Not my usual 3D model, but I like "The Thinker" bronze sculpture. I could not find a published 3D printable file that did the sculpture justice, hence created my own. The sculpture stands 109mm high above the large base. The circular base is 100mm in diameter and 8mm high. The 3D model is sourced from the Rodin Museum's public 3D modelling library. An extract from Wikipedia ...The Thinker (French: Le Penseur), by Auguste Rodin, is a bronze sculpture situated atop a stone pedestal depicting a nude male figure of heroic size sitting on a rock. He is seen leaning over, his right elbow placed on his left thigh, holding the weight of his chin on the back of his right hand. The pose is one of deep thought and contemplation, and the statue is often used as an image to represent philosophy. Rodin conceived the figure as part of his work The Gates of Hell commissioned in 1880, but the first of the familiar monumental bronze castings was made in 1904, and is now exhibited at the Musé
