I figured I would start up a thread to share progress on my 1:18 scale 3d-modeled diorama parts. All designs will be made available on my Shapeways shop. If there is something you'd like to see in 1:18 scale for diorama use, feel free to make suggestions.
I already have a chess board and security access palm scanner, but I'm not stopping there. First up on my project development schedule is an array of monitors, complete with articulation: When assembled it will stand about 1.5" tall and a bit over 3.75" wide. I have a test print in progress, so we'll see how that turns out pretty soon. My biggest worries are whether or not the arm can support the weight of the screens without flexing, and whether or not there will be enough friction in the hinge joints to keep the arm truly able to be posed. The design for this multi-monitor setup is based on this real-world item: And next up on my list of things is an articulated "robotic" arm for laboratory use. I plan for my design to look something like these when it's done: It will have working hinges and swivels so it should have range of motion just like the real thing. Stay tuned if this is your kind of thing. I hope to be doing quite a lot of diorama bits and pieces especially if the articulation methods I have in mind end up working as expected. There are things I have always wanted to be able to have in Joe scale and 3d printing has brought that within my reach.

Awesome! Those robotic arms might be good for a B.A.T. factory too.

Just a few suggestions here: A weapons storage rack. Winches. A toolbox with tools inside. Welding set ups. And battlefield robots.

Thanks guys.
Hmm...I can take this either as hyperbole or sarcasm. I'll go with hyperbole! Quote:
Here is today's progress shot. It has some scaling issues and the middle block is a stand-in for the amorphous blob in the real thing that will take me a mental minute for me to figure out how to model...that bulge...ugh. But here is the robotic arm model in progress:
