Update on my 3D printed túngara frog: I made it a miniature diorama

I've had plans to do a frog diorama like this for years but never initiated it. Until this week! Allow me to present the Túngara frog miniature diorama! The frog was printed on an Anycubic photon mono M5S in clear resin and painted using acrylic paint (golden high flow acrylics) with an air brush and paint brush. The stand was printed on a CR10S in PLA. I added spackling compound into the stand and while it was still soft, added sand, leaves, sticks, and small rocks into its surface. Once it was cured, I painted it to look like the bottom of a muddy puddle. I glued the frog into the position I wanted before pouring the two part epoxy into the stand (and crossing my fingers that it worked out and all that work wasn't about to be ruined.) If you want to try to print and paint one yourself, the file for the frog is available on my website and if there's interest, I'll add stand files to my website too (as a free model).
