El regreso de Ícaro con su ala de surf

thingiverse

I printed this for my Spanish in-laws who are from Alicante. Managed to find a mostly complete photogrammetry-made model from [Ximo Vilaplana](https://sketchfab.com/ximovilaplana) on [SketchFab](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/el-regreso-de-icaro-con-su-ala-de-surf-961e5cd711a34d35bed737393a84b6a1) (thanks for sharing that!), and was able to patch up the missing backside of the model in Blender and make it printable. El regreso de Ícaro con su ala de surf (The return of Icarus with his wing of surf) * Sculptor: Esperanza d’Ors * Year: 1999 * Material: Bronze and aluminium * Height: 2,35 m * Width: 1,20 m * Location: Port of Alicante (Spain) Credit for the photo in the port: [Benoît Prieur - CC-BY-SA](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:El_Regreso_de_Icaro_con_su_ala_de_surf_(2).JPG) The title of this piece of art is a play on words, “el ala” (wing) and “tabla” (board) have a similar sound in Spanish. The sculpture represents the Greek myth of Icarus, and instead of wearing a pair of wings is holding a surfboard. The pedestal is beneath the water so it seems Icarus is walking above the surface of th sea.
