A box with some prepared arachnid molts

Someone asked about preparing Amblypygi molts in the forums so I thought I'd show mine. Not all of them are perfect though. And I must confess - the scorpion is not a molt.
 
Can I ask how you get the abdomens reshaped and filled? I'd love to do something like this in the future myself.
 
Very nice! Those little guys at the bottom look like something from a Sci-fi novel!

I hate to be "that guy" but I'd honestly recommend using a dark cherry (or similar) wood frame for better emphasis of your display. The bright frame draws away from chromatic consistency. *hides*
 
@Eek These are standard cornell drawers for insect collection. They are sealed in a dedicated closet, not really placed outside for display.
