Mantlepiece Masterpiece

A meaningful moment captured in time: the bride‑to‑be, Shauna walking down the aisle with her late father, Frankie. Sculpted from the photographs he left behind. Though he passed away last year, his presence is restored here with dignity, warmth, and the quiet pride of a father escorting his daughter on her wedding day. A unique and thoughtful surprise from her husband Emmet.

Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.; January 17, 1942 – June 3, 2016)

Ali was an American professional boxer and activist. A global cultural icon, widely known by the nickname "the Greatest", he is often regarded as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. He held the Ring magazine heavyweight title from 1964 to 1970, was the undisputed champion from 1974 to 1978, and was the WBA and Ring heavyweight champion from 1978 to 1979. In 1999, he was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the Sports Personality of the Century by the BBC.

The gap in his dominant reign was due to a ban from boxing for three and a half of his prime years for refusing to participate in the Viet Nam war and is quoted as having said "I ain't got nothing against no Viet Cong; no Viet Cong never called me ni**er."

Right Folks, I'm currently moving back towards full time employment and to that end I will not be taking on any more work other than my own hobbyist work and family models. Employers do not appreciate divided attention.

They are loads of places on the internet to have your models done, I have checked with co-pilot on the various stages so you have some idea what you will be expected to pay for services, namely STL creation (whether sculpt or scan) 3d printing and then painting. If you find anywhere cheaper than these prices please feel free to share them in the comments for others, be wary of quality when cost-cutting.

I'm leaving the page open so that I am not starting again from scratch when I do finally decide to retire.

Savannah Duel – Lion vs Tiger Diorama

A moment of raw power is frozen in time: two apex predators meet on a jagged rise of stone, each refusing to yield. The lion surges forward with a roar that seems to shake the earth, mane sweeping back like a banner of war. The tiger counters with coiled precision, muscles drawn tight beneath its striped coat as it prepares to strike. Their clash unfolds on a rugged outcrop shaped by wind and age, a natural arena for a duel worthy of legend.

This high‑detail 3D printable diorama captures that instant — the tension, the motion, the instinctive ferocity — with sculpted anatomy, expressive poses, and deep surface texture. Every claw, tooth, and ripple of muscle has been crafted to hold up under close inspection, whether displayed as a raw print, primed model, or fully painted showpiece.

The scene is provided both as a complete merged sculpture and as separated, keyed components for easier printing and assembly. The rocky base anchors the composition, giving the lion and tiger a dramatic stage that enhances their silhouettes from every angle.

Perfect for collectors, painters, and anyone who wants a centerpiece that tells a story the moment it’s placed on a shelf.
