00bricker Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I like your bug very much! And presentation looks very professional! Good luck on lego ideas! Quote
DwalinF Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 @MaximB, @00bricker Thank you guys!@Man with a hat I'm glad you like it. Hope you find possibilities to support it Quote
JacloS_UA Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Great idea and very interesting implementation! Are you planning updates soon? If so, which ones? Perhaps stages of growth from an egg and a larva to an adult? Quote
DwalinF Posted March 25, 2020 Author Posted March 25, 2020 Thanks. I have plans to add a video with better quality. The stages is a good Idea but it doesn't fit for this bug Quote
rodiziorobs Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Incredible! The detail packed into the relatively small size--and that it opens--make it a winner. Stellar job Quote

KK3D Posted Saturday at 09:24 PM Posted Saturday at 09:24 PM This was such an amazing design. I'm so glad you put out the instructions for it. It took me a minute to find all the pieces. This is my first MOC build from another creator, and it doesn't disappoint. This should have been an official set. I plan on framing this guy, it looks so cool. The wings don't work as well for me since LEGO discontinued the light gray gear, but still worth it. I added a few pieces that did exist back when this was created, but there's no reason to deviate from this design. Quote
