TI4 trophy handle

I used an existing STL I found on Thingiverse for printing the War Sun in 2 halves on a FDM printer. I then primed and sprayed it with several layers of dark and metallic paints.

The chess-like handle piece in that file is too small to easily grab so I designed the basalt column/galaxy map inspired handle piece to fit a wooden base I bought online. I've uploaded the handle to Thingiverse in case anyone else wants to try making it. The parts are secured with two-part epoxy resin, and the handle is printed with a colour changing PLA to give it a gradient from gold to red.
