This is my homage to the classic Alien Blaster designs (most recently the one from the computer game FPS Fallout 3)

 

This is made with exactly 3 sets of 216.

 

No build break-down on this dynamic design which started out with the main body shape, then handle, trigger, and finger guard, then the barrel sections, and finally the top section. It took around 3 attempts of redesign to get the final product using a build as you go a few balls and layers at a time.

 

This is a larger enhanced version of my original Alien Blaster design from 2011
