Transition – Element Water aka PC- by SPARX

update 28/02/2020 . . added pics of model painted, and 2 head stands for your alternative heads . .

Number 4 of 4 different sculpture’s depicting the 4 elements EARTH, WIND, FIRE & WATER . . this is the fourth and final . . WATER ELEMENT.
They will use Movie themed Characters in a collage of props/bodys/outfits to depict each Element.
Inspiration came from my need to have 4 corner lights in a room of our home, so using the “fifth Element” movie stones as the bases, just needed a figure to represent each element.
WATER Element.
While collecting reference material for the 4th Element, it soon became apparent that it would be a sexy pirate, specifically someone from Pirates of the Caribbean. . .however as Keira Knightley just doesn't have the “asset’s” for a sexy pirate decided to use Penelope Cruz from "on stranger tides". As Penny also has starred in a lot of "spy/secret agent films . . I was tempted to incorporate . . . but no remembered the film Bandidas of two female western bank robbers . . so this is what we got . ..
The rock pool and top Rock was split to allow insert of the mermaids hand, I intend to light this also..

All of the parts are orientated to print base ready to print with your favourite slicer . .

All parts are cut files to fit build plate of small resin printers like the Photon, examples in images SLA orientated for least support and strongest print orientation, as seen in the images.
These orientations work for FDM printing but you may find a better orientation that reduces support.
The base is in 2 parts and is NOT SLA printable, unless you have a larger Resin printer!
All the parts have been printed and developed to print, A lot of prints have been produced to get the figures corrected and fault free.
The model is 1/6 scale and is 590mm tall on its full base.
Why cut into many smaller parts I have been asked?
1. If you try and assemble this, then paint it . .it would be nearly impossible to get into all the areas especially behind her right arm!
2. Smaller parts not only allow for Resin print at full scale, but also allow individual parts to use less supports than one larger part on FDM printers
So now you know!

Please do not scale down or adjust my recommended settings for infill etc. . . as you can see from the pictures this prints very well and I believe you will be pleased with the result when completed.
All of my models are only released when they can print! so please do not remix or "fix" faults in this model then republish! If there is a fault then let me know . . message me I will answer and fix problem. . apart from that print make enjoy.
I make these models for my own collection but I am always open to suggestions of content for models that cover the DC and Marvel universe as well as TV and film cult images e.g. Barbarella. so message me if you have any ideas . .
As always enjoy the parts on offer.
People ask me why the detail is so prominent (not just the Bimbo bits) but the muscle tone, anatomy, clothing etc. on my models . . well as they are primarily made/designed for my own collection I always sand down with fine emery then have models subjected to an Acetone vapor bath for 60 seconds when using FDM. This seals the shells and makes a smoother appearance but removes some detail . . hence build more detail into the model . . hope you like.

TIPS:
Do not hollow Pool arm.stl, Water logo.stl, If printing Resin.
Right leg hollow at 3.00 to stop it hollowing the gun on leg if Resin printing.
All parts except heads on FDM were print tested at 0.16 speed 50
Heads were printed 0.12 speed 50
Both arms printed at 012 speed 50 to capture detail of sword/gun
ALWAYS dry assemble and “trim” parts prior gluing.
Completely assemble Body apart from right sword arm, makes it easier to paint.
