Cockroach Group Build

This is a very interesting kit from China. Like Zoids, it is supposed a mechanical machine with the shape n inspiration from a organism: cockroach, in this case.

We decided to make it a group build and to our surprise, more than 10 joined! Not expecting so many are interested in building a cockroach XD

Ok, pictures first:







There are a few notes for this build: First, initially i really have some problem with how to display this kit. by doing it without painting n no modification, i think it is kinda plain.
In the end, decided on presenting this like an insect specimen display.

Bullshit some names n descriptions using AI, make a photo frame, do a LED strips to lit up the display, and use some elastic strings to indicate the parts.

The only thing i know i shouldnt but still cannot resist to do is to have the lights ON the cockraoch. Afterall, it is supposed to be "dead" , a specimen for display. However, it is just too tempting n i failed to resist it XD
