title: Raw query from with in the model
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how to run a raw query from within a model.</p>
  
  <p>Let's say I have a model FOO and this model has a method which does cross table joints, grouping a bit more logic and is way to heavy for Eloquent ORM.</p>
  
  <p>What I want is the ability to call this method from controller, like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Model::method()-&gt;get()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To be honest, any other call is fine as long as I can keep the raw query inside the model and call it from controller.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to avoid is to have DB::raw() and the query itself in controller.</p>
