Not so much of a remix, more of an addition!
In order to make the trophy look more like the real deal after I had made it, I studied a couple of photographs and came up with a base as shown in my photograph.
The base will accommodate the original model scaled to 80% or maybe a wee bit more and is 27mm tall.
I swapped filament twice as the base was being printed - green, gold and then green again to get close to the original trophy.
Once I had printed it out, it then occurred to me that I should be able to add the text as well which is what I did .... but didn't print (as I already had a plain base and didn't want another). Instead, I took the text and printed this separately before gluing onto my base which is what you can see here.
EDIT (14th June)
Since printing my original, I have reworked the base to reduce the amount of filament needed. The new photo - the one with the embossed text "built in" rather than stuck on, weighs in at around 30g and prints without support as I suspected. (Infill 10%).
