scarovich Posted January 28, 2023 This project began life as a kinetic sculpture attempting to simulate the unique wing movement of a hummingbird as it hovers. I used transparent parts to recreate the shimmer of the Violet-Crowned Woodnymph as it flies and did my best to accurately portray the bird's wing movement when it hovers.. The bird can be displayed on or off the kinetic gearing, atop the basket handle or on its own.

A_Forest_of_Lego Posted January 28, 2023 One of the most beautiful Lego designs I have seen for sure! The movement of the wings looks so real! I was already supporting it on Lego Ideas, it definitely deserves 10000 votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, replicating the Colibri automation is what I was going for on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
