I'm currently working on a scratchbuilt custom Opiliones, and I need some advice on color. the center of the zoid is sand/brown with red detail and I need some suggestions for the legs.

Brown, maybe? Or gray.

You can always go with black... a black structure with sandy armor would have some pop. If you're looking for more a desert cammo look, you could do a darker brown. Another possibility would be a dark red/maroon. Any of those combos would also look great with minimal stickering- white over the dark portions and black over the sandy brown.

Not to sure what it was at first, now i now it is a spider- or sorta like the long-legged spider. ur color suggestion is fine, looks like what it has from the pics i've seen, or what maethius said is also good too. (I think my computer has a virus, moving slow. Love song playing in the background) other than that, for the legs hmmmmmmmm, perhaps look into some bionicle's joints putting them together to make the long legs, thats if u wanna spend the $$$. (there are spider type bionicles out there u can look into. as for scratch built, geh, not to sure what to say or think off, how about using those metal wires cutting them into segments and getting some of those round beads with the holes that way u can stick the wire in giving it the long slim leg look at the same time in the structure u want. ??

Thin hollow plastic tubes and bendy wire work, giving it both segments and flexibility...
