DUNE Ornithopter

Many changes had to be made to the way House Atreides ruled the worlds under their charge. Oceans and greenery had been switched out for desert tundras and unbearable heat, in what felt like over night. Their technological might was flawed in a place such as Arrakis. Luckily there was one thing proven to work. A sport-flying vehicle designed by a political dissident nearly 17,000 years prior. The Ornithopter. Taking its inspiration from the flexibility of birds, it flaunted its skill at navigating atmospherics. This would be House Atreides first step, and hope, into regaining control.

 

This moc was originally reverse engineered and inspired by the slightly smaller Ornithopter by the amazing @bricksized on instagram! Go see the model on their page and check out the helpful instructions that are provided to help make your own!
