How can I build an accurate model of a scorpion?

You could use polymer clay (brand names are sculpey or fimo) which you can bake in an oven. Or you can use airdry clays. Air dry clays don't need baking, but are less sturdy than polymer clay. You probably could make a scorpion also out of toothpicks and paper mache or you could make an origami one: a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQtRTPEQblw" rel="nofollow"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQtRTPEQb…/a (a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=origami+scorpion," rel="nofollow"http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=ch…/a a href="http://freepapermodels.freehostia.com/2009/01/31/scorpion-papermodel/)" rel="nofollow"http://freepapermodels.freehostia.com/20…/a
