Ataraxis
I'm pleased to release Ataraxis from the LEGO shipyard. At four months of (weekend) construction, this is the most time I've invested in any creation, and one of my favorites.
The shaping was inspired by a terrific sketch from Jim Francis, and then I started working geometry. It was a blast to design: the wing stripes are stair-stepped with 1.5 plate offsets, there are 9 jogs in angle from top plane down to either edge, it utilizes a zillion nifty 53° slopes, and so forth...
Along the way I made some improvements suggested by Zach, Brendan, and Rob. Thanks, guys!
(I'll create a build video in the future, but am feeling a bit daunted.)
