Dino Ladle

After seeing some, not altogether successful attempts to model this dinosaur ladle I thought I'd have a crack at it myself.

It came out pretty well, on the whole, however, I scaled the model to about 70% of its original size before exporting it, in order that it would fit in my printer.

If the printer your using has enough hight, you might want to increase its scale to around 140% which would make its hight 286mm.

The ladle is also slightly off-balanced so the weight of the handle will cause it to fall over if the bowl is empty :-/

Be aware that the photos are the reference images I used to create the model and not actual prints.

Enjoy

UPDATE:

Dino_Ladle_01 I improved the shape of the head and upper neck.
