.....why the long face?

...it is indeed a horse. the smaller one is around 34mm and the larger just over 50mm. Looking at them after the print they are a little squat but that just bad modelling ( i'll blame the perspective view!) I think theres more detail than you can see in the photo but details like the mane and the tail have come out a little blobby on the smaller of the two pieces.

...its like a monkey but different...

A new test is needed, new sculpt, new printers, new cost.....fingers crossed.

...bigger but maybe not better

And here is the bigger one, this one is nearer 8cms. The Detailing on the print lends itself more to this scale, at least when it comes to my modelling skills. Print lines are more visible on this size whether or not this comes through in a cast remains to be seen.

..is it small or very far away.?

Well the 28mm print finally turned up. its actually a wee bit bigger than expected, nearer 31mm but still a good reference point for what i'm trying to achieve.The larger scale model was an innevitable cost and so I decided to go ahead with it. Apparently the need to optimize mesh for so I could upload the model had some diverse effects on certain areas on the sculpt. We'll have to wait and see......
You'll have to forgive the picture...but hopefully you'll get the idea...and heres acouple more angles...
