I bought a shelob on ebay (hooray) but whoever made it did it all wrong. I know the model is meant to be flaying in all directions but this is just something else, it's also missing a leg. Does anyone know where i could find pictures of what leg goes where etc. It also has no base, i assume she goes on a typical troll sized base but who knows. I am considering stealing the legs from the spider queen who came with he and just using them...

You can bend the legs back into their proper positions. Don't know about the base & missing leg.

I wouldn't, because that will leave you wondering what to do with half a spider queen. I also don't think her legs (in a rather passive pose) fit the (active) Shelob pose.

If you could make a picture of the situation, it's easier for us to help you. If you still need help of course ;)

Someone on GW site (before the reboot of it), made 2 'unique' Spider Queens by using the body of one and the legs and head of the other. They do sort of fit. Though I agree that you shouldn't do it, unless you ave 2 whole models.

I think there is another thread in HwMF in which someone posted an instruction guide on how to assemble Shelob. Maybe you could check it out?

Shop around for a spider about the same size and use one of the plastic legs for the missing metal leg.

Some homemade WOTR bases.

I don't have a photo of the model you need- sorry :sad:
