The real Emu

This is a model with a built in stand of the brutal horror that is the Emu. This is one of the creations from my ‘Shroomiverse’, a series of creatures and creations I have put together over the years. 

The Emu is one of the most horrifying and terrible creatures on earth. If you are unlucky enough to run into one then your chance of survival is very low. These creatures are one of the oldest inhabitants of this planet and you should be thankful that they are unable to leave the planet as it is likely that spacefaring emu's would likely dominate this universe. They are not alpha predators, they are alpha hunting predators. When the dinosaurs were killed by a meteorite hitting the earth, it didn't even harm the emus. In fact the Emus were so very tough that the king Emu, greatest of all; headbutted the asteroid sending it reeling back into space. Unfortunately the explosive force of the king Emu's headbutt sent a shockwave out that destroyed the pathetic dinosaurs. 

In the early 1990s billionaire philanthropist 'Jock Hamhand' managed to trick a large group of Emu's on to a single, remote island. Hamhand believed he could make the island safe for paid visitors to see the Emu's in a safe environment. This was the creation of the famous ‘Emu park’.  Hamhand was extremely foolish, Emu's are not creatures to be trifled with. Hamhand was eaten in a single bite along with every other human on the island and the terror was only halted by the famous ‘Emu Hunter C’, a man who has dedicated his life to halting the inevitable domination of emu kind.

Obviously this is a pretty bizarre looking creature. I started drawing these guys 30+ years ago and given the thin necks and legs I was always concerned about creating a 3d model. The version I have made is fairly tough but does need supports to work. I printed in PLA and used PETG for the support interface which gave a very clean look to the model. I designed this for the H2C and in all honestly I would normally print them in bulk as that is the most cost effective way to do it. It should be printable on all Bambu printers however it is likely to be a pretty slow print.
