Pert-Hon, colonial Topsider on board of the Terranian explorer EX-1

[nönöbär]

Pert-Hon, Deputy Chief of Science of the EX-1. Pert-Hon is a Colonial Topsider, so he is shorter than normal Topsiders at about 1.60m, but considerably more strongly built.
After graduating in hyperphysics from Terrania, he went aboard the explorer EX-1 as deputy head of the science department.
Since his youth, Pert-Hon has been fascinated by the myth of the Inyathi, a scaly mythical creature with short stubby legs and a small horn-like projection on its head that is said to live in the swamps of the southern continent on Topsid. During his time in Terrania, Pert-Hon had become acquainted with the mythology of unicorns and has since tried to trace both myths back to a common basis. You'd better never call him on it, unless you have a lot of time....

The figure shows Pert-Hon wearing his EX-1 operational suit together with an Inyathi - as he imagines it.

In total, three 3D models from Thinigverse were used here:
TinkerCAD Power Armored Trooper (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1978819) by dutchmodul
Godzilla Ukulele (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3026223) by Bootdsc
Cute Unicorn (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2222300) by zacleung







Head and tail logically stem from Godzilla and were combined with the Armored Trooper in Tinkercad, the Inyathi is of course the model of the unicorn.
Everything was printed with an Anycubic Phoron Resindrucker, scale is 1:12. The painting was done with Revel Aqua Color, the decals are from the leftover box or self made.

Printing the Topsider model from Pert-Hon last week took about 12.5 hours. Since I was pretty indecisive about how to paint him, I had printed a few small test models in advance to test different painting options. The small ones are only 3 cm tall (Pert-Hon is about 12 cm tall) and could all be printed at once. One of the small figures was not printed correctly, but this could then be "fixed".

Normally such test models then fly into the garbage, but these were then nevertheless too good that they "survived" and got a small base plate each.

Printed with an Anycubic Photon Resin printer, painted with Revel Aqua Color and for the base plates various model railroad grass was used.

Brilliant.  Love it.

The Inyathi looks like it comes from The Planet of the Moomintrolls...

Absolutely fantastic, brightened my day
