Hey right on JC, those Big Insect Legs, I just had to ahem, how shall we
say, Rock them! When I was building the GG Mech, I was playing around with
them on the Feet section, but I also thought they would be cool if they
could be used as part of a wing structure. Like one of the webs in a Bat's
wing. So I hope to try it sometime.
The head at first looked really weird. I had to re-do it's position and
rebuild the back of it. I almost opted to not add the Technic fig so the
head would have been more stream lined if it carried a minifig instead. I
also had to use that Technic fig since it was Red and has been wandering
around my collection for too long. It needed a Home.
Lastly, I wanted to mention that I was or wanted to make the tail bendy and
segmented. But I went for the Stubby stinger look.
BTW, the wings when used like that are really easy to mount on a Cam and
motorize the flapping motion. Try it sometime.
