Badger skull

Hello! This is my very first 3D model, and I’m excited to share it with you.A friend of mine is really into real skulls (the kind you’d usually keep on a shelf…), but I wanted to create a version that’s more portable, safe, and easy to display—something you can bring anywhere, print in different sizes, and even paint without worrying about the “real thing.”So I started from an original skull, took a bunch of reference photos, and then rebuilt it as a 3D model by translating the shapes and details from 2D images into a printable 3D form. For a first project, I’m honestly really happy with how it turned out—the proportions and overall look came out super clean.Printing notes / tipsWorks great as a desk display, studio prop, or painting projectTry printing at a slower speed for cleaner surface detailIf you want a smoother finish, lightly sand before painting (especially on curved areas)I’ll keep improving the model, finishing details, and painting a version soon—and I’ll share updates as
