Plinth for Chuck Norris portrait

This is not really a Remix, but it goes with the awesome Chuck Norris bust - "Chuck Norris portrait" by Vodkazoda. It's a base or plinth for the bust, and has a name plate which can be printed separately and glued on.

To use this, the model will need to be scaled by about 325 percent or so (going by memory here, so adjust as needed). Then when the model is placed in the slicer, it will need to be rotated 15 degrees backward (see the pic). That is because the plinth has a sloped 15 degree top. I'd suggest printing this with tree supports, they worked really well on mine.

As a finishing touch, I chopped the edges off the shoulders to make it more bust-like (this could also be done with meshmixer though I did not think of it till after it was printed). There are 2 through holes in the plinth which are intended to help secure it to the bust using some wire or pins (I used stripped Romex wire glued into the holes, and then drilled matching holes a few mm into the bust. I filled the holes in the sides with Spackle and gave it 3 coats of Rust-oleum filler primer (sanding between coats) and then 3 very light coats of DecoArt "Dazzling Metallics" in "Rich Espresso" which sort of looks bronze.

The base is my other thing here:
