At PropsGuild they have some sparkles and particle clouds and a blast which you might be able to color or light properly to get your gun flare. Look under FX. There has been a resurgence in Egyptian and Grecian and Roman clothing available lately... probably due to the Hollywood movies of the last couple of years. However, I haven't seen ANYTHING authentic. A couple of garments come close, but most modelers are going for glamour rather than the true clothing of the period. I'll take what I can get, and try to work with it. Most is excellent for fantasy art. However, I would be exceedingly happy to provide pictures for anyone attempting to model truly historical clothing. Carolly
