Technic Water Strider

A Water Strider is able to run on top of water due its ability to distribute its weight over a large area and the surface tension of the water.

 

My Lego Technic version of this amazing creature is motorised and is able to walk on land using it's long legs, and with the assistance of some extra flotation, it is also able to swim in water.

 

While this model was designed a few years ago now, it still remains as one of my favourite models that I have built.

 

This model contains 277 pieces.
