So a friend of mine had this idea: he's always like the look of an old timey rifle hanging over a fireplace, but for his house he wants something a little more... unique... than some ancient lever-action. And what could be a better conversation piece than a rocket launcher above the mantle?!
With that in mind, I'll be attempting to print a life-size model of an RPG-7! 
Given print volume limitations, it'll probably have to be done in four pieces (aaaaand I'll be leaving the painting up to him).
Normally we'd rely on textures to include fine details but, since that won't work with a printed model, all of the detail is actually in the mesh geometry. The model is at about 6.5 million tris already and I suspect it will be 10-12M by the time it's done!
It's been a lot of fun to work on so far and I can't wait to share some progress of the print!
P.S.: I'll make the model available as a free download when it's finished if ya wanna try one for yourself!
