Descripción
This statuette of Athena, carved from Pentelic marble, was found in Athens near the Pnyx.
Known at the "Lenormant Athena", this statuette copies the Athena Parthenos by Pheidias. Although unfinished, the work is important because it preserves the relief representation of an Amazonomachy on the exterior of the shield and the relief image of the Bird of Pandora on the base - themes at adorned the original statue of Athena. The copy probably dates to the 1st century AD.

I wanted to make a full-sized copy of this sculpture. I'd seen it in books when I was a child over 40 years before but replicas weren't available back then. Fast forward to recent times and I was delighted to see a 3D model of the Lenormant Athena. After downloading it, I revisited references online and discovered it was only 410mm tall. I took the 3D model and resized it in Meshmixer to match the original. I then cut the model apart into 13 printable pieces and got started. After almost two weeks, I had all the pieces and glued them together. I then used a sand-colored paint/primer. After that I antiqued it with an off-white paint to give it a more antique look. While not perfect, I was still so pleased with the finished sculpture that I had to share it here. ;-)
