Description
This is Titus and my friends who know me will already be familiar with him. Titus is a Clockwork Dragonfly, found chewing on the rigging of the Aether Ship Persephone on the Lakshme Planum, Venus. In an effort to stop him eating the rigging, he has been since tempted onto coal from the bunkers.

Titus began life as a Flytech radio controlled dragonfly [link]
and is a fully functioning, free flying ornithopter. I stripped the original paint scheme and re-did him using water based acrylics and a technique called pooling where bright paint is dabbed into an already wet pool of darker pigment.

Paint scheme done, clockwork gears were applied to him using PVA glue, tweezers and a lot of swearing. Finally, the decals were stripped off his wings with acetone.

Titus still flies and is still fully aerobatic although he doesn't much these days as I am prissy about him losing his gears.
A closeup of his head and gears may be found here [link]
