Starstruck

The stunning art-deco sculpture depicts a lovely young woman in a sleek, long dress and with an elaborate headdress that represents a dazzling constellation of stars. The figure stands proudly on its own base. This beautiful sculpture is clearly inspired by the remarkable work of Erté, a renowned artist and designer from the 20th century. His incredible talent has touched many areas, including fashion, jewelry, graphics, costume design, scenery for cinema, theater, and opera, as well as interior design. Many of Erté's masterpieces are now on display at world-class museums like the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution. The sleek Startrek statuette in 1/7 scale (363 mm) now takes center stage on my living room shelf, while the 1/18 scale (123 mm) figurine adds a touch of elegance to my car collection. Reference The original model underwent meticulous refinement in ZBrush for precise 3D printing in both small and large scales. To accommodate printing on a large scale, the model was divided into two parts at the height of the figurine. Channels were carefully provided for installing pins that connect the parts to each other and to the stand. I successfully printed this model using an FDM printer Lad-1.0, featuring a 1/7 and 1/10 scale (0.3 mm nozzle and 0.1 mm layer) printout, as well as a 1/18 scale (0.2 mm nozzle and 0.06 mm layer). This sculpture will truly shine in scales of 1/7 (height 363 mm) or larger.
