   I seem to recall seeing a creation someone made of a Lego-based rapid
prototyping mill that deposited water droplets that froze on contact to build
shapes.

   Was I hallucinating? I can't find it using Google, but I suspect I'm not
searching for the right terms...

    Hey, Chris! Good to hear from you!  There was some discussion of a
rapid prototyper started a while back by Steve Baker and  I believe he
was going to attempt to use expanding 3M insulation foam, laid out in
drops as the material. Discussion of other materials ranged form hot
glue to cake icing to marzipan. Don't know if anything was ever
attempted though.  I'd still like to try also, in my copious spare time
;-) .  Water freezing could be an interesting way to go.
