- If you did not have a black colored filament
- Use any color and paint it with black acrylic color
- Leave it to dry for a 12 hour
- Because I used Tinkercad, the edges are not smooth, we can see the grid lines.
- This helps us for getting texture painting
- Dry brush golden paint to finish
- Apply varnish / clear coat spray
We are done. now we have a unique, one of a kind abstract elephant statue
