SCOTTISH KELPIES
Project: PML Prints Commission
Software Used: Blender
I was asked to make 3D printed replicas of Andy Scott's 30-metre-tall Kelpie sculptures in Falkirk, Scotland.
Replica Height: 17CM
Print time: 32 Hours Per Set
At night, the Kelpie sculptures light up. To replicate this, I placed a multicoloured LED tea light in the base.
