Okay, I've finally gotten off my butt and am getting the following things made. The O-man said he'd assist me in getting these done in metal.
If everything goes to plan, I'll be making a bunch of these for my own use. Do any of you out there in internetland think you could find a use for some as well? If so, which ones seem most interesting.
I think I've post these before, but I've had to redo alot of things that I did wrong the first few times.

I'm not normally a fan of the space elf concept, but Jim's work has me rubbing my hands together. In anticipation.

I would be interested in the cannons and the rendering hammer. I also like the last pictured weapons arm.

I would certainly be able to find a use for those!
I would personally be interested in any space elfin armor that you might choose to create.
On an unrelated note, it's been bothering me: Isn't it a shame that all the GW Eldar AVs are so out of date? And that the only ones FW still sells are the Wave Serpent and Firestorm? I wish there were an alternative manufacturer of Falcon-like hulls and various turrets and other dodads, but I just can't find one I'm satisfied with.

I'd be really interested in seeing some kind of model for a space elves walker. I would imagine it without a pilot but rather imbued with its own spirit by some kind of techno-magical trick the Space elves could pull out.
If I Recall Correctly Grandma Wendy actually produced some nice proxy for such a model some time ago, but it definitely doesn't look as good as their current embigened proxy.
I don't know if I'm wishing in the right place though.
Those platform looks fantastic anyway... I already have a lot of Space Elves minis to work on however, so i'm not sure if i'll need some additional platform in a reasonable amount of time. Very nice job though.

Ugh, I was hoping no one would bring up those walkers.
Aside from the fact that I feel like they are on a higher level (both from an artistry point of view and from a technical one) than any thing I've done so far, I haven't quite figured out how to make those work. I worry that in order to make them look right their legs will be too skinny, and if I thicken up the legs it might upset the overall look of the part.
I have drawn up a new head for the robot walker, and antenna wings for the piloted walker, but those are really just meant to help the currently available 6mm parts look like more like the older 28mm versions (and not the newest versions). I haven't shown those off because I don't think those are actually castable, because they are rediculously small.
Still, those current 28mm walkers are something I want to do, but I figure they are lower on the list than other stuff, like new tank turrets and human buildings that I showed off and never followed through on.

So, things are progressing slowly on these, but they are moving forward.
I'd like to poll the opinion of the community on something, with regards to the 3 big gun variants. Even though there are only rules for one of the variants, I personally want models of all three in rough equal amounts.
But, I was wondering what the rest of you (the ones that are interested in acquiring these big guns) thought. Should I produce equal numbers of each type [1:1:1 ratio], or should I produce more of the one type that has rules [2:1:1 or 3:1:1 or whatever]?
Also, during the E:40k era, GW made heavy weapon parts for all of the heavy weapon types except the shuricannons. I want some. How many of you are as OCD as me?
I'm trying to avoid having leftover bits that noone wants.
