The rings on the bed in this shot belong to some of the other students in my class.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m mentioning it again because today I get to go pick up my actual printed wax ring! I&#8217;m going to bring it home and photograph it (and show it off to TurboNerd) before I get it cast. If I do get it cast &#8211; I kinda like the colour and texture of the wax, though it&#8217;s not really very stable for wear.<\/p>\n<p>Will the wax melt on this warm spring day and destroy our heroine&#8217;s Rino-assisted vision? Can she get the model home without breaking it (unlike her &#8216;baby analogue&#8217; egg that was squashed before first siren back in year 7&#8230; Its &#8216;hair&#8217; got caught in the zipper of it&#8217;s &#8216;safety pouch&#8217; [read bum-bag]&#8230;)?
