Step 36

We will now make the hierarchy for the body as we want all wings and antennas

to be driven with the main body. For this, select the right wing and then

SHIFT+Select the main body. Press P to make the main body as parent of the

right-wing. Repeat the same for other three parts as well.

Step 38

Select the left wing and choose Modify > Freeze Transformations. It will not lock

the transformations, but it will neutralize the present transforms value to Zero so

that we can rotate or move it starting from 0 (zero). Do the same for right wing as

well.
