Muscular discobolus almost no support

<p>I didn't make this scan; I found it here <a href="https://www.myminifactory.com/object/discobolus-at-the-british-museum-london-7896">https://www.myminifactory.com/object/discobolus-at-the-british-museum-london-7896</a> (BTW their Scan The World program is fantastic!).</p> <p>I believe this discobolus is a modern retake because the head position is the same as the wrongly restored (thus unique) British Museum replica (see <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1894078">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1894078</a> and my no-support remix <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2026127">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2026127</a>), yet obviously different and noticeably more muscular. Authenticity aside, this version arguably has a more impressive physique and probably looks better on your table.</p> <p>Support just isn't my thing (hate to remove it and hate it more when it leaves a scar on a beautiful model), so I cut the model up into four pieces that can be printed with almost no support and then glued together. See instruction below. My result (150% scale) came out pretty nice.
