It's pretty much just sitting there retracted right now.
 
There was a large group of people gathered. On one side of the group stood Jesus. On the other side stood Satan.

Separating them was a fence running through the group.

The scene set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to people in the group. One by one, each having made up his or her own mind, went to either Jesus or to Satan. This kept going for some time.

Soon enough, Jesus had gathered around him a group of people from the larger crowd, as did Satan.

One man did not join either group. He climbed the fence that was there and sat on it.

Jesus and his group of people left and disappeared; and, so also did Satan and his group of people.

The man on the fence sat alone. As this man sat there, Satan came back, appearing to be looking for something which he had lost.

The man said, "Have you lost something?"

Satan looked straight at him and replied, "No, there you are; come with me.”

The man said, “But, I sat on the fence. I chose neither you nor him."

Satan said, "That's okay; I own the fence.”

Hey @kingranch2003 here's a basic design I just drew up to print.

1768521880869.png


It's about a 5° - 10° (I don't feel like breaking out math and figuring it out) and an inch wide platform. I figured an inch is enough contact, at least for temporary.

Also, it's around 2" tall and I think my sand is about 2"-2.5" at that location so I can just push it into the sand so it's a half inch or so above it. I'm likely printing it in black or dark grey but might do white - nothing overly bright or colorful that will detract from the Scoly.

Man that looks great! Id say 1" of contact is plenty as well. Usually it's more of the upper part of the skeleton that widens as it grows anyways. The base seems plenty wide enough to keep the scoly from tipping.

Great stuff man! Id own one!
 
Well these Mississippi towns are ready for some snow!

I hope Mississippi doesn't have a complete dumpster fire of a Philadelphia like we do. They could level that trash heap and lose absolutely nothing.
