WIP Dune Fremen Ornithopter landed - a photo on Flickriver

            Some progress on  my Dune Fremen Ornithopter

Extended the wings to a size that looks better(thought still not movie accurate). designed for the new ornithopter wings to replace the helicopter rotors currently in place.

Finally found a good way to make the doors open like in the movie, rather than going the easy route and using the yellow bubble piece's hinge and them oopening outward.

Currently in the process of figuring out how to elegantly add a grey flex tube around the front of the canopy.

Still haven't decided how i want to do the tail or even more importantly, the core and wing attachment mechanism. no space for a flapping mechanism, but i have hope for a synchonized folding mechanism similar to the Atreides orni set.
This will probably require some physical testing, which requires me to sort my technic pieces. So this MOC won't be finished anytime soon, but i try to make progress where i can.
