The Indestructible Mushu
Added 2023-01-31 14:41:08 +0000 UTCIntimidating, awe-inspiring and travel sized for your convenience, Mushu is now available to download below!
Resin is the recommended print material with this one but I have had relative success printing him on FDM, although his whiskers and thin areas are definitely a struggle to say the least. He is available in 2 versions, with and without his gong attached, I printed both versions to make sure they're balanced properly and am happy to report they both stand, but just to note the gong acts as a counter balance to the model and makes it a lot sturdier than the other one.
This one turned out to be a good challenge, he's deceptively detailed for what I previously saw as a worm with legs, due to all of his limbs being tapered and shaped like Chinese brush strokes, which I thought was a really nice touch to the character design. I plan on modeling Cri-Kee to accompany Mushu further down the line. I also had the idea of making an actual incense burner out of the no gong version so that's something I may work on alongside the zen garden too.
See you in the next post,
Harley
