Yes, I did all the little mouthparts you never even think about (except you, @economo.bsky.social, please yell at me by DM and then let me make it right!)
Mostly cutting up a model, although I’m starting to get experienced enough that I’m engineering from the outset, and using pieces/motifs that I’ve previously developed. Have a good sense in my head of how things will go during assembly.
Details of the leg attachments. Near the neck you can see a fourth bolt in a custom cradle waiting to secure the upper thorax. (Thank you to McMaster-Carr for making well-machined little bolts and nuts that hold everything together!) 🔩

Antastic work!
(I want to do more stuff like this, but not always sure which approach is best.)
