Watch the wings change with the light
Move around the finished mantis and its iridescent wings shift in color as they catch the light. The layered finish gives the model a different presence from every angle—and rewards a closer look.

Bring 352 metal pieces together with the included tools and illustrated guide over an estimated four-hour build. Once complete, adjust the forelegs to create an alert hunting pose or a calmer resting stance.
