Description
My new sculpture-design. Created by way of plasticine, silicone mold, plaster and polyurethane resin. Very hard work, but many new experiences with a modeling materials. I worked on trilobite for the long term (2 years with long breaks).Thanks for watching!

If they had this kind of armor, these guys would never have gone extinct. Β Long ago, I identified a new genus of trilobite for my MS thesis. Β Since I was a child these have been my favorite invertebrate group. Β Fun fact: trilobites were the first class of organisms to have a compound eye. Before that time (earliest Cambrian) creatures only had eye spots.

This would be a great model design for robot vacuum cleaners.

Love it! That's a brilliant idea and well executed.

Almost like a trilobite-shaped spaceship.

Seriously awesome! Β Now just install an AI that leads it to create more of its kind, and we're done ^_^
Seriously. Β Whenever I imagine self-replicating robot swarms, this is the kind of stuff I see them as.

Looks great.
Why didn't you make it out of metal?

Thank you. I did not have the means to do it (bronze, foundry, etc.). I needed to have something like a matrix and then to make a casting of metal. Perhaps in the future will produce bronze and aluminium castings. Working with resin is also simpler.

3D printing would be another option and from that "original" a mold could be taken.
I love creatures with plate armor and will attempt a trilobite too at some point.I am inspired by your piece.I was able to do a pill bug and a chiton using scrap pieces from laser-cutting.The plate armor aspect really lends itself well to robots of bio-mimicry...

Wow. I give you props for this. This is stunning! Almost looks like a terminator trilobite.

Thank you. Maybe some ancient technology ...

You're welcome! Perhaps they existed all along...

Very beautiful, great work, must really have been a pain to skulpt this

Thank you for comment, yes, sculpting was little difficult. Mainly due to the detail size.

Which fossil did you base it on or it is the general version?

I don't use any specific fossil or reference.
