Coin display holder - UK Royal Shield of Arms

thingiverse

This is a holder for the UK coins showing the Royal Shield of Arms. I started by looking at the design from cwbrown, but then wanted to ensure it really matched the positioning of the shield design across the coins, and also to include the details of the design on the holder too. That seemed like a simple couple of steps, but in reality it took many hours across several weeks to work through tracing the designs, fine-tuning the coin positions relative to each other, creating a pleasing 3D model, and dealing with a bunch of mesh problems along the way. In the end, having created multiple incremental 3D models, I went right back to the flat design, refined the line details, and pushed it into 3D as the final step before export.
