I was inspired by this Feng Zhu sketch of the grasshopper. I find it bit mechanical, and I like the form of it. I wanted to go a bit further and to create a very detailed spaceship or more mechanical thing.

So I started modeling it in Sketchup.

Start

Main body

Folding “wings”

Expanding and rotating “leg”

Front entrance

Insides, 3 floors

More details on front

Turret on head…
