Happy the 28 dorsal torpedo hatches open with visible payload, as well as 36 hinging port, starboard, and forward tubes. Lots of work designing with 1x1 and 1x2 tiles to get details and functionality that won't crumble.

The render module in CAD really helped validate the design/appearance

My white whale is finding and picking up a camel spider though. I need to find one of those fuzzy goobers and they're hard to track down unless I get up super early and trek around at night with a flashlight and go tapetum shinies hunting.

And some tidepool things and birdwatching in a snowy plover area

Caught an adorable crab mate-guarding when I was on a restricted-access beach. I was unsuccessful in finding any ligia sp. though

Also millipedes! Like jumping spiders, they always make my day }:3

I also had a bunch of other firsts. Picked up a tarantula spiderling and a local cricket species. Picked up a lil scorpion and caught an awesome photo of a black widow who caught herself a scorpion meal (NOT the scorpion I found!)

There are torpedo and missile hatches forward, starboard/port, and dorsal. Those little deets were really fun to design in in. Same for utilizing axle bricks and translucent yellow bricks (I wish I could easily incorporate internal lighting). Just lots of fun details to work on!

2026 will bring a 40k angry nuns transport/logistics ship and a grackle barge. I've already designed the sororitas ship and need to order the bricks to get it started. The fortress prow opens up to a flight deck for drop-cathedrals :) Sneaki peeki

Not sure if I will release or sell plans on rebrickable because these builds aren't particularly strong and fragile to put together.

You keep Falcodaddy away from the L-train!

I mean... you would throw in deep cuts on macro art and other fandom references in your vids for years. Furtrash recognizes furtrash.

"Uppies--give to me pls"

Also I wish you the best of luck on this endeavor! I'd love to see wonderful anatomical models of critters like hallucigenia and anomalocaris proliferate populate desks all over the world. The Cambrian needs way more love.

Do you have a storefront somewhere? I'd be absolutely interested in boomarking and checking periodically. Yeah the general use gray resin is pretty brittle, I've had some unrelated resin model kits break in the past during builds and cyanoacrylate glue doesn't work too well.

Or if you're open to printing another and shipping it due to concerns about STL proliferation, I'd be happy to purchase a print? It's just reaaaally cool to see a reconstructed trilobite and I'm excite. I never really seen the underside of a trilobite outside of some 3D renders from scans

Do you have an STL for this? This might be enough to push me over the edge to buy a small resin printer. I have a hollardops specimen preserved in matrix but having a physical model that isn't a delicate fossil with full on leggies would be awesome.

Obligatory trilobite tax:

Essentially this four-panel after Twitter turned to Xhitter, except we have moderation tools and won't be forced to engage by Xenon Husk changing rules to embolden trolls.
