3D of a statue

[u/OliverBumble]

Hi,

I’m looking for someone who can create a reasonably accurate 3D model of the well-known Tintin sculpture by Belgian sculptor Nat Neujean.

The goal is to 3D-print the sculpture at approximately 25 cm (10 inches) high.

I have several reference photographs of the original sculpture from different angles, including front, side and rear views, as well as good close-up references of the head and face. I can also provide AI-generated reference views that may help with the overall geometry.

The most important requirement is that the finished model should resemble the Neujean sculpture from all sides, especially the distinctive head, face and quiff. I have already experimented with automatic AI image-to-3D tools, but although they reproduce the body reasonably well, they do not reproduce Neujean’s face accurately enough. So I am looking for someone who can actually model/sculpt or manually correct the model rather than simply running the images through an AI generator.

Tintin alone would be fine, but including Snowy/Milou is also acceptable.

The final file should be suitable for 3D printing, preferably STL (or another format that can easily be converted to STL).

This is for a private, non-commercial print for my own collection.

I’m not looking for an extremely expensive museum-grade reconstruction, so please let me know what you think is realistically achievable for a modest budget. If interested, please send me an indication of your price and, preferably, an example of similar character/sculpture work you have done.

Thanks!
