Venomcrawler Glam-Up for GamesWorkshop Painting Contest – Step by Step Guide
Completing the spooder (my nickname for spiders. Yes I know its technically not a spider, and blame my students for mispronouncing “spider”) was difficult but given that it was in the realm of chaos, I was given some leeway with my mistakes.

“Hard days are the best because that’s when Champions are made.” -Gabby Douglas

Bubblegum’s Tenacious Journey Comes to an End
