I found this guy in a museum in Liverpool, but lack the motivation and clay to recreate him

I love his little face

That would make Keith Brymer Jones cry. "It's just beautiful... it's your best work so far... honestly..." (incoherent sobbing).

I've seen this guy in the original Mulan.

The only Mulan, LBH. 🥲

Seriously though, if their gift shop doesn’t have a replica coffee mug, they are missing out.

Could probably get one right in the museum too if I can run fast enough

You wouldn't steal a car

melsaskca@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 121d

Looks good, except for the teeth over the lips part.

Possibly this guy

and that's how you steal from mexico city museum of anthropology under everyone's nose... 😆

I do wonder, if you swapped these, how long would it take people to notice.

wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 121d

It's not The Louvre, though...

Nailed it

Aimed to duplicate a cup of eternal youth, ends up making an equally awesome bag of holding.

The resemblance is startling.

MattW03@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 121d

The object was made with some shitty $0 clay, so, close enough.

This one makes me so happy! https://dia.org/collection/dog/41200 The people of colima loved their little dog friends more than two thousand years ago

Never thought to recreate. But I would love a little post card print of doggo

YES! My dog in law looks like the ceramic ones too. Through a series of events, dog in law came to live with us. He’s a good friend. That dog figurine reminds me he comes from a long line of good friends.

Thats a hell of a 1st attempt!

Nice job op swag 900, but the teeth are supposed to stick behind the upper lip.

Is this really a story about Intellectual Property rights? Did Cory Doctorow consult!?

Also I need the file. To reprint the monster, bring me the file dammit

Micro$haft's free 3D Builder can help you whip that up in a couple hours, tops. 🖖🏼

MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 121d (1 reply)

Stuff it with paper or something until it dries, to keep the form?

Wait, they did. And it still fell together?

wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 121d

I'm betting the original clay has more particulate to fortify tensile strength and stabilize vertical reach, whereas the facsimile is "$2 clay" and largely polymer-thickened mud. 🤷🏼‍♂️

That's one of the phases of the Smithy boss fight

Not saying i don't like seeing this post, but i have to say i'm a bit surprised a post that doesn't really fit in this comm also got 3-5x more upvotes than the stuff usually posted here.

I support this level of fuck-it-otry

wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 121d

"fuck-it-otry"?

Maybe -ot and it'll flow better without that extra syllable?

I love that museum! But only the part with the ancient sculptures, not the creepy life sized dioramas.

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 120d

Now I want one too.
