Anton, I am not an Anne Rice fan, so my biases may be obvious. Real myth is preferred to mishmash (Isis as a vampire? Yuck!) I do realize that a fake character such as Akasha will sell better than a real person such as Hatshepsut, even though the latter was a powerful queen who extended the Egyptian sphere of influence through trade and treaty... and who ruled in her own name. That said, I admire the attention to detail, and all the hard work you are putting into this collection. (Many of the pieces are recognizable from teh Tutankhamen exhibit.) I have some quibbles with her clothing: the "skirt" is too masculine, and women often had bare breasts (I do not recall ever seeing a bra such as you've made). Gauzy pleats are sexy, revealing, and accurate. The jewelry, OTOH, is wonderful. I've animated the Anubis statue (for a company which no longer exists), and you've done a great job with him, especially the neckscarf. His chest should come forward a bit more, though. Note for Daio: adh3d has an Egyptian chariot, and horse gear, modeled after a relief of Ramses IIRC: it looks good and is in the Marketplace here. (Why reinvent the wheel?) If you do the statue of Bast, I won't have to. :) (It was on my list, a friend sent me a statuette of "Bast and her children" from the British Museum.) As a long-time customer, I hope that you take these comments as constructive ones... I don't want to discourage you at all. Carolly
