Steampunkesque Dragonfly

I finally after a long pause got to finish this one. It has many problems with the movable parts, but it looks not half bad despite that. I especially like how the mechanism for the tail worked out. And the hinges for the legs aren't that bad either, but they can be improved.
The head is movable to, though not the way I wanted it to be moved. Thus it just means that the head is removable
The wings were meant to flatter when moving the gears, but paper is just to flimsy to move a whole wing only connected to the gears by a 2mm thick and wide strap of paper.
This project in the end turned out to show me how filigree dragonflies really are.
In this project wanted to combine the fine details enabled by simple 2D Scherenschnitte with the three dimensions possible with normal papercraft.
