thanks guys! yeah - i'm hoping to get it fairly high detail, though when you get that close it kind of gets confusing - especially where the wing joins the body. at the moment i'm planning to pose him on a half-eaten hot dog. :p I found this great site for fly anatomy if anyone is interested - just click on the atlas in the top right corner... https://www.ento.csiro.au/biology/fly/fly.html#
