Adjustable Cheetah Model

Hello everyone!

With this build I wanted to prove that mother nature and evolution are the best engineers. The cheetah is highly specialised to reach very high speeds (up to 105 km/h!!) by being much lighter and more agile than other large cats. I recreated every joint the cheetah has to simulate the movement as good as possible. The back is made out of tread link parts to imitate the flexible back of the cheetah. It's tail helps it to maintain stability while running at top speed.

All these elements combined make it the perfect mechanism nature has developed and that's why I submitted this build. It can also serve an educational purpose to teach children about all of the above because they learn better while playing! I think it's a cool model to display on your desk :)

The build contains 980 pieces.
I really did my best and I hope you like it! :D
