The Lincoln Imp

This is my interpretation of the Lincoln Imp. There's one is sat in the Gothic arches of Lincoln Cathedral but it's well hidden. If you ever get chance please visit Lincoln Cathedral and see if you can find the imp. There are several others out there across the world for you to find, just think of it as a treasure hunt.


imp3 files improved. The pla print was scaled and sliced to 25% using Sli3er. Makes a good lapel badge or keyring.


I'm printing a larger one now and will update when finished. I've used a spray glue and covered the imp in a fine cement/lime (Blue Circle) mortar. Whether this is going to look like Ancaster stone I'm not sure. When dry I'm sure I'll recover the detail by brushing off the excess. I think a blend of coloured chalk may be better. You can buy stone effect paint but it's expensive.

Print a couple and hide them in alcoves of your church - vicar will find it hilarious!

You use this word alcoves?
