Title: The Vikings... :)
Post by: Fred on January 22, 2018, 14:02:20 PM

Well, I have to use my modeling tools for the rest of the family :)
Daughter had to do a presentation about the Vikings. After a swift visit to Dublinia, back home, it was time to print some Viking stuff.
Helmets, to show what people think they used (the ones with horns), and the reality.
Same for the hammer... Big difference between what you see in the movies, and the real representation :)

Interesting stuff, and a nice tool to do proper "show and tell" in school :)

All PLA, then painted with Humbrols :)

Looking pretty funky!
I always find it's easier to justify a purchase if there's a "practical" use, i.e. not for RC!  ::)
