The Book
I spent a lot of time watching the adjacent clip from the 2005 movie, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The first few hundred times were when I was modeling "The Book" in MS 3D Builder, so I was paying close attention to shapes and their relation to each other.
The next few hundred times I watched this clip was to reference the different sides and angles so that I could replicate the wear and textures in my paint job.
Materials: PLA, acrylic paints.
Tools: Microsoft 3D Builder, Anet A8 FDM printer.
