Is there one model that sells the idea of RP better than any other

how about: real bottle, real tree, looped rings & large thin curved
surface?
I agree with David with one exception, Anybody ever try to build a
relief model of an M. C. Esher art work? Better yet, a full 3D
version.
Why limit ourselves to the improbable, when the impossible is more
impressive.
In my position I am responsible for selling the technology to the
CEO's and Chief Engineers of other corporate divisions, as well as our
customers and vendors. The vast majority of the people I present RP
to are more interested in working or functional prototypes of real
products than curiosity trinkets.
I also have a few improbable parts that I built to demonstrate the
technology but they are not sales tools because the decision makers
are more likely to be practical people, and they sign the checks.
Sorry if I'm raining on your parade Elaine.
