This looks really awesome . Could be a tribute to the original sand-rider.

what a great idea.... beautiful work

Well done, thats the size I always imagined the great worm would be

~PlagueJester Dec 23, 2012

That's actually much too small to be a sand worm of Dune. A baby one, to be sure. The sand worms of Arrakis can eat a harvester in one gulp. A harvester has a crew of almost 30. That thing's mouth isn't large enough for two men. Much less thirty and the giant machine they rode in on.

~Uber-Stooge Dec 23, 2012

Good point. Its a worm, just not an adult. It was always a bit of a stretch for me to believe the fremen could ride the giant makers using the hooks

~PlagueJester Dec 23, 2012

You know, I've wondered that too. How can something large enough to eat a Spice Harvester have its scales peeled back by a person with a hook? You'd think the scales would be much too heavy for them.

~Uber-Stooge Dec 23, 2012

I agree. The worm would be too large to even care its scale was pulled back a few inches even if it was possible. I loved the book but the Fremen just cound not tame the adult makers.

~PlagueJester Dec 23, 2012

Ah yes, but with all of the other amazing things Frank Herbert put into that book, we must overlook such a small error.

Or maybe, there's something we're missing?

(Dun dun DUUN!)

~Uber-Stooge Dec 24, 2012

It was a minor detail and the whole concept of how it was done was a bit vague. It was just always a bit of a stretch for me. Not an error

Rides such a small worm. What a rookie.
