Just a quick update on the Mario Kart Trophy I started CAD modelling yesterday – I’ve laminated some 12mm particle board together to form a 24mm thick piece, and cut the ring and base pieces to size with a very dodgy jigsaw. The first coat of a ‘Golden Oak’ stain and varnish is on (just what I had lying around) which makes me think I might paint the 3D printed pieces silver rather than my original idea of gold for better contrast to the timber. 3D prints to begin this week.
