Building a life sized object entered my to-do list sometime during the construction of the Blue Crown Castle siege, that it was to be a microscope followed quickly after. Microscopes are wonderful instruments! From the most advanced electron microscope to the most 'simple' instrument (like this one). They are the telescopes that peer into the universe below.
This was the most technically challenging thing I ever built. I do find it a bit lacking in aesthetics, but the lighting makes up for it, I think. I started this build before the MOC Olympics, and put it aside during the contest - except for the occasional brick scavenging... Now that it is done I can throw myself fully into MELO!

This is the grasshopper's eye after my black widow sucked out all the juice. I'm always amazed by the perfect circles that nature creates on such a small level.
