ebay, to form the head and cover up the top of the toothpick. The base is about an inch of scrap plastic rod hotglued to a penny. Pennies are cheaper than washers, and closer in size the appropriately sized 20mm base.

You might even make a few stirge swarms by glueing several of them in different positions together...
