Mask Replica

I have always been a big fan of the Zelda series so I wanted to create a replica mask for my desk.

I did not create, I only re-sized it. 3D model used: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:686111

The model and stand were printed at 200 microns.

To smooth out the model a 2 part Epoxy resin was used and applied with a paint brush. This resin is excellent for smoothing out steep curves and provides a little smoothing for shallow curves

The resin used was a fishing rod building finishing resin, this is a cheap way of smoothing prints without losing detail and give a great finish.

The mask and stand was base coated in white spray paint, this works well over the resin coating.

The mask was painted as seen here, using washes and some detailed line work.

The base was painted with a metallic gold and given a dark ink wash to finish it.
