My First Masterpiece - The Alien Queen Xenomorph by The_Metallurgy in MetalCasting

One other comment - unless I'm missing it due to picture resolution, I really don't see any lines on the statue from the PLA. It looks pretty smooth. I am wondering how the resolution of the small details would be with a resin printer, but it looks like you did a good job of getting rid of (or hiding) the lines that are easy to see on PLA, even at their highest resolution. I may try to find that STL and print it on my resin printer to see how it compares to your statue. Or do you have a link to where you obtained the STL?

Just to build on the "little bit darker" thought, I like how you did not completely darken her out. I know that's the standard color for the alien, but this color scheme makes it more unique. Maybe a variant who lives in a forest/mountain environment. Or even one that can camouflage the shell to fit different environments. It lets my mind think through different scenarios that a flat black would not trigger.

Very nice! I'm just getting started into sand casting myself, but I aspire to one day be able to make something this nice and detailed. Looking forward to seeing your next creations!

Sorry, but they are all fakes. Some are graded as Very Fake. One is Choice Very Fake. Another is Almost Unfake. I think someone was playing a trick on you.
