It walks, fires...it's just marvelous

To see it in action:

Yep, its official..AWESOME!
At first i thought it was one of those giant Easter eggs you can buy in the store and just had stuff added to it. Thinking "hey, i got one of those sitting right here on the floor of my hobby room."
Once i saw i was wrong, and it was entirely 3D printed and has moving parts i realized just how that is such on a level that i dont know i can every comprehend on my own.. :-)

As far as I can see in the site, there's isn't a set price, at least for now.

Although I do love his statement of increasing the price of each subsequent piece by 2% to "preserve the previous buyers' investment" and to maintain his artistic integrity.

Still, this is a remarkable piece - the moving guns are absolutely adorable, and I am fascinated by the engineering skill that went into the concept and design. Not 100% sure if it convinces me as a 3W1 period piece, but overall, I find it hard to find fault with it.

I'd love to see it irritate a cat, mind.
