<p>This nice little statue resulted during the last few days and shows "Nautilus - the titan of the dephts" from League of Legends printed with a 3D printer and acrylic colours.</p>
<p>In this post, I want to give u a quick summary, how I created this piece of art...</p>
<p>U can find the 3D model here: &nbsp;&nbsp;https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:672063</p>
<p>After my 3D printer had arrived and was setted up, I searched trough the Internet to find this cute looking Nautilus statue, which I had to print out instantly. All the support plastic removed, &nbsp;this was the final result:</p>

<p>In the next step I started painting it, with some acryl colours I bought in the shop, starting with the big areas.</p>

<p>In the next few hours I really concentrated on the little things, using a picture of Nautilus as template. Resumming all the work, I´m pretty proud of my first selfmade statue ever even because im not the greatest artist:) &nbsp;</p>
<p>For my next prints, I will try to set the quality to a higher level even if this means much longer printing times. I hope u enjoyed reading this article, have a nice day!</p>
