Head over Heels - Dungeonalia entry

I’ve never really bothered much with D&D.
Like sprouts and pickled tripe, I tried it once and didn’t like it.
But even I’m familiar with the “baddie tropes” from D&D. Like the Owlbear. Or the multi-eyed Beholder. Some things you just expect to be present, no matter how many times something is played or “rebooted”.

And it’s very much the same with Head over Heels.
Nobody would even dare make a remake of this game, without including the Dalek Charlie.

He even appears in the game poster art.
And in-game looks *exactly* like the real life at-the-time-Prince-not-King Charles

So while I’m waiting on the printer to finish, I took to Blender, hit Cults3d and downloaded a couple of STL files to do some (rather crude) mash-ups.

It’ll be interesting to see how this prints out at just over an inch high – I’m hoping some of the more textured surfaces get “rounded out” by printing so small, and we can get a more cartoon-ish looking character.

The first thing to do was to add some comedy over-sized, Spitting Image-alike ears to a model with a close likeness to the great jug-eared one.

Then it was a simple case of boolean-chopping his head off (is that still treason if it’s only done digitally?) and sticking it onto a (free) Dalek body STL

I really wanted to add a crown to this character. I don’t even mind paying for a few STL files (I’ve spent a few quid on this already). But the famous St Edwards crown isn’t easy to get hold of as a 3d-printable file (that will scale down easily to 32mm scale) without spending silly money.

So I came up with an alternative. Sadly, my Blender/3d skills aren’t quite up to making this 3d-print-friendly. I’m not sure how to thicken the walls of the crown, so they’ll survive the resin printing process. But if I could, this is the crown I’d go with
