This is a 3D model of a bronze cast of Frederic Auguste Bartholdi's maquette for the Statue of Liberty.
After the Statue of Liberty was finished, Bartholdi would occasionally commission the French foundry Thiebaut Freres to create a bronze cast from his original maquette. The bronzes that were cast were usually gifts for friends. They are now highly sought after by collectors. The museum inside Fort Wood under the Statue of Liberty has a modern bronze copy of one of these wonderful sculptures.
I was lucky enough to have access to one of these bronze sculptures and I photographed it extensively. I'm pleased with the resulting model since the sculpture was made of bronze, had a dark and shiny surface. A beautiful thing to look at, but harsh to photograph and model from.
I tried to match the size of the original so I scaled this 3D model to roughly one meter.
If you look carefully, you'll notice that one of the rays on the left side of the crown is slightly bent back, probably from a slight mishap. I chose to leave that feature alone as I didn't want to muddle with the model too much.
Layer Thickness 150 microns. InFill 10%. Downscaled 13% to height 130mm. Original height 100 cm.
