It was my final Project in my Engineering class and I wanted to do something that relates to my interests and what I like to do in my spare time.
Supplies

Any 3D Printing software and a 3D Printer.
Problems and Contraints

My first problem was not being able to find any reference images or blueprints or any way of starting my drawing process. But I kept searching and I found this sticker to use as a reference
Research

After I had my side view of what I wanted to do I needed to find the front and back view of my project so I came across these two images. Then I put them in and started Modeling
Modeling

So for this step, you need to put in your reference photo on one sketch of the face you want to draw on then you need to make another sketch on that same face to start tracing over your object
Extruding/Making It 3D

Once you have your image fully traced out you will have to select all the pieces you want a certain with and extrude them all as one but make sure to have, Symettric selected.
Detailing

After you have extruded you will go back and trace over any detail and extrude it to a measurement that's .05 or larger depending on what it is you need to extrude.
Finished Product

After adding all of your detail and miscellaneous stuff you can go ahead and save it as a STL file and export it to your 3D printer and print it out.
