"So, I'm 3D printing this Pipe Pistol (Model by lilykill, available on MyMiniFactory.[www.myminifactory.com]) and I've got over a dozen hours of printing in it-- with dozens more hours ahead, followed by the unavoidable #UnlimitedSandingWorks --when I realize, "Well ♥♥♥♥. I could just walk in the other room and MAKE A REAL ONE in a couple of hours with the materials and machine tools I have..." soooo, yeah. Who knows? Maybe I'll do that, too! A project for another day, I think. (Though I could probably complete it during one of these prints... T__T)

My life has become endless stretches of laboriously sanding plastic parts, punctuated by the occasional need to eat, and sleep... orz

EDIT: I should mention, it isn't nearly finished yet. (I sort of said that above but it wasn't stated clearly) Quite a few parts to go yet, and then I'm going to sand and prime the hell out of, and eventually paint and weather it."
