Undead Cat Black and Copper

Had sculpted this undead cat a while back, Heres a recent print.
Here are the first prints via shapeways:

I love shapeways, their quality and range of material options is unrivalled.. but 
- their shipping costs sometimes cost more than the cost of the print, and 
- the shipments take 2-3weeks to get to my part of the world. 
So I got my maker buddy Vincent to see if these files can be printed on one of the printers he has.. heres the first print in ABS from a Prusa -

There are some visible issues with splitting etc.. but the detail is astounding!
I'm very impressed. Took around 6+ hrs with 10% infill.
Here it is after all the cracks glued back and some copper hand painted details,
and next to the old shapeways print
If your interested in the original sculpt,
- You can see the making of video here 
- You can view it in 3d here and if you have a printer, you may download the file and have at it.
- If you don't have a printer, you can order a print via shapeways here
