Dr. Jones. Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot spend months obsessively recreating in plastic filament.
This has been an extremely time consuming project. Tried to make this as accurate as possible using predominantly primary source reference.
If you split this model in half down the centre then lay it down; it will print without supports. If you print the single model upright then you will need to turn supports on.
Finished model should be 7 3/4"-8" (190-200mm) in height. Scale accordingly.
I experimented with a number of different gold finishes. Plasticote gold spray paint isn't bad, about the same end result as rub'n'buff but easier to apply. I found the closest you can get to the vac-metalised finish of the original is a mirrored faux gold leaf. I applied this over a coat of the spray gold so any gaps in the application weren't so noticeable.
