Blue-throated Macaw, colorful and lifelike, fully disassembled, no AMS required

    The parrot's tail feathers are quite long vertically (extending further down than its claws), so it needs to be placed on a vase rim, on a tree, on a horizontal stick, on a TV or monitor, on a table edge, or on an overturned cup to elevate the main body and allow the tail to hang freely. In short, downward space is required for the tail. My assembly diagram also illustrates several placement methods and the printable bases that form them. For example, with double-sided tape, it can be attached to a monitor or TV; with the complete set of three bases, it can be placed on a desktop; and with a vertical cylindrical support, it can clip onto a vase rim, etc.

    The model has many colors and numerous parts, so an assembly diagram has been specially created for reference. The model is fully segmented and does not require AMS for printing. The white face part will require you to manually draw the eyes and black patterns later using a black marker or acrylic pen (because the parts are too small, disassembling them again would make installation difficult, so it's easier to just draw them directly). The claws and nails are relatively difficult to attach because the nail parts are small, requiring you to find the correct angle for installation. Additionally, once the claws are securely attached, if you want to use the dead tree, you will also need to find the right angle and contact surface for the stress points during installation, then press firmly with glue. These two parts are more challenging to install and require some skill and angled attempts, but with patience and a bit of thought, it shouldn't be too difficult

    Originally, I finished the large macaw at the beginning of this competition, but then the project was put on hold due to the Chinese New Year and other commitments, so I didn't proceed with in-depth sculpting and refinement. It turned out that others in the competition also made macaws, so I decided not to let my effort go to waste and finished it. The entire parrot has many colors; I made a blue-throated macaw. To enhance the sense of layering and detail for realistic reproduction, the body and wings each use 6 different feather shapes combined with sculpted feathers, and significant time was also spent sculpting and optimizing the dead tree trunk
