3D 프린트 모델

these horses are meant to resemble their japanese wooden counterparts. in japan, these toys are painted in a variety of colors and have tufts of hair added to them. these horses have their origins in japanese folklore. today, in addition to decorative purposes, a black horse can symbolize strength while white is typically associated with longevity.

growing up around a lot of these old toys, i wanted to create my own. without access to traditional woodworking tools, i took to modeling software to create these in a way i know how to.

there are small holes in the models to add hair. any brush-like material, like those from the ends of brooms can work. just cut the fibers add a little glue and stuff them into the hole.

three different horses are included in this item. each toy horse is modeled after different regions in the country: yahata, chagu, and kinoshita.

the horses are approximately 1 in x 4.5 in x 3.3 in, 1 in x 3.2 in x 2.6 in, and 1 in x 3.8 in x 3.2 in respectively. they can be scaled up or down in size pretty reliably. these models require supports to be added. 프린트 준비: 아니오
