This a 3D scan of a bust of Albert Einstein from the Usher Gallery and The Collection in Lincoln in the UK.

The bronze bust was made in 1930 by Artur Loewenthal and 3D scanned by Oliver Laric in 2013.

I wanted to make the 3D model just as big as the original bronze bust (34 cm in height). I also fixed some minor issues.

I decided to make the scan hollow and cut it in pieces to save material and time. I filled the printed halves with gypsum to add weight.
