    Being an artist is the most beautiful thing I know. You had a giant caterpillar in your head and said “no, this needs to be out here in my hands so I can show it to people” and then you just did that. Incredible.

    You should add lore to this: megalepidoptera is a genus of proto Lepidoptera that is found from the late Carboniferous to the late Permian, they are the ancestors of moths, and butterflies. A genus of them includes the first fossil of one called megalithus, the one featured in this video *AKA it’s larval form* another genus features the biggest one in this genus, megalepiro.

    You can increase the tolerances in your modelling software, so things don't fit that crazy tight. When curing, resin tends to shrink, but not uniformly, so you can't rely on that. I would also sand a bit the parts that need to slide on one another if i see it requires too much force.
