My 3D Printed Sandcastle
30DBC - 23rd January - Prompt: You have a choice between building a giant snow fort or sand castle...big enough to live in. Which one would you pick, how would you do it, and what would it look like?

Ohhh I thought I only had two posts to write. I thought I was less shit at keeping up than I actually am. What a ball ache. Made worse by the fact that I really don't like this prompt! *Headbang*

I have stuff I want to do today... whether or not I do any of it, totally depends on my brain and if it feels like working or not. Basically, I have no idea what today will bring. That's how my life goes at the moment and I kinda hate it. *Angry* I'll let you know.

This is a slightly unfair prompt as, being British, I will never have the materials to perform such a task. If we are lucky, we get just enough snow to build a snow penis... and that's a small snow penis. And, our beaches are shit (and nowhere near me). So, it'd be more like a filthy rock castle than a sand castle.

Let's see... the best snowman I've ever built looked something like this:



And the best sandcastle I've ever built looked something like this:



Impressive, huh? I know you're impressed.

In truth, the real reason I don't like this prompt is because snow and sand are the two things I hate the most. Snow is cold. I hate being cold. Sand gets everywhere. Ick. Therefore, there are 250,000,000 I'd rather be doing than playing with snow or sand.

However, given that I'm being forced to choose... I choose to make a sandcastle on the basis that sand hopefully = warm.

My awesome sand castle would look like this:



To build it, I would need:

*SandDollar* Sand
*SandDollar* Glue
*SandDollar* A giant 3D printer

I would 3D print the castle, then get other people to cover it in sand.

You didn't say it had to be built of sand.

BOOM... hello sandcastle!
