Number: IST_002
Number of Pieces: 90
Difficulty Rating: 2
The first step is to create the body of the beetle. This is fairly straightforward. The first 2 clear yellow pieces are initially held in place with one brick. When the next layer is added, the clear yellow bricks are held in place by a bunch more bricks.
The next step is to build the pincers. These are chains of bricks that are somewhat posable. It is a bit difficult to pose the pincers to get them posed correctly.
The other section is the legs of the beetle. A stack of clear bricks is built. each leg is a chain of bricks which means the legs are fully posable.
Things I liked:
- I like how the details of the clear bricks throughout the build
Things I didn’t like:
- I find trying to pose the pincers and legs to be very difficult to get the things to look right
