Johnny Rico for 3D Print

**Gordon Robb** · 05-26-10

Been working for a while on making Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) from Starship Troopers. This will be printed as a 1/6 scale maquette (around 18 inches tall).

Like my Paul Atredies model, a likeness was very important as it will need to stand without texturing. I have not finished with the face, but moved on from it to do the helmet (which will be a version on his head, and a version hanging from his waist so needed inside detail). Then build the boots and last night finished the trousers, which will be printed as a separate bit (he'll split at the waist).

Still a long way to go, but I thought I would post it for some comments/crits etc.

Cheers

Looks nice to me

.

After I finish my current learning project I plan to do my first 3d print - my grandmother likes Erta so I thought I would do his "Daydream" sculpt for her and have it printed. Who do you use for your printing?

i would love to do a 3d print sculpt at some point. are there any good tutorials that describe the various things to keep in mind for prints? this is a great sculpt btw!

Hosch: Thanks. I'm modeling this for someone else, and he is organising the printing so, dunno.

sarakawa: Cheers. I got everything 'I think' I know from the one of the tutorials in teh Zclassroom. It is specifically about modeling for 3D printing.

Occurred to me that I haven't posted any progress on this for a while. Been enjoying learning ZB4 for the hard body stuff. Almost done now.

I love it. Can't wait to see more. Starship Troopers has always been my favorite film (Not so much 2 and 3 though)

Just keeps getting better Gordon!
Looking forward to seeing how the print comes out....
Hopefully you will up pics of it as well.

Modelling finished. Now to pose him.

Yep. No doubt in my mind that's Johnny Rico.
