Here's a little something different I did recently. But first, a bit of background on the why of the project.
We have a 29 year old daughter (Catherine) who has been with her boyfriend (Anthoine) since 2018. They are presently in Europe doing the Compostella walk. Anthoine wants to propose to Catherine at the end of their walk once arrived in Finistère, at the zero kilometer marker. So far, no problem with that. He bought a very nice engagement ring but was affraid to carry it in his backpac for 3 mounths, he could lose it or whorst, Catherine could find it. So bringing the ring was a no go. That's where I stepped in. I 3d modeled a replica of the ring and à mini ring box. Anthoine brought 2 with him in case he lost one and the box being tiny, he was able to hide it effectively. Catherine is an avid Lord of the rings fan, so I designed a ring box with that in mind.
Here's the 3d model of the mini box

With the replica ring inside

And the printed mini box


But it doesn't end there, once they return home, anthoine will give her the real ring. So I made another "Lord of the rings" ring box but full size, complete with suede interior as should be.
Again the 3d model

And the real thing next to the mini


Who said a model had to float, fly or have wheels !!
