You wouldn't happen to have the STL for that beauty would you?
Yes I am one of the few bachelors here. I can get away with it...:)
It is based on this:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:650768 I will always be grateful to Bomgkolyadun, he published a few more nice models on Thingiverse.
I cut it into 4-5 sections using Netfabb, then enlarged those 4x (I think). I then worked to reduce the file sizes to about 23 MB (Davinci otherwise crashes) using Simplify3D by reducing the infill to about 8%, saving material and time, but makes the model a bit brittle.
Used two printers simultaneously (the 1.0 and Duo) printing for about 40 hrs. Make sure they are on a UPS just in case of a freak storm. I had one leg print fail because of a power loss, restarted and need to shorten the leg section by about 3-4 mm to be proper. Now each printer has its own dedicated UPS. Glued it temporarily for now since it helps with the anger management when something fails on the Duo to look at that model and see what nice things it can create. Somehow looking at it is nicer than looking at model trains wagons and locomotive shells.
I will publish the STL's once I get home. There are still issues with the hair that I need to resolve and sand the joints on the body, put some plastic model filler then paint.
Looks very good overall. You may also want to look at this one:

Same technique, came out very nice. I should print a life size one
