Mantis Breeding program

Breed your own giant mantises in 29 easy steps! This folder is private for now, but I wanted to post it as soon as possible, and I didn't see a reason to make such a picture heavy post for something most people wouldn't want.

Anyway, the only unusual parts are the eyes. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=298c03&colorID=3 Which are control lever bases.

And the legs which are wizard's staffs from brickforge http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.php?productid=16482&cat=314&page=2

Nice usage and great that you kept a bunch of articulation

I'd change those legs though, lack of articulation

@ Dr. Nightmare, Thanks! I may change the legs for more articulation (And stability) But one of my main goals was to use those wizard's staffs as legs becuase they have such a great organic look to them. Of course the coloration is another limitation. I may have to special order click hinges in green.

@ shadows. Hmm, I can't watch the video on Internet explorer, but I can on firefox. If anyone else sees this I'd recomend listening to the video.
