Hedwig: Snowy Owl - DIY Metal Model 3D Cross View

This 3D stereographic photo is of a metal model kit that I built. The framing and depth was carefully picked so that the tips of its wings stretch out of the screen! This model is of Hedwig, the snowy owl that Harry Potter received as a birthday present from Hagrid when shopping for his wizard school supplies.

 

This model is from the Metal Earth Premium Harry Potter Collection. The parts come stamped, laser cut, and engraved on a piece of sheet metal which is usually steel and sometimes brass. Some premium models are painted. The parts must be cut out of the sheet metal using clippers. Then needle nose pliers sometimes with the help of dowels or other curved objects are used to bent and twist the parts to form their final 3D shape. The pieces have tabs and slots that are extremely tiny on the order of a few millimeters to half a centimeter that allow pieces to fit and hold together without glue or other adhesives. This fun hobby has many different models for people to enjoy building. These vary from branded ones such as from movies & comics or companies such as Ford, Boeing, NASA, Kawasaki, Freightliner Trucks, and Western Star Trucks. There are also unbranded models with categories such as wildlife, mythical creatures, architecture, armor, vehicles, ships, aviation, space, construction, music, and many more.

 

This photo is in 3D crossview. You cross your eyes while keeping the screen centered and it should become one image at the center in 3D. More Instructions for viewing 3D images: www.3dphoto.net/text/viewing/technique.html
