Did you draw the bee from scratch or was there a CAD file already available?
Jonny is a “Scratch Man” … !!!
Your work and talent always impress me Jonny!
Looking forward to see the final result. 
unfortunately i couldnt find a suitable bee model so i had to model it although the head was taken and modified from a model.
… once again, which software did you use for that?
built entirely from www.Blender.org
The SLS print then went through a quick undercoating of color then a quick lacquer and polish…

Next up… Electro-Static FUR!
What? Not a Fire Ant? ;>)
Very realistic.

… you know the next one has to walk and fly right?
sure… lol
Take a look at the computer game “7 Days to Die”… it reminds me of a giant wasp from the game. Very well done!

Thanks CBenson and DiaLFonZo. Comments always appreciated.
I know the wasp’s you mention. lol
Its a real shame this one isnt designed to fly… that would have been a cool toy.
But the wings are on order and im hoping to receive them by end of next week.
Proposed printing material and method:
Frosted Ultra Detail are UV cured acrylic polymer that is capable of incredibly fine details.
This material is printed using the Multijet Modeling (MJM) process. Molten plastic is deposited onto an aluminum build platform in layers using several nozzles, essentially like a large print that sweeps across the build layer. As the heated material jets onto the build plate, it solidifies instantly.
After each layer is deposited, it is cured, or polymerized, by a wide area UV lamp. The next layer then applied, and through this repeated process layers of thermoplastic build up into a model. When printing is finished, we remove the models from the tray and put them into an oven that melts away the wax support material. Next, we put the models into an a ultrasonic oil bath to remove any remaining wax residues, and then a ultrasonic water bath to remove any oil on the model.
I also plan to make a mould for these so that i can make repeatable copies of them in other materials like hard clear vacuum resins and TranSil50 Clear silicone. the silicone would be a good choice as the wings would have that lighter look to them.

Wonderful work as always!
