Side Project - Black Widow (Mass Effect)

A little side project I did for a coworker. He really wanted the black widow from Mass Effect, so I modeled, printed, and painted an 11-inch version. The wax based paint I started with didn't pan out at all, so I removed it and used acrylics. The artificial paint chipping effect was achieved by lightly painting Vaseline to the corners, then airbrushing black on top of the silver.
