Introduction: K'nex Alien Ship (Foldable)

About: I live on a 10-acre hobby farm of sorts.

This creation is a triangle shaped folding alien ship. It can be positioned in many forms and folded up to reduce its size. (the green pieces on the bottom can also be folded out but I forgot to show that in the video)

6 yellow rods, 3 blue rods, 6 white rods, 18 green rods, 3 7-way 3d connectors, 6 5-way connectors, 3 4-way connectors, 3 3-way connectors, 3 2-way connectors, 3 2-way straight connectors (not in picture), 6 tan clips, 3 orange clips, 3 gray clips and 6 chain sections.
