I've been slack about posting progress as of late, but here is a quick update. Got the printer humming along again, and made a few test prints to confirm for my Armor of God series. (Ephesians 6:10-18 for you heathens out there. 😆)
Helmet is nearly done with post processing. A little more wet sanding and it will be ready for the base coat and then verigated gold and red gold leafing. Feathers on the way.. yeah.. gonna all fancy pants on this one.) Chest plate design is in the works again, but the front centerpiece will be the phoenix in the pics. (While not in the Bible, and originating from Egypt, early Christian writings associated the phoenix with Jesus Christ and the resurrection. I figure if it is good for Clement of Rome, it is workable for my project. *grin*)
Next up is the Belt of truth. The Lion head will star in that piece, but the new armor design will incorporate that in its making. Just gotta get those airbrush skills up to do that thing justice.
Finally working on design ideas for the shield of Faith. Yes.. it is another file found on thingiverse, but it could possibly work. Just need to get it into meshmixer and do some slicing, dicing, and designing on it. We will see tho..
Anyways, now that all is running well again, I am working on a commission piece for my partner, so all that will be on the back burner. Hopefully we can have it all done by Ren Fest in NC this year!
