I received another batch of prints yesterday and took some time today to get some photos. First up, here is the articulated version of the Robotic Manipulator Arm.
I haven't fully inserted the thickest arm into the first elbow piece yet. I want to do some smoothing of the surfaces first, but the articulation works! Even the "fingers" can be moved:

Next up, we have the basic 1:18 podium:
I haven't gotten back to the creating a version with swappable logos just yet, but I plan to make logo pieces for Friends of Humanity, Cobra, Extensive Enterprises, a generic "office of the mayor," and the US Presidential seal.

And the 1:18 female marble bust came out beautifully:
Placed on the Jurassic World Maisie "wooden" base for the T-Rex skull...this really makes it pop: And for scale, it seems to have hit the desired "life-sized" mark for 1:18 figures:

Last, but not least, the 1:18 desktop computer bundle:
And I also made the articulated 1:18 monitor array version available as well. Here's the PC bundle with the monitor array:

Here is a quick WIP render of one of the buildings that will be part of a cityscape map table (it still needs a penthouse added to it and the lettering needs to be adjusted):
Here it is alongside some of its neighbors:

I'm working on an idea for some 1:18 rifle sling hardware. The sling "clip" and slider are designed to accept a 1/8" strip of material (hockey tape, Lego sail, or whatever you use in your own shop). Here is a version I am tinkering with that includes an integrated sling mount ring (the idea being that you drill a hole in the rifle and glue the peg on the ring into place):
Dimensions and design are not yet final. I am just feeling out the layout and clearance needed. While we're on the topic, I had the idea to use 1/8" rubber strips (bicycle inner tube material or "ranger band" material) to lace through these sling clips and sliders. The trouble is, I can't find any sources for material like that (I posted a thread here asking for input). Any ideas?

Use 2mm silk ribbon for making rifle slings. It’s the perfect size and you only need to cut for length.

https://www.threadart.com/product/96...SABEgJ5_fD_BwE In the meantime, I am working on some ammo cans. I will be modeling these three:
First, the PA-108 'Fat 50'. No lid yet, but the basic can for this one is done except for the hinge on the other end: I'm building it from the can up and leaving the possibility of making it articulated. Hence the under-the-clasp detail and the "crimped" lip at the top. With a lid in place you won't see any of that detail except the pull handle. I am leaning heavily toward just making empty static shells with lids fixed in place though. At this scale, by the time you build in a working hinge and thicken the walls you won't have much space at all left inside the can anyway.

The hinge plate is in place now with some hinges roughed in and a rough lid outline to top it off:
I think I have a workable idea for a hinge on this ammo can so once I finish modeling the lid I'll start an articulation attempt. I'll probably make a pure 1:18 scale version and a slightly distorted articulated version.
