A 3D printed Steampunk Telescope Project

Heres a sneak preview of progress on a Steampunk Scope. Its just the beginning.
Im beginning to appreciate the detail steampunk art requires and the insane expertise and time steampunk artists put into this art.
Google steampunk if you dont know what it is, its a fantastic artform!.
To design for 3D printing adds another level of complexity that is very time consuming.
I was hoping to use metallic-looking ABS filament I have, but it involves far to many separate parts and complex assembly, so I will probably paint instead. To paint Epic-retro-rusted is a whole world of pain in itself!, quite a challenge.
