Thanks! I love that color.

Not a bad way to find greeblies either, <3

Just use the frosting recipe on your favorite chocolate cookie recipe instead.

The glass method of 'smashing' the cookies didn't work terribly well, but I did figure out you need to 'twist' the glass after the smooshing step to get a good release.

These also needed more than the stated baking time

Oh, except just like earlier I forgot a step before baking: press the cookies one way with a fork, then perpendicular to the first press, to get a crosshatch pattern and flatten them out so they bake faster. Without flattening they were faaaar from being done at 10 mins.

I'd wear an oft-patched spacesuit, tooling around the yard on the spaceship equivalent of a golf cart, taking inventory, figuring out what I can #salvage & what should be recycled. In a workshop that smells of grease and ozone, I make up stories about my customers and sell them through a tiny 'zine.

I'm not a big fan of the 'glue gears to it' steampunk style, so if I ever try another version of this I'd want to put actual functional mechanisms on it instead, or at least greeblies that appear to contribute towards firing the thing. My 3D printer ought to help, instead of relying on random junk.

For anyone interested in materials/process, I used #Duplicolor #Metalcast #paint for the purple & probably vinyl dye for all the black parts (it dyes plastic instead of coating it so it can't chip or be scratched.)

I used masking tape to help me paint pieces multiple colors & a silver paint pen.
