Kerrigan Queen of Blades from Starcraft
Posted by OctaneOrange on Monday, March 16, 2020 5:33 AM

From starcraft series of games, this is Kerrigan 'Queen of Blades'. Following Arcturus Mengsk's betrayal, she was captured and infested by the Zerg Swarm, ultimately becoming the self-proclaimed Queen of Blades (a.k.a. the Zerg Queen) and leader of the Swarm. Sort of like the Borg Queen, only Zerg and Human rather than artificial.

The model is a 3D print, which was done in 5 pieces of base, legs, torso and two 'wings'. printing the wings required a lot of support material and i could only fit one at a time on the bed of the printer. I left a lot of the artifacts from the support material rather than cleaning it up, which gives it a more bumpy, organic look. Painting the model is where most of the work is, and this was the hardest paint job i've done. there are about 8 colours painted with an airbrush, with lots of mixing and gloss/matt variations. I also washed and dry-brushed to enhance the detail.

Oh cool!!! Beautiful job printing her and painting!

I played the krap out of the original but never bought the sequel, I'd heard it wasn't all that great.

Academy did a very short line of figures of Terran marines and the medic plus a Zerg hydralisk. They've been off the market for years.

i've seen the hydralisk and was tempted to buy when i see them, but never pulled the trigger. Maybe someone will release a 3d mesh i can print out.

I still have the Terran Marine, but never got around to it. I got hooked on the World of Warcraft and didn't get too into Starcraft.

Now that is really cool! Very well painted! I haven't thought of Starcraft in a very long time.
