Fountain of Salmacis

As the dawn creeps up the sky
The hunter caught sight of a doe.
In desire for conquest,
He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before.

As promised, this month is ancient Greece/myths theme, and I'm using this opportunity to do a tribute to one of my favourite pieces from Genesis (the bit from 3:14 in particular), with some Hoplites on top.

New supportless models:

- a terrain piece - spring with pool, acting here as a spring of Salmacis

- young hunter with javelin/spear (playing the role of Hermaphroditus)

- doe

- Naiad, Greek water nymph

- 2 Hoplites with spear

- Hoplite with sword

get them in the repository (new link!)

I usually avoid models with single thin bits sticking out, if you're experiencing too much warping on the spears in FDM, print 2 models at a time to allow the filament to cool down before a new layer.

I'm going away for a week, my ladyfriend finally gets some vacation after a difficult year, see you soon.
