Following up my last instructable, "How To Make Glue Bugs", this sequel shows how to expand the scope and size of glue critters.  Basically the same tools are used, it's just a matter of scale and a few parts that are different, the wings for example.  I was able to obtain exposed x-ray film to use for black wings, or even paint them for other colored wings as shown.  Several different 'monsters' are shown, and techniques suggested.

When you say that  "This wing is also black x-ray film, but has been primed with a lighter color" -- what type of paint or product do you use that will adhere to the xray film?

And I thought the bugs were cool! I didn't even think about the possibilities of this method! Really great job on these. My fav is 10th picture of the last step. The wings are clear-ish.
