Actually, I was speaking hypothetically, suggesting one possible solution for creating a Poser "friendly" Cyberman. My skills at modeling curved objects is somewhat, er, lacking. I meant that whomever had those skills to model "cyber technology" could import the finished items (helmet, chest mountings, shoulder pads, etc.) into Poser and parent them to an existing figure's body parts like the head and chest. One could use "Dork" and fit him with one of Anthony Appleyard's wetsuits to help recreate the Mark IV Cybermen from "The Invasion" and "Revenge of the Cybermen". One need not have to model an entire figure and "rig" the joints with Phi Builder or the Poser 5 Character Setup "room". On another subject, this prop is not "my" TARDIS. Please understand Michael M. Imrie did all the original modeling and texture "painting". I merely optimized his mesh within UV Mapper Pro so that it would render decently within Poser. That's why I labeled the thumbnail "Imrie's TARDIS". He was gracious enough to let me distribute HIS model in a Poser ready format. The last thing I want is for people to think I am laying claim to another person's work. Still, I accept the compliment in the spirit intended. Sincerely, Bill
