The “Fisherman’s Boy” is a copy of a statue by the Brandenburg sculptor Gustav Metz. It was erected in 1912 at the pond in Humboldthain by the Richard Spittas Foundation and has been in the courtyard of the Brandenburg City Museum since the 1970s. I took the pictures for the 3D scan with my iPhone…Continue readingSHORT Post – 3D Scan fisherman’s boy, Brandenburg
For 6 years my nativity figures were for sale on several different platforms and were regularly well rated, until one day a user suddenly gave negative feedback. Schlechte Qualität, keinerlei Details erkennbar. Schade ums Geld. (Bad quality, no details visible. A waste of money) Of course, I was a little taken aback by this criticism.…Continue readingRemastering the 3d printable nativity figurines
Anyone who makes 3D prints themselves is regularly faced with the problem of firmly joining different objects together. Especially miniatures made of resin are sometimes difficult to glue together.
Here are my best solutions for assembling 3D printed minis and other models.Continue readingBonding resin 3D prints, but how?

UPDATE: The figurines received a remaster! History of Nativity scenes The first evidence of a reenactment of the birth of Jesus and the surrounding events can be found in Greccio in 1223 by Francis of Assisi. For the first time, instead of preaching, he used humans and living animals to imitate the biblical traditions. Subsequently,…Continue readingNativity figurines for 3D printing
I know this is not a typical archaeological topic, but I am a massive fan of Star Trek and thought it would be fun to reconstruct a movie prop from the beginning of SCIFI movies. So please forgive me for not staying on topic and enjoy the model. Next time it will be archaeology again,…Continue readingReconstructing a 60s Star Trek phaser rifle
A quick attempt at reconstructing a medieval motte, a hybrid between a castle and a fortified house. Buildings like this existed throughout Germany and provided security for smaller villages. Everything was created in Blender 3D 2.79.Continue readingSHORT Post – 3D concept of a medieval Motte
These are the results of a short test scan. The object is a lion’s head as part of the decoration of a building. The head itself has a diameter of 5 cm and is made of brass. This 3D object is based on 39 images taken on a cloudy day with an iPhone SE. The…Continue readingSHORT Post – a lion in the List, Hannover
Bones are processed in various steps into artifacts and tools. Frequently, unfinished or semifinished pieces of raw material can be found in archaeological assemblages. These semifinished products often have characteristic traces of processing, from which conclusions can be drawn on related finished products. A particularly typical form were metatarsus needed for needle production. The Metatarsus…Continue readingTraces of Bronze Age needle making in 3D
