Bronze age spearhead scan

thingiverse

This is a stunning recreation of an ancient spearhead found at Arreton Down on the Isle of Wight. The original scan was uploaded at: https://sketchfab.com/models/fdcb37d0bf45467da4f5afde8fe3eb1a by http://micropasts.org/ I printed it in high resolution with numerous supports to maximize clarity on both sides of the model. The finish is achieved through a combination of ModernMasters bronze and copper paints, completed with SculptNouveau patina. Micropasts' crowd-sourced initiative allows anyone to participate in archeological efforts by contributing their time to scanning and documenting processes. This collaborative approach brings about more practical solutions than daring expeditions, yet provides a fulfilling opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause without facing any deadly risks.
