Henjin_Quilones Posted April 12, 2020 Monarch Butterfly I built this butterfly for Innovalug's Style it Up contest, where the prompt was to build something, anything, that was perfectly symmetrical across a line. I was trying to come up with something cool to build for the contest, not wanting a generic car or spaceship, and my wife just said, "Easy, build a butterfly." So, to fulfill her wish, I built Danaus plexippus, better known as the Monarch, perched on a cluster of leaves. I'm fairly satisfied with the outcome, because those angles were a real bother in the wings. It should have more white spots in the black area, but LEGO plates don't go that small, and fiddling with rods isn't my thing. C & C welcome. I was not entirely sure if the Special Themes forum was the right place for it, but it seemed like the best fit of the available options. If it should go somewhere else, I hope a mod will graciously move it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peppermint_M Posted April 13, 2020 A piece of true beauty. The shaping is superb and of course the symmetry is spot on. The leaf underneath is another work of art. Thank you for sharing this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
