My Precious

Made my own custom display for one of my smaller nuggets. No point keeping them all locked up.
The base is just an old desktop water fall that was busted, so perfect for Mr Smagol.

It even has my daughters DNA on it as I pinched some of her hair from her hairbrush for his hair. lol

Hand painted. Tamiya Acrylic

So so cool. You could start you own business doing that art / crafty stuff. :Y: Some would pay good $$$'s for it. Me included. erfect:

This gold display art is great. I have this one that used to belong to my grandfather. It's made out of iron spikes and nails and that's real gold in his pan.
It's called 'The Miner' by Ray Tyrer 1979.

This 3D printing fascinates me, hey hAyy, how long does a figure like that take to 3D print, do you have your own printer?
Its a creepy piece of art, but really well done. :trophy:

Perhaps we can start a new thread with this subject - show us your artistic gold displays...

That figure, all up took approx 14 hours all up. It all depends on size and scaling, and resolution. Yes I have my own 3D printer.
He is creepy, I agree.

Yes very true. I already have a few jobs I am doing for some people. I do PLA and ABS, but have some other filaments on order. Eg Ninja Flex.

I find it very handy to be able to customise and make anything. You are really only limited by your imagination and how well you can translate that into software programs.

hayyouinau , amazing art wow keep it up, come up with other amazing ideas, I love it even though its creepy and all :lol:

Hahaha awesome

It's a tad creepy, but I take my hat off to you for originality and use of modern tech.

Found this guy at my parents house the other day.

Heavy guy...but brilliant. Love the detail. Might have to do something with him.

Cool - a fossilised prospector - always wanted to know what would happen the next time I was out in the bush by myself and my back ceased up again
