Trapdoor Spider Ambushes Unsuspecting Miners

#spider #scary #diorama
This week, I made another mine cross section occupied by a terrifying spider. This time round the spider in question is a trapdoor spider waiting patiently for some unfortunate miners.

They thought the mule didn't want to cross because it wasn't a solid surface. Burt had heard from his cousin that cows wouldn't cross metal grates for fear of their hooves falling in the holes and figured something similar might be in play here. Little did they know, the animal could just barely smell something, just barely hear something, something that told it death was waiting below. You live in these parts long enough, you learn to reach for your gun, any time the critters get spooked by something out of sight. It could be something normal... Or it could be something worse.

Ive been watching your channel for a while and with all the buildings you’ve made, have you ever thought about a hospital for people who survived a monster attack? Love your content.

lol people don’t survive monster attacks silly

[@lightofaangelg2372]

I guess.... Not many people would survive. But maybe a pharmacy would be more imaginable, with little mosters in the back to get antigens and all. Also pharmacies where very important in the irl old west

[@juhbellz]

[@firedrake110]

I've talked with some friends about things like this. One particularly terrible intrusive thought was post-apocalypse giant trapdoor spiders hiding out in the covered beds of pick-up trucks, just plucking you off the street for wandering too close-by

[@garrettkirkland3216]

That is such a horrifying concept but I would love to see that in a game someday

[@XeroXenTruSin]

The effect of the walkway beams casting a broken shadow over the waiting spider is such an unignoribly amazing detail... those little lights and the light painting you did went such a long way in capturing the moment before these miners realize they wont be in for a hard day of work. Immaculate work.

[@majikmindstorm]

[@prematuredgravy8033]

The hints of a spider underneath by the lights are just absolutely incredible, turned out amazing.

[@steelwendigo6118]

seeing this scenario play out in a super high-quality animation would be crazy! the spider bursting out from under the bridge, and a claustrophobic fight scene where the miners fend off claws and fangs with their rusty shovels. I imagine one of the miners lopping off one of the spider's legs, and the thing squeals, trailing blood as it backs into the dark again.

[@mcr2dcr348]

You and I have very different ideas for how that would play out. I see it like the miners are nervous, the guy leading the way stands on top of it mocking the other guy, and then get taken to the abyss leaving the horse running and the other miner shocked

[@steelwendigo6118]

@@mcr2dcr348 Now that you mention it, two shriveled old miners would never stand a chance against a beast the size of a cow that can kill prey in half a second. lol.

[@SkyWayMan90]

I love the atmosphere and use of lighting on this one. It is such a detailed, creepy setting! I think it would’ve been super cool to have some partial skeletal remains entangled in the spider’s web, and maybe even some treasure hidden down there. “The miners would come to the closed mine searching for the ancient gold, not knowing that they would end up buried right beside it” ☠️

[@Myx0mat0sis1]

One of the few moments from the cinematic masterpiece that is Eight Legged Freaks that really stuck with me is seeing people getting dragged underground by the giant trapdoor spiders. Just horrible. Love the build though ❤

I found your channel yesterday and I'm blown away by how good you are at building these models. I've watched 4 videos now I think and I love them all, but this one is my favorite. The spider looks so cool and I can almost feel the terror the miners would feel once the spider pops out of its hiding spot. The scene is very much alive, all thanks to your craftsmanship. Looking forward to check out future builds you make dude!

[@DreamwalkerFilms]

As someone that tries often to video document my craft projects and fails every time, I want you to know I appreciate what it takes to actually make a presentation like this and I commend you for it

[@elementalon2166]

Looking great as always. For your town you could maybe add a busy street with a captured monster on the back of a mule

[@Gervaj79]

And maybe a monster fighting ring right by it.

A Netflix series encompassing your creations and the universe you've built, would be so incredibly entertaining and just plain quality viewing material. Every time I watch a new diorama build adding to your wild imaginary west, I long for this universe to be a video game or streaming series. I want more. The whole wild imaginary west is such an intriguing setting.

[@EricBarbman]

Sure, a Netflix series would be amazing : there would be feminist female monster hunters with pink green hair (ethnic and sexual minority or your choice), who battles against cismale jealous monster hunters, and they are the real monsters because of their bigotry, and then there's this specially big monster that will come to destroy the small mining city, and all the males and the patriarchy have the worst ideas, everybody's going to die because they're stupid and intolerant and because they won't listen to her because she's a strong and independant woman (and a lesbian, and a minority of dark skin), but in the end she saves everyone and defeat the monster, and we learn that's the non-sustainable greed and damage to the nature by the patriarchical mining of mother earth ressources that had awoken the giant monster, which was only a legitimate defense mechanism of loving Nature, while the cismale are the real threat and evil. There. Done for you.

The Imaginary Wild West has been absolutely phenomenal so far. It was awesome seeing all the creations you've put into the world and even being able to remember some of the stories behind them. I think it really shows the diligence and care you've put into the project. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.

[@milesdugar6920]

I’m speechless, You should definitely tap into the “van meter visitor”, it’s an pterosaur like creature that was spotted in Iowa 1903 in the mid west. the monster has a great wings and a horn that glows a blinding light and was said to fly around and would reside in the mines. Reports say it loves to perch on top of roof tops, I think it would fit perfectly into your Wild West aesthetic.

[@smaug131]

Sounds like a Gypceros! I am sure the bastard steals your map of area too, and likes to play dead only to ambush you when you approach to inspect the body.

[@caesarin0]

I certainly hope you used the Luke Towan techniques to build that mine! Also, I had a fascinating idea for a building to be added to the town, perhaps some sort of forge-esque building. The way I see it, it'd be two floors, the top floor (which could have a staircase going up to it on the outside) would be living quarters. But, then on the bottom floor, half of it could be fairly open, with pillars on the corners to hold up the overhanging second floor, and all the forge equipment would be on display, or even mid-usage if you could make it like that. I think the actual enclosed half of the bottom floor could have a massive barn-esque sliding door, though it'd be closed for the model, to give the illusion like there might be more equipment or materials stored inside the building. I'm not sure how well this idea could work, but I think you could find a way to make it work very well within your world, and I'd love to hear what you think of it!

[@nox_craft]

When selecting miners for a horror diorama, it is very important you source _Doomed_ Miners. The visible details are subtle, but it's the difference between creating a realistic minecraft inspired piece and portraying a mine full of lurking unspeakable horrors the miners only recourse against to be aware of them, or if they might be getting black lung.
