Built around an unmistakable symbol of strength

Prominent horns, a segmented body and a low, grounded stance capture the powerful character of the Hercules beetle. Gradient wing panels shift between gold, purple and green, adding a futuristic edge to its mechanical exoskeleton.

Trace the energy through its frame

Illuminated fiber-optic tubing carries green, red and blue light through the mechanical body. After dark, the glow reveals the structure beneath the reflective metal shell and gives the finished beetle a distinctly cybernetic presence.

Build the exoskeleton piece by piece

Bring 418 metal pieces together over an estimated three-hour-plus build. The illustrated guide, included needle-nose pliers and dual-head screwdriver help you work from the internal structure outward to the finished armored form.

Questions before you begin?

Is the Hercules Beetle suitable for a first metal model?

It can be completed by a patient beginner, although its layered body and small fasteners provide more detail than a basic starter kit.

Can the Hercules Beetle’s legs be repositioned?

The jointed leg structure allows minor pose adjustments. Tighten the joints evenly so the finished beetle remains stable.

What tools are needed to build the Hercules Beetle?

The assembly uses small mechanical fasteners, so a precision screwdriver and needle-nose pliers are the main tools required. Check the product’s included-items section before purchasing.
