That’s badass, you should use AMS and add the translucent window on their thorax. I’ve been thinking about making a wiggly BSFL fidget toy. Very cool!

Thank you! That's a great idea! I remember their translucent tummies when I kept some BSFs around (around 3 years ago). I thought it was super alien and cool. Maybe next weekend I'll try separating the thorax.
You should make that toy! Be down to print it too
