Belugatastic

Belugatastic! Beluga Whale, on an Ocean stand with a fuzzy brimmed top hat.
Printed approx 200mm (8 Inchish)

A happy story of overcoming all odds and the wearing of fuzzy top hats:

Friends daughter needed a Beluga Whale about 8" long for a science project.
Her mom's attempts at purchasing said Beluga resulted in disappointment...
so the 3D printer to the rescue.
My search for a Beluga stl resulted in disappointment also.
Only Paid stls, $200+?!?!?

Fired up Meshmixer and went to work on a whale.. More disappointment.
Wife suggested that Beluga's look more like dophins than whales, anyway.
Eureka!
Grabbed a good lookin dolphin, (Dolphin for Tabletop Gaming (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2930203) by mz4250 )
cut off and re-modeled it's face and fins...
and added some bulk...
Adjusted the body and tail to make it printable without any supports.
Wala!
