11 Little Spider Robot
What I have yet to mention, my friend's a major fan of the Adeptus Mechanicus and one fine day while researching for builds I have found this here video:

It featured an awesome Adeptus Mechanicus army with some scratch-built figures. What I really liked were the spiderbots.
I recently acquired a Proxxon Micro Woodturning Lathe that's also compatible with plastics and figured it'd be a good way to try it out.
I lathed the body out of POM (Polyoxymethylene, also known as Delrin, Celcon or Hostaform) and glued the legs together from 1.5mm Styrene strips. With a bit of Green Stuff for finishing touches I was good to go.
My frequently-mentioned friend liked it so much that I'll be making a few more leg options and finally end up making a mold to mass-produce those little bots.
The body itself is roughly 1x2cm's, the legs included it's about 3x2cm, so it'd need a 40mm base (if used with a base).
