Lady-K Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi everyone! I got back into making tiny riker mounts for an upcoming non-miniatures show. Basically I agreed to take over a table at a reptile expo for someone who found out they can't make it, and part of the deal is that I can bring some of my "relevant" miniatures with me. This should be a nice adventure. Anyway, the show isn't for a few months, so the first batch or two of my new riker mounts are being posted for sale online. While I do plan on posting individual and small sets of these tiny riker mounts - Here is one large set including all of the insects I currently have available in miniature. Up for auction on eBay; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dollhouse-Miniature-Riker-Mount-Butterfly-Displays-Large-Artist-Made-Set-/281574544402 What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Very nice. Our eldest son invested in several to display the currency and other items he collected from his various duty tours during his military career. Did you make your insects and arachnid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady-K Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks guys. Holly, all the insects/arachnids start off as photographs of the real things, but yes I made every part of these. My brother is the source of these bugs, he has a whole Facebook page of entomology work if you'd like to see some of it; https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nathan-Lefort/667222623368680 The Goliath Bird-Eating Tarantula in the set I posted is actually a tiny replica of one of his "late" pets. That giant spider will never be forgotten. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Your brother has some gorgeous specimens. It sounds like he acquired one of Aragog's offspring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady-K Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah, having a brother who is really into entomology has really brought some of the weird stuff from Harry Potter home. (Which is odd, since he never got into the books or the movies). In the Goblet of Fire movie, that scene where the kids are taught about the Unforgivable curses, I thought those weird spider things were made up CGI creatures - Nope, those creepy things are real. We had a couple walking around here once. Tail-less whip scorpions, perfectly harmless to humans, but they sure don't look it. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
