struggling!~

Week 4, Tuesday: So unfortunately, I don't have a praying mantis on this post. :( I attempted many times and struggled all weekend trying to model this thing. I had a few problems with the mirror modifier, rotating and scaling. At one point I couldn't even scale. I got really frustrated and ended up starting from scratch because it just got to the point where I forgot where I was in the tutorial. And I found myself lost following the tutorial because it was being done so fast. I want to try and attempt this again....
