Build A Mechanical Hunter In Violet
Create a praying mantis with blade-like forelegs, translucent violet wings and visible linkage gears. Pose it on its stand or choose the Remote Control Version for powered crawling. The video features both the mantis and spider; motorised movement requires the Remote Control Version.
Explore The Mantis's Articulated Details
The raised body and long forelegs leave the mechanical structure in view. Violet wings contrast with the metallic-coloured frame, while movable joints let you shape the finished display.
Blade-Like Forelegs
Assemble the hooked forelegs around exposed joints and linkages. Adjust their position to give the mantis a raised hunting stance.
Translucent Violet Wings
The long violet wing panels extend above the mechanical body. Their translucent finish and printed patterns contrast with the pale frame and blue accents.
