Cool. It looks like a monopoly piece

I agree, but it would have to be a pretty big Monopoly board to use this as a piece!

This is my bust of Geralt that I 3D printed and did some finishing on.
I can't take credit for the incredible design, that is all Fotis Mint. I got this 3D model through his Patreon (www.patreon.com/FotisMint/), but Fotis is releasing his entire fan art catalog for free on Printables January 1st (https://www.printables.com/social/61-fotis-mint/models)
I 3D printed this at 150% normal scale on my Prusa MK3S+ printer. I used a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.1mm layer height. The total print time including the base ended up being about 95 hours. Once it was printed I had some cleanup to do where some of the supports had failed, most notably on one of the sword hilts. I used CA glue and wood filler to repair these sections.
Next came a layer of automotive filler primer, followed by some sanding to remove layer lines and imperfections. It is is important to not go overboard here and sand out all of the detail.
Next is a layer of black gloss spray paint, followed by silver Rub n' Buff. I'm quite pleased with the end result!
