The Black Death

Posted by Das_Dirch on 15 May 2023, 11:18

Hello everyone.
Today I would like to show you my last vignette entitled "The Black Death".

Figures are from the 3D printer, house facades were made of hard foam and balsa wood.
Hope you like it.

Bring out your dead!
Very nice work, especially on the house, and an interesting topic! The corpse has been dead for a while, I guess - stiff as a board. ;-) I always have loved those beaks stuffed with herbs that the black death doctors wore - so creepy, they make for a great subject matter. (The Covid pandemic would have been so much more interesting if we had had masks like that.)
Personally I find these 3-D sculpts a bit blobby and static, I would love to have seen some graceful flows in the fabric. It could have made them very dramatic and really added to your lovely diorama!

I like the rat!

Definitely spooky! An interesting subject, and one that makes me think that we are very lucky to live in times when medical science (and the dress of doctors and nurses) is better and less frightening than it was 600+ years ago.

I know little of 3 D printing, but the figures look fine even if the dead plague victim in their shroud looks a little too 'flat'...but may be this is rigor mortis? I like the house frontage very much.

The first look, I thought that is all only primed.
Because in my mind run around the word, black from the title.

Painting of the Figures is top !
The house is nice done.
The showed situation not.

And that rats ...

Hello Dirk,

so nice to see you posting here again. Interesting topic. The figures a cool, never saw the character carrying the dead. The only question for me is: the legs of the corpse would not have to hang down?

A bit too spooky for my liking. But brilliantly done nonetheless!
