This is a 2-part project to create a 1:18 diorama of the Tanis map room located inside the "Well of Souls" from the Indiana Jones "Raiders of the Lost Ark" movie.
We'll start the tour at the stone slab area (the slab where Indiana Jones has to find the correct hole in which to place the Staff of Ra to get the correct location of the Ark): It is a 3d-printed playset which is printed in three separate pieces which are then screwed together into a solid piece. Notice any seams? One screw reached a little too far toward the surface, so I need to use shorter screws next time: Fortunately, it's not very noticeable. And then the actual map buildings themselves. I have them clustered into modular groups for easier placement and organization: I haven't yet finished every building in the map room, but two notable items are absent from these photos. First, the fairly large trapezoidal building with columns all around the sides of the building. It's a huge building and it sits right in the middle of the shot for a lot of those scenes with the buildings. I tried printing it once and it failed to print properly so I hadn't tried again for a long time. Second, the cluster of buildings with two seated statues that sits right in front of that trapezoidal building I just mentioned. Both pieces are pretty prominently shown in the movie but are missing here. I have now finished the models for both of those pieces but I have not yet printed them (actually, they are on the printer right now). Since I've sold off the other buildings already I won't be able to photograph them all in one place unless and until I print another one for sale. But I will add photos of those two pieces by themselves once they are done printing, assuming the print goes well.
There are also a number of small, relatively nondescript buildings that are missing from the right-hand side of the map room that you've probably never noticed before no matter how many times you've watched the movie. I may get around to adding them as well one day but for now I've done as many as I feel like doing. Laid out correctly, this diorama ends up being over 28 inches long and around 8 or 9 inches wide. It just needs some hieroglyphed stone walls and some sand to be a truly complete diorama. If anyone is interested in owning one of these, send me a PM here on the 'Tank. Otherwise (for you lurkers) you can always see of I have it in-stock on my eBay listings here: 1:18 Scale Indiana Jones Tanis Map Room Buildings: Indiana Jones Lost Ark Custom 1:18 City of Tanis Map Room Play Set (Modular) | eBay 1:18 Scale Indiana Jones Well of Souls Stone Slab and Stairs: Indiana Jones Raiders Lost Ark Custom 1:18 Well of Souls Map Room Play Set RTLA

Ok, this is just simply terrific! Now I need you to become a major manufacturer with the resulting economies of scale so I can maybe afford one. Seriously though, kudos!

I had to modify and re-print the statue buildings part, but I now have successful prints of the last two building clusters I had planned:
