I Printed My Girlfriend a Mech Dragon [OC] /u/Ender_Guardian DnD: Roll for Initiative!

So, my girlfriend finished GMing a D&D game for myself and some if my friends this year, and in it, my character got to pilot a mech dragon with some beautiful artwork that didn’t exist in 3D models.

So, I found a 3D model that she said was “100% accurate [to her imagination] except the head” which had a very special crown to it, and a decidedly non-mechanical look.

Here is a look at the reference art: https://imgur.com/a/ZND4CbN I’m not sure I agree that it’s 100% accurate, but she said it’s pretty much spot-on… minus the head, so who am I to argue?

This was the last thing I mentioned to her about it. That was back in July/August.

So, I went online and found another model, exclusively for its head (though the rest of the sculpt is great too) and then modeled the crest myself, and kitbashed it all together in Meshmixer.

Here are some pictures from that project: https://imgur.com/a/fz6rCR4

Here are a few renders of the whole piece: https://imgur.com/a/gHoNyzd

Well, I’ve finally printed the whole thing out – the base in PLA, and the dragon itself in resin… and it’s just beautiful

Here are some more shots of it: https://imgur.com/a/hxRTnPt

I can’t wait to give this to her on Christmas day. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she receives it!

Now to figure out how to pack and wrap it…
