Hoot! I just ***love*** that gladiator skirt with vibram-soled army boots and skater knee pads. :snort: Reminds me of the time my parents dragged us kids to a rollerderby "sporting" event (nothing sporting, it was all pre-choreographed and phony). If she is an adventuring warrior, I'm an immortal elf princess. (Besides vulnerability to hamstringing, every last major artery is exposed. Give me a pole arm!) Pity. The parts look well-made and detailed and textured... but, together? Maybe somebody thinks Vulcan was the god of rubber and plastic, so of course they had lug-soled shoes in Roman times. Anyway, various people have tried to do roman styled armor. Search for legionnary, centurian, Roman. I think someone made characters for Xena and her sidekick, so you might look for them, too. There were female gladiators in Roman times (was it Smithsonian who did the article on them a couple years back?), but you didn't get rich and well-known if a 10-year-old with a slingshot could take you out. From the evidence of the statues, those ladies knew how to protect themselves! Carolly
