I thought it would be fun to create a low polygon count version of the Christus Statue by Bertel Thorvaldsen for Easter this year to teach my kids about 3D printing. I used one of the files of the statue already uploaded here and then modified it to lower the polygon count. I also fixed some of the holes and errors that were in the original model.
