Very cool indeed!
OK here is the result of a couple of hours work so far;
The original model kind of reminded me a bit of my Traci Lords 3D model (maybe the big nipples and the shape of her mouth I guess), so I loaded her up into Daz Studio and went about recreating the pose;

Since the object of this exercise is to end up with a 3D printed model on my desk, I can pretty much guarantee that her complex 70s-style hairdo doesn't have a cat in hell's chance of printing correctly, so I swapped it out with an old, low-poly, solid hairpiece dating back to the Poser 2 days;

OK that's better - at least there's a chance of getting a decent print from this one now. Next strep was to make the breasts larger and pose them as per the original sculpt - in particular her left breast appears to be a bit lower and falling to her left (the right of the picture), so I spent about ten minutes playing with the breast adjustments and ended up with this;

Since I don't have any Daz content for the shackles installed, I'll have to model them in seperate software, so that pretty much concluded the Daz Studio phase of the exercise, so I exported the character as an OBJ file to be loaded into my 3D modelling program (in this case, an old version of Cinema 4D, though I guess Blender would do just as well for those talented people who can figure out how to scale its vertical learning curve)

And then I modelled the posts and that thing under her (looks like it's supposed to be a fire pit or something?) This took longer than all the previous steps combined! I'm fairly happy with the results so far, but I need to do more work on the firepit. Also, I'm planning on using thin jewellery chains on the finished physical model, so I don't have to go through the trauma of trying to model every chain link individually...

Yep - quite pleased so far. Bit more detailing here and there, and once I'm happy with it, I'll convert it into a bunch of STL files and email them off to my mum's bf who will 3D print them for me
I'd love to see that Mascot Models catalogue though! I wonder if it's available online anywhere...
