I bet it's a winner. How did you form those legs/pincers?

Aha! Gotta buncha Congo Hair right on the bench sitting alongside Loon UV Thick and a light.  But I never thought about marrying them!  Thanks for the tip.

Honestly, it worked but I'm going to play around with craft fur and zonker strips.  Thinking they may take form a bit easier with the UV as they are less stiff than the Congo Hair.

That's good feedback. Thanks!  I can picture what you're talking about.  Makes me wonder about knotting craft fur like is done for hopper legs and such. Might make it even easier to form.

Zonker is definitely a lil easier but needs a lil more thickness.  I'll keep playing.....

That's looking really good. Keep up the experiments.  I once tried Softex (if I remember the name right) to stiffen hair. But in pretty short order it let go of the hair.  Adherence wasn't good with much flexing.
