Yes! Please share some photos!
I wish you all the best Culus and hope you can share something with us of your experience.
here's a modern 3d crucifixion by Homoeros. I like a lot of the features of this crux. The photographer making a record of the event, the woman with the clipboard/tablet, the impersonal way they go about their business, the viewing public with their camera. Note the use of a nail gun, too.
I read in a older Polly Plummer story also over use of a nail gun.
I believe, that here is this story. "Modern Judicial Crucifixion"

I would gladly give myself up for crucifixion if there was someone close enough to take me.

Thank you Sir for your good wishes. This will be my third outdoor crucifixion and the first where I will hang alongside others and in front of a crowd . My Master has been training me and had me on a more healthy diet and exercise regimen and I feel ready for the experience, although I am still anxious about the length of time I will be tied to the cross and being naked for an audience of several dozen spectators, my body displayed and leaving nothing to the imagination. I'm comfortable being crucified in private by my Master but this will take things to a whole new level.

Meh. I'm going to nitpick, because the more I look at these renderings, the more problems come to mind.
Problem the first: The subject is going along with this very willingly. In the first image, he's not restrained at all. In the second, no one's holding the left arm (the one being nailed) or either leg, and the guard on the right arm appears to be resting his hands lightly on the arm rather than throwing his weight onto it. Homoeros may have wanted to show as much body as possible, which wouldn't have worked very well if the subject had been under a dog-pile of guards. But a few strips of Velcro around forearms, upper arms, and thighs would've held him to the cross in a realistic way without ruining the view.
Problem numero dos: The nail gun. If you've just captured Jerusalem and need to crucify a lot of people in a hurry so that you can move on to beseige Masada, you might have to sacrifice cruelty for efficiency. With a single subject or a small group, there's no need for that. Use the nailing as an occasion to play with the subject. With his arms well restrained, bring the first nail in slowly and deliberately. Give it a few very light taps with the hammer to concentrate his attention, and to let him anticipate the first real blow. Once that falls, pace the hammer-blows out deliberately, with a second or two between them. Give him time to feel the pain of each blow before the next one comes. Much more effective, and more productive of crowd-pleasing writhing and struggling, than "BANG! There's the first nail in".
Third problem: We never see whether the feet are nailed at all, but if they are, it's while the subject is hanging from the nails through his wrists. That's counterproductive. A good crucifixion should be a crescendo of pain: The first nail goes into the wrist, and the subject deals with the pain of the nailing. Before the nail through the second wrist is driven into the pilot hole in the crossbar, the arms are pulled tight, against that first nail, giving the subject a small foretaste of what it'll be like when his weight's on the wrist nails. The nail through the first ankle goes through solid bone, and with every blow of the hammer the subject involuntarily pulls his arms against the nails in the wrists. We hold the foot so that the heel's slightly off the ground; that way, when the nail's in, it's bearing the whole weight of the leg, and the only way for the subject to relieve that pain is by straining his thigh and stomach to hold the leg slightly up. Ditto the second ankle, and then we step aside and let the subject lie there, trying to ease the pain by pushing his arms outward and raising his legs—a hard position to hold, and one that makes the muscles in the thighs and stomach stand out for the viewing pleasure of the spectators. Then we raise the cross; his body slides down it, bringing his weight onto the nails in the wrists; he tries to relieve them by pushing with his legs, which aggravrates the pain in the ankles and makes him let go, dropping onto the wrists again...
Nailing the feet while the subject's hanging from the crossbar interferes with that. We hang him from the nails through his wrists; then, instead of letting him focus on that pain, we start nailing the feet. The two sources of pain interfere with one another, and we get a jumble of unpleasant sensations instead of the steady buildup to the climactic moment when the cross drops into the posthole and our boy starts coming to terms with the reality of being crucified.
As a matter of personal taste, I agree with a comment that Tygorn made in response to another posting of Homoeros images: one wishes that his subjects looked more like actual human beings than muscle-magazine covers, and that their genitalia was more like what I've typically seen in a long career of surreptitious locker-room ogling , and less like something out of a livestock auction. But that's me: Homoeros is presumably depicting guys of the sort who excite him, and if I don't like it, I should develop some artistic talent myself. Which Homoeros definitely has: the facial expressions, supporting characters, and backgrounds are great.
It's a fantasy, Frost, I suppose that excuses some of your objections. He doesn't resist, which is odd. There are other pics, which show his arrest and sentence and abuse by the guards, in many of these he is restrained. But he seems to go to his crucifixion freely.
The nail gun is just a twist, a change, maybe it signifies that this is a modern crucifixion. I prefer hammer and nails myself, but it makes a change.
Now hanging from the wrists is a problem, simply because the suspended from the wrists pose doesn't quite convince me, his shoulders and arms don't look quite right, not enough tension in the upper body and his legs don't quite hang right imho. But I like the series so I'll live with it.
His body is exaggerated, true, I'd like to see him do some slightly more realistic figures, but as you say he is doing what he likes and fair enough. They are striking scenes and actually I think his figures are becoming more realistic, compared to the exaggeration of his earlier work and their frankly unbelievable and rather unattractive musculature. This is so much better and I look forward to seeing where he goes with this. I also appreciate that he puts women in his male crux scenes! That really makes the difference for me in this set.
One more quibble. The cameras in the series don't show what is in front of them on the screen, but appear to show women. This is an irritating oversight. I've altered these two so that the screen shows what it's pointing at.

Exquisite depiction! It's nice to see real men with real bodies on naked display and crucified so beautifully!

give me an email address. Ropes and leather restraints holding me in position on the cross.

Does someone know what movies are these pics from?
Especially the last one. It's supposed to be from "Son of God-2015" but the scene doesn't happen.

Thats a question for me as "crucifixion movie geek":
1. is from Italian Maria di Nazaret (2012) - Mary of Nazareth
2. is from Son Of Man (s/w from the 60ies as far as I remember)
3. is from Anno Domini The Bible continues Ep.4
4. is from The Last Temptation of Christ (obviously)
5. hmmm... not completely sure, but it looks indeed as if from "Son of God". Or from the Anno Domini-Series. This Roman costume is unique to the series.
But I cant remember having seen this scene, too.
Maybe it was censored due to violence. As far as I remember you are from Germany, too. I noticed that there are many bible/Jesus movies with crux scenes which have been censored on German TV, for example "The Inquiry" (the wrists and feet mailing scene), "Jesus 2000" (with Jeremy Sisto, the nailing scene through the wrist) and others...
best regards and happy easter week
Ty.
#3 and #4 are new to me there Madi, and #6 is a manip of a picture I'm familiar with. I'll post it an some more from that series sometime.
Well identified Tygorn, thanks.
ok in honour of the time of year here are some Easter themed pics from me.
