King Fergus Belt Buckle & Kilt Pin

For Halloween 2022 my family decided to do costumes from Disney & Pixar's Brave. I was King Fergus. Reference image of King Fergus: https://braveipedia.fandom.com/wiki/King_Fergus?file=King+Fergus.png Due to some time constraints we opted to 3D print several parts of our costumes. Elinor's Crown and Fergus' helmet are both designs by Elfinn3: https://www.thingiverse.com/elfinn3/designs Crown: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4612318 Helmet: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4629333 The belt buckle & kilt pin hadn't been created as far as I was aware. The have a simple enough shape so I had a go at it with Tinkercad. For both of these I took some inspiration from this creation by Lucky Nail Blacksmith: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/belt-buckle-brooch-king-fergus-style-handforged--399764904402900687/ Belt Buckle: My wife determined that we would need about an 8 inch wide belt. This was made out of EVA foam. It was textured using aluminum foil pressed into the foam and heated with a heat gun. The buckle is a fairly simple design that looks very symmetric. It has a prong that you can insert after the print is complete. We ended up not using it, and just used the frame itself. My wife did a great job painting it to give it the proper forged look. Kilt Pin: I scaled the Kilt Pin to match the sizing of the belt buckle. Version 1.0 is designed with movable prong. the frame is split to allow for assembly. I didn't end up printing this version. My wife indicated that a movable prong was not needed. Version 2.0 is a single piece with the prong and frame combined. Once again my wife did the painting and it looks great.
