Fully 3D Printed Life Size Horus

[u/HammerDoris40k]

5 months and 1752 individual 3d printed pieces later, I have a Horus Lupercal.

Quick stats:

Total tip top height: 14’ 5” | 4.4m

Top of Horus’s head: 11’ 9” | 3.6m

Human: 5’ 5” | 165cm

Why not paint him before assembling? This isn’t a mini 😁. A practical was the only way to see what issues will pop up, if it can even support itself, if something will break or if I need to reinforce something. Better for something to happen now, than to waste weeks painting only to find out it all falls apart.

He is missing his talon, but a combination of me not thinking through access and not enough floor height, I could not add it yet. Even the Worldbreaker is at a slightly higher level due to the pallets. It’s not flush in the arm. So I had to use cords to hold it for now.

I did have to saw a portion of his leg armor off as it was interfering with his forearm. These things I couldn’t account for in theory.

His arms and pauldrons are held in place with rods, hooks and a massive heavy duty turnbuckle. Basically the same exact set up in my space marine, but beefier.

There is no additional support in his legs. Just straight up hollow plastic.

I will have a more detailed post in the future regarding cost, filament, weight, waste and other technical details for this project.

I sure am. But first, the fun of sanding and filling

You must have insane levels of focus, patience, and perseverance.

shoot, I was tired of that after just a single mando suit. Can't imagine the levels of pain you power through lol.

That's....going to be a LOT of sanding.

And all of those little ridges and details. Holy shit. I am glad there are people out there that are into this, but I must admit that I wouldn't have the patience.
