The idea for this bug-obsessed kid started with the minifig size magnifying glass piece - but it wasn't big enough.
I looked at how I could scale it up - a thin pulley wheel tyre and a clip bar with technic connectors seemed to do the trick.
Then i needed to make the boy to scale. The magnified eye is a 3 stud wide radar dish, where the other eye is only 2 studs wide, creating a sort of optical illusion. Lining up the shot to create the illusion was challenging but fun!Â
The hero factory plate armor makes for a perfect bug shell!
Friends have said he looks a little bit like an Aardman character and I totally agree with that sentiment.
