This is a personal project in which I recreated the Hand of the King pin from the Game of Thrones TV show using Blender and a Reprap 3D printer. The finished model is free to download and print! You can find it at Thingiverse. Here is brief overview of how it was done.
Part I: ModEling

Putting it all togetherThe pieces were joined by Boolean modifiers, with the operation type set to union. This method results is horrible topology and is not recomended for most uses, but thankfully clean geometry is irrelevant for 3D printing, so it proved to be an efficient solution.
A slot was created at the back (also with a Boolean) to allow a pin to be inserted and glued, so that it can actually be worn. |
