All the other bottle sets have now been uploaded. This includes the Modern Soda Bottles set, Glass Coca-Cola Bottles, and the new Bottles set (with better proportions). And I'm still looking for someone to review my M256 barrel model for accuracy.

What about 1/35 Slave cables
1/72, 1/48 modern aircraft seated pilots.
1/72 modern paratroopers and aircrew
Sorry for late reply. I didn't see your post until an hour ago. I just finished the slave cable ends. I can't provide the actual cable, though. And currently, figures are out of my reach. I'd love to be able to do figures but unfortunately they are too advanced for me at the moment.

The new water bottle and soda can looks great. I was wonder if there will be any other modern cargo items in 1/16? I purchased your 1/16 SINCGARS for the trumpeter M-ATV, which I have yet to use, but I still need the radio.
Can these water bottles and soda cans be made into 1/16 option as well?
I didn't realize it but I didn't actually have a 1/16 SINCGARS radio set available. I've now just uploaded the actual SINCGARS radios in 1/16. And yeah the bottles can be scaled up.
The NEW bottles sets, the cans set, the General Purpose First Aid Kit set and the NATO Slave Cable Ends set all now include a 1/16 counterpart.

Mike,
The Trimble Nomad and weather station arrived yesterday, they came out great, as did the SINCGARS. Top notch work!

Thank you for the kind words.
I've been trying to work the Bailey Bridge project but I'm having a difficult time doing it. I find conflicting numbers, like the height of the bearings, and the resources I have isn't giving me really good information to model off of. I'd really like to be able to make this project happen but I'm having a hell of a time getting it off the ground.

I was editing and time expired. This is what I have to add:
I've got a single bearing modeled now. I've been finding varying inconsistencies in measurements left and right. To model the bearing, I used measurements taken from a document titled Extra Wide Bailey Bridge - Normal Uses, provided by Brian O'Donoghue, which showed the bearing being 3.875 inches high. This was the smallest value in all the documents I have (most of which were provided by Brian, thank you again) ranging from 98.5 mm to 140 mm. If anyone wants I can simply pattern this part out enough and sell it as a set. At least it's a start on the bridge.

I just uploaded a new model of the "1/35 Cans" set. This set includes few cans but is more affordable. There are now 64 cans instead of 100. I'm also starting work on a new project of a new remote weapons system.

Mike, I was talking to a buddy on FB about his M577 build and he showed me a spool of wire he made for it. It made me remmeber some more "commo" equipment that you possibly could design.

TA-312 can probably be done. I just need to do a bit more research on it to find dimensions and whatnot. TA-954/TT can not be done right now. I can't find dimensions for it. A reference I found, a TM listed on Radionerds, is listed as restricted distribution. I am able to do the TA-1042A/U, though.

Ah I see. Wow, 100k. Thanks for all the support and requests.
I have seen that picture in a manual I have but it's lost somewhere in all the documents I have. And I also have that manual. I haven't seen that link though. Thank you. I'll definitely be able to use it.

Good to know, I'll get working on that instead. I've also recently finished a LS-684/U speaker. I'm currently patterning it out and it's nearly finished.

Thanks for the heads up Mike. I pushed the button on some of your offerings that had been sitting in the "cart". Amounts to free shipping for me. Appreciate the notice

No problem. I'll try to post up more sales when Shapeways makes them available.
I also have a new shot of the new project.

Just to let you guys know, later today (4/11) I will be announcing what the project I've been working on is. It isn't finished yet but it's nearly there. Only a few more areas need work. I will say it goes well the M-ATV and other MRAPs.

OK, what is it? I think I see two TOW tubes, some sights, and remote cameras, but have no idea what it is.

cool, loads of possibilities with this one.
Pardon my ignorance, is it of a real system Michael?

Yep, two TOW, 3 DRS Driver's Vision Enhancer Wide cameras, and a DRS Technologies PS2 sight. It's the Moog Remote Integrated-weapons Platform. Yes it is real but it isn't in service with any military (as far as I know). The model I have here will be equipped with an M2 on a Mk 93 cradle. I will not be modeling the M2 or the Mk 93 cradle. The cradle I've gone to someone else to model. For the M2 I will recommend either Live Resin's base M2 set or J-Shape's M2 set (if you prefer it 3D printed).
I can also model a few other variants based on this including a version with a Bushmaster M242 cannon.

Brilliant Michael, I will definately support this with a few purchases. Bushmaster would be cool too. also allows a tap into the What-if areana also.

Picture of the rear of the model.
And info. The model will consist of a total of 9 parts. The parts are:
1 turret base with turret ring mount
1 turret body
1 motor housing
1 DRS PS2 sight housing
1 rotating weapons platform
1 dual-TOW assembly
2 Driver's Vision Enhancer Wide
1 Driver's Vision Enhancer
Both the TOW assembly and weapons platform can move. But they move together.
The model is nearly finished. I'm just waiting for someone to send me a usable model of the Mk 93 cradle.

Here's the instruction PDF for the RIwP.

The model is now live! It's available in the shop. I'll be purchasing one to test it out and check everything.
