Scorpion Rig! by Kiel Figgins

Scorpion by Kiel Figgins

We're recommending this excellent scorpion rig by the very talented Kiel Figgins, free for download at his official site.

It's a great rig, not necessarily for realistic scorpion animation (it's mechanical - made of shiny metal) but perhaps more like a giant monster scorpion, suitable for roaming city streets and destroying civilisations.

So, where can animators find Kiel Figgins' scorpion and how does it work?
