"Who are You?" Project Bust 3D

Who are You?

 The project!

A little unplanned,
It's a strange time for me, maybe because I'm getting older, or maybe I'm just tired and I'd like to do too many things but I can't... I sat down and wanted to do something a little further from my plans that could still have a little meaning, even the heat didn't allow me to do complicated things, the wait for the desired summer holidays, in short a lot of things... and so here I am, as always, starting from a digital block, like a sculptor starts from a block of marble and begins to pull, drill, extrude... and here it is born... it's not complete yet but it's at a good 85%, it doesn't have a name... but a title for the scene... "Another_form_of_life" now "Who are You?" ....and I really hope you like it.

Finished project and printed model

I'm very happy with the result; in person, it has a strong impact, and although the robot is a cold, soulless object, in this case it seems to express tenderness and curiosity towards the little mouse. I believe that with the right coloring and effects, it could be a piece with a strong emotional impact. I think it's the one of the models I've made so far that embodies a little bit of my essence.

Let's move on to the technical part: the model received a significant amount of additional detailing, which in part made me fear the 3D printing would be successful, but the settings I entered and the positioning already proved successful. The supports are very small to leave as little mark as possible, and in any case in less visible areas. With 400-600-800 grit sandpaper, the surfaces are excellent. I noticed a few oversights in the photos, but I'll correct those before applying the primer. The model measures a generous 150mm in height and is made up of 16 pieces. This model will be presented at Alecomics next month, at the NKGC group stand. I might have some printed copies available for that occasion...

(ITA) Sono molto contento del risultato ottenuto, dal vivo ha un forte impatto, e nonostante il robot sia un oggetto freddo e senza anima in questo caso sembra esprimere tenerezza e curiosità nei confronti del piccolo topino, credo che con la giusta colorazione ed effetti, possa essere un pezzo con un forte impatto emotivo. Credo che sia tra i modelli che ho realizzato fino ad adesso quello che porta un pezzettino della mia essenza.

Passiamo alla parte tecnica, il modello ha ricevuto una ulteriore significativa dose di particolari che in parte mi facevano temere per la buona riuscita della stampa 3D, invece già le impostazioni che ho inserito e la posizione ha dato esito positivo. I supporti sono molto piccoli per lasciare meno segno possibile e comunque in aree meno visibili, con carta vetrata grana 400-600-800 si riesce a rendere le superfici ottime. In foto ho notato qualche dimenticanza ma che prima di dare la vernice di fondo correggerò. Le misure del modello (Busto sono abbastanza generose 150mm ed è composto da 16 pezzi. Questo modello sarà presentato in occasione dell'Alecomics del prossimo mese, presso lo stand del gruppo NKGC. Per l'occasione potrei avere qualche copia stampata disponibile...
