Kristal of JK Brickworks created this amazing kinetic LEGO model that is absolutely fascinating to watch. It is a custom designed kinetic sculpture of a fruit bat, which replicates the unique wing motion of the nocturnal flying mammal.

In the video below, Kristal’s LEGO-building partner Jason Allemann shows the model in action, and explains how all of the mechanics work.
This is an awesome build. I have one question though: How long would it take Kristal to build an actual flying LEGO bat? Because I would like to see that. Also, I would like to shoot it and watch LEGO bricks rain down from the sky, but that would just be a sweet bonus.
