Jimi was asked to give some garden gnomes a makeover. No problem! With his trusty 3D-printer, he fixed some snapped extremities and gave each gnome a fresh coat of (improved) paint.

Murderous madman
Before: Murderous gnome’s knife is broken!
Murderous madman gnome with hockey mask now has a repaired knife covered in blood dropplets
After: That’s better. Bloody knife reattached and “Evil Gnomes” highlighted amongst other improvements in shading and detail.
Angry gnome, giving the middle finger, has faded paint on his face and cap
Before: Faded and dull, this mean gnome is just misunderstood.
Angry gnome, sticking up his middle finger, is richly colored with a ginger beard, blue cap, and "Go Away" clearly written on a sign in front of him
After: Now this is an angry gnome! You can’t ignore his sign, his ginger beard, or his bright blue cap. GO AWAY!

Before: Angry? Maybe. Threatening? Nah.

After: LOOK OUT and say hello to his little friend! This gnome, with his salt-and-pepper beard and bright clothing, is ready to protect his stash.
The Gnomenator stands with pistol raised towards the ceiling. He wears dark glasses and has grey clothing along with a unzipped leather jacket revealing his pecs
Before: Gotta admit this Gnominator is a badass already, but…

After: Popping the detail with higher contrast, the upgraded Gnominator even has his designation, CSM-101 on his glasses. He’ll be back… in your garden.

Before: This gnomish master of Zen can only teach us so much with one of his middle fingers missing.
A refreshed gnome in a zen-like state, sits in the lotus position and gives us his wisdom -- two raised middle fingers
After: Now his true teachings can begin, with his restored finger and higher contrast coating of paint.

A bit of different style of figurine, this Elfin Ranger is a bust that Jimi printed (on a Photon S 3D printer) for a friend. The original file was downloaded from Thingiverse.
