The Rust Monster first appeared in (Orignal) Dungeons and Dragons Supplement I: Greyhawk in 1975. It was based on a small plastic toy that Gary Gygax found in a bag of small plastic monsters made in Hong Kong.
In the original box, the Rust Monster arrived as a 2-piece model that required assembly. I did not disassemble my original in order to scan it.
This model was a pain to generate. The original is poorly weighted, so it always leans back on its tail. This created a hole in the bottom of the tail when I scanned it, which I had to fill in. It also meant that I couldn't use the base of the scan to coincide with the build plate, so I had to do a lot of work on the bottom of the model as well. The result is a model that stands on its feet better than the original.

If you use supports, be careful when removing them. The bottom part of the tail of my model came off with the support material and I had to glue it back on.
