Ents

I found a good 3D print file on Thingiverse for Ents. I wasn't entirely happy with the poses and proportions, so a bit of cutting, regluing and epoxy putty and....

Very nice! I've thought of making a couple of ents myself for 3d printing.

'bout the best Ent figures I've seen.

blimey, files and 3D printing, eh?

They look great!

3d print lines can be problematic but they look pretty natural there.

Fantastic - is that print lines there doing great service as lines in the bark?

Here is a link to Fabelzel's Treemen       https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4237764

The 3D printlines (and residual support fibres) do kind of work for the bark look. The torsos needed a bit of modelling putty to give the trunk bark the right look.

Thanks, just printed one and came out nice. Just a bit difficult to clean all the supports but nice pose, will need to do some repairs, miliput and greenstuff work too. Think I found my ents for an all treemen army  ;)

They look great. In this case, FDM print lines have been helpful.
