Some story about the Night of the Radishes in Oaxaca City:
The
tradition of Night of Radishes born in the market for Christmas Eve
where was offered salted fish as food for this important day in the
Catholic faith. Traders and horticulturists Trinidad de las Huertas, now
a neighborhood within the city of Oaxaca, used to cut and sculpt these
radishes and adorn with flowers, which were exhibited in market stalls.
People started buying them as decoration for the food table of the night
of the 24 and because of the wit and beauty of the creations, was born
the tradition of these long radishes in a myriad of shapes and forms
emerged.
The size is 35 cms aprox long, and 22 cms wide aprox.

Some tips:
The best paper for printing is a card paper, in Mexico we use "Opaline" , is good using 125g but best 225g.
The model is designed to fit all the page, so try to print in a option like "fit to page", some printers may change the printing results affecting a little the size and tone of the color, but using a fit to page option in all of them will result in a good model.
For black and withe models, the best option is to print them in a laser printer, also we had a very good results using inkjet printer.
Once you have finished building your mask, you may like to protect it from the dust and the humidity, so it is always good to give it a touch of transparent spray or transparent lacquer.
You can print the model several times, if you make a mistake in one piece, just print another.
