From Wikipedia:
The Ulysses butterfly (Papilio ulysses), also known as the blue mountain butterfly, is a large Australian swallowtail. The Ulysses butterfly has a wingspan of about 14 cm (5.5 inches). It lives in northeastern Australia along the coast of Queensland. It inhabits tropical rainforest areas and suburban gardens. The Ulysses butterfly's favourite food plant is euodia (Melicope elleryana), a tree with clusters of small pink flowers growing straight out of the branches. The upperside the wings are an iridescent electric blue; the underside is a more subdued black and brown in colouration. The colours are produced by the microscopic structure of the scales.
The female of the species differs from the male in that she has little crescents of blue in the black sections of her hind wings. When the butterfly is perched the intense blue of its wings is hidden, helping it to blend in with its surroundings. When in flight the butterfly can be seen hundreds of metres away as sudden bright blue flashes. This butterfly is used as an emblem for Queensland tourism.
Ulysses Klaw - Age Of Ultron (Lego Purist)
Marvel Theme
Please Credit and consider commenting if you fave! Thanks!
Always thought the LEGO version was a bit lack luster and I wanted to make my own using purist methods for a while but didn’t have the parts so I decided I would make him going full custom.
I based the design off a marvel legends action figure( I just used a darker blue color) in which he had more of a suit on with the gun arm which I rlly wanted to try out. Overall I’m pretty happy w what I’ve made
Leider ist die Ulysses inzwischen wieder "eingepackt" aber nichts desto trotz ein sehr beeindruckendes Schiff.
My last upload before I go back to school for 4 more weeks. Ill be posting less, although I have enough of these 'black series' photos to last the week XD My final custom (Andy from little Britain), should be uploaded before Saturday. I'll still be active within the community, just wont be posting as much as usual.
Scales of a Papilio Ulysses Scales butterfly. Highly reflective scales, lighting is challenging. Blue also doesn't help, RGGB sensors are rather insensitive to blue light. I think I did nail it.

Mosaic of Ulysses tied to the mast of a ship to resist the songs of the Sirens, from Dougga.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and forever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
I should have put another book beside for scale to illustrate the heft of this very coffee table book.
