Technic DNA

Enlarged the base in length and width for better stability when the DNA model is vertical and changed its color scheme to match that of the model.

For a detailed look at the science behind this project, please see the full write-up at http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/406459. You'll also find additional photos there.

The section entitled "The structural model" at http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/406459#model contains the straight science.

The "Design notes" section at http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/406459#notes and the "Specifications" section at http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/406459#specs are also accurate.

NB: The "Introduction" at http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/406459#intro and the section entitled "A little accident at codon 4" at http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/406459#mutation contain nerdy attempts at scientific humor related to the MOC's title: "Mutant DNA".

If nothing else, these sections show that one can indeed "play" with a sturdy DNA model that can be recoded at will.

None of the photos submitted to LEGO Ideas show the mutant version.

Thanks for your support,
