Makes - Cute Hippo Animal Model

Supports: Tree Supports were used to ensure the overhangs stayed clean while making removal a breeze.

Infill: Gyroid infill was the go-to choice for a great strength-to-weight ratio and internal stability.

Surface Prep: To achieve a smoother finish on the top and bottom sections, wood filler and veneer repair putty were applied. This helped bridge the layer gaps before the final finish.

Priming: Vallejo Primer was applied via airbrush to create a solid, even base for the colors.

Painting: The entire model was hand-painted with brushes. For the eagle's iconic head, Titanium White (mixed with a little yellow) was used to get that crisp, high-opacity look.

Highly recommend this model for anyone looking for a rewarding weekend project!
