Officially rebranded as “The Oscars” in 2013, the 87th Academy Awards Show took place this past Sunday, honouring cinematic achievements in 30 categories.
Every since the first Award show took place in May 1929, nearly 3,000 of the in Hollywood much desired, gold plated statuettes have been awarded. The 34 cm (13.5 inch) tall Oscar statuette depicts a knight holding a sword and stands on a reel of film.

Nick printed the 2 parts in just over 2 hours with bronzefill filament. It then took him probably double the time to sand, polish and spray paint the 3D printed award. Check out the great result:
