Where are you going to go from this creative first build?

Perhaps a sprinkler valve cannon?

I hear nail polish bottles fit some barrels :)

Orange Blossom is a bit misleading don't ya think?

Person: Oh my it's so cute, can I touch?
KRN: Yeah sure go ahead, it wont bite, it's called Orange Blossom
Person: Oh must be perfectly safe and friendly then, lemme just have a look in the barrel while I fire it... :roll:
