Its Here. The forges of the nether regions of fungusania have been hard at work and finally we present:
The Myconid barbarian. Armed with a scale covered Scutum shield and a bone sword, he strides forth to conquer the world.
Yesterday I had the time to get the sword and shield made for the Myconid Barbarian. @basilmarples had informed me that he was armed with a scutumtype shield and a bonesword, and that I was free to interpret this as I liked.
I went for an Ikakalaka inspired design. the Ikakalaka is a congolese short sword with one of the most brutal and cool blade profiles I can think of. I took the liberty of adding a point to it. You can go see a real Ikakalaka here
The shield , being a scutum style was pretty fixed in shape but I made the surface look like it was made of scales possible from a (very large) lizard
I had him printed yesterday on my wanhao D7 1.5 using a black resin. These resins are a little bit translucent which is why he is slightly see through. He is 3.1 cm high from base to head (3.3 with the sword) which fits well with 28 mm scale figures
Now he just needs a coat of paint and he is ready for adventure. I would put him up for auction on steembay , but really he is very much made to order so maybe its more fair to first give @basilmarples the chance to just buy him.
Since this was a first test project (and because this was as much my idea as @basilmarples) I expect to be able to sell him for 20 SBD plus shipping (which depends on where I need to ship him)
In the future I would definitely be willing to make similar projects but the price for a full design and print would be higher. This time around I have effectively only charged for the print, since I did the modelling and design for my own amusement.
If you are interested please send me a message or write your proposal in the comments of this (or a later) post.
