Green Stuff Spider Serum, well what Can I say…
I figured if there are going to be spiders in this thing then there would also be cobwebs. My initial idea was to go down the route of tumble-dryer sheets but then I stumbled on spider serum and thought, why the heck not.
Now a word of warning. If you are going to use this stuff, go outside to do it. Preferably in someone else’s garden and ideally someone you don’t like too much. To say this stuff goes everywhere is an understatement. In just a few short minutes I ended up looking like Frodo after meeting Shelob. Time to turn down the pressure on the airbrush.
So, once I got the millions of strings of cobwebs off my face and out of my hair, I set about the whole thing again, this time with a more sensible amount of air pressure and these are the results.
I have to make some egg batches and add those in. I also have some fungi to do and a few more props.
I think once I am done with this, I should have enough bits to do VSF, Pulp and Fantasy settings, plus I am already thinking of ways to expand this further.
You say sensible air pressure, did you start out at, say, 40 and drop to 12-ish? I haven’t picked up the stuff myself and have only wondered about using it.
Does it hold up to being touched after being sprayed or is it really just a fine mess that gets caught and pulled away?
I started at around 40 and then went down to about 15, although even then I was quite gentle in controlling the flow of air/serum. I would suggest that it is good for dioramas or when applied in small areas where you don’t expect to have a lot of ‘traffic’. It is also okay up against mostly flat surfaces. I think tumble dryer sheets would be more durable for larger areas or areas that will see more play. With this stuff, if you rub it with your finger as if you are trying to remove it, it will come off.… Read more »
