Colossal bust of Ramesses II / Ozymandias

I'm sharing this to thank everyone who has supported my ongoing Kickstarter campaign, *Through a Scanner, Skulpturhalle,* http://ThroughAScanner.com If you're already a backer: Thanks! Thanks for seeing its potential, and for helping to make it happen. Here's one of the British Museum's gems to tide you over while we wait--and hope--for the Skulpturhalle scans to materialize. I'll try to process and publish more scans I've already done at other museums while the Kickstarter is still running, to make my fundraising "updates" worthwhile. If you haven't heard of my project: My Kickstarter will suport me travelling to the Skulpturhalle Basel museum in Switzerland to 3D scan a collection of plaster casts of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. Then I'll edit them for 3D printability and share it all here on Thingiverse. If you like the models I've scanned and shared so far, and want to help me keep at it, please consider supporting my project, and tell others about it. Please take a look at the project site: http://ThroughAScanner.com Thanks, Cosmo - cosmo.wenman@gmail.com - http://cosmowenman.com *** **Colossal bust of Ramesses II, the 'Younger Memnon'** I captured this piece at the British Museum in October, 2012. I've printed it at around 4" tall, and cast another copy in bronze at around 10" tall -- the brightly colored version in the photo above. For more about my bronze casting, see my comments on *[3D Scanning, 3D Printing, Bronze Casting, and the Art of the Living Dead](http://cosmowenman.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/3d-scanning-3d-printed-lost-pla-bronze-casting-and-the-art-of-the-living-dead/)* (*Ramesses II* in bronze is for sale, btw.) *** From the British Museum's web entry: Weighing 7.25 tons, this fragment of his statue was cut from a single block of two-coloured granite. He is shown wearing the nemes head-dress surmounted by a cobra diadem. The sculptor has used a slight variation of normal conventions to
