Pipe-Smoking Garden Gnome Figure

A pipe-smoking garden gnome, pointed hood pulled low over a river of beard. Forget the "lattice panel" label — this model is a full standing character. He wears a tall floppy cap that folds over his brow, a wide-eyed cheerful face half-lost in a long combed beard, and a buttoned tunic cinched by a square-buckled belt over rolled-cuff trousers and soft boots. One hand is raised to his mouth cradling a stubby pipe, the other hangs loose at his side. The sculpt has real texture: individual beard strands, fabric folds, and the little peg buttons down his front. He's a classic mantel-and-mantelpiece charmer — print him as a shelf ornament, a painted garden or windowsill figure, a whimsical gift for a keen gardener, or scale him down for a fairy-garden or tabletop scene. Print notes: • Resin (SLA/DLP) captures the beard and buttons best; if running FDM, use 0.12 mm layers and a 0.4 mm or finer nozzle. • Print upright on the flat feet. You'll want tree supports under the raised forearm, the pipe hand, and the underside of the cap fold. • The pipe is a thin bridge — check that spot after removal and reprint the stem alone if it's fragile. • Prime grey, then block in cap and tunic colours; a brown wash sunk into the beard grooves makes the whole face pop.
