The Executioner

by Claude Zeringue

Claude  3D printed this 10 inch high figure of the executioner. He said that it took 22 hours to print in five sections.

He had to scale the file that he bought down by 20% because the base wouldn’t fit in his printer.

The base with the skull is one piece.

The resolution from his Elegoo Saturn 2 is 8K so there were no resolution lines.

Don Wolfe assembled this Estes model rocket called the Interceptor.

He painted it with multiple coast of Tamiya white. He says that you need a good ruler to make sure the decals are properly aligned.

And it comes with a LOT of decals!

The subject line was: ROSEBUD

“Rosebud” was the dying word spoken by Orson Welles in the movie Citizen Kane: a reference to his childhood sled – the symbol of memories of youthful innocence.
