3D Printed in resin on my Creality LD002R. i opted to print as a solid chunk, giving the model a nice heft when held.
and I airbrush painted in tamiya gold with an over spray of tamiya clear orange for a bronze look.
I did a bit of chrome and painted over with clear blue and clear red for the lights.

Quite a job you did there. I remember these guys from the beginning of the movie, but I never heard their name before. Just how big is this piece.

Oh wow that’s cool! Great job on the printing and the painting!!!
I didn’t recall the name either, I was just calling them ‘the good alien guys’.
Spot on! Really nice job. I love that movie - are you going to do a Mangalore next “Don’t press the red button”
Yes, this is quite impressive; I didn’t know there were any models of items from the Fifth Element.
Excellent work! Do you have more Fifth Element projects in the works?

A line from the movie: “Anybody else want to negotiate?”

Very cool! I like the Mondoshawans’ design, the lines and shapes make them look a little like European gentlemen from the turn of the 20th century-like they’re wearing striped morning trousers, waistcoats, and cutaway coats.
As far as the name goes, it’s mentioned several times, but usually with a lot of things going on.
Brilliant casting, too-I loved Tiny Lister as the President.

Shouldn’t that be, “…Sssssssstonessssss…”
So, somewhere around 1/20 to 1/24 scale–very cool.

Fire burns, wind blows, water flows, and… dirt just kind of accumulates?
That’s a lot of cool stuff Octane Orange!

He is awesome. [Y][Y][Y]
I’m curious how are you coming up with the programs for your printer?
Do we still call them ‘programs’?
Again, great work. The dance/fight scene is that movie was a work of genius, and I’m still blown away each time I see it.
