Gonna Be A Mighty King, So Enemies Beware!
Added 2023-07-07 03:30:18 +0000 UTCIn honour of Pride month our next character model was Simba with his fabulous leaf mane, now available to download below.
I've been itching to start our Lion pride for a while and who better to start off with than the future king of pride rock, I printed him in Gold PLA, which I then painted. The test prints ran smoothly so besides his whiskers he shouldn't have any issues printing on either resin or FDM, I've included both a solid and hollowed version to ensure no resin pockets form within his leaves. I printed him at 15cm tall at the tip of his leaves which makes him a little taller than our Mickey, this should make him a nice size for when we make the larger lion's for the collection.
Despite having the song stuck in my head for the better part of a week I absolutely loved making this one and the finished sculpt looks awesome! I eventually plan on making all of the notable characters from the Lion King as well as old and young versions of all the Lions, I'm particularly excited for Kovu and Kiara! and of course Scar.
See you in the next post,
