Leather-guy... before we can have swarming rats, we need to have a decent rat. Or an indecent one. The DAZ rat is ancient, stiff, and impossible to pose realistically. I thought that Bloodsong was going to do small prey victims (rats, hamsters, squirrels, rabbits), but I have an eyrie full of hungry hawks and bored falcons. :( Pat... have you checked out Baument's archive? I seem to remember sandbagged emplacements and things which could be retextured as junk. Also you might hunt down some kid's toys (pathos, lots of pathos): make the wheels invisible & non-shadow-casting and texture with peeling paint. GPS... if I could inject a cheerful note into this rather dismal list of wrecks and ruins, may I suggest a pot of warm tar (bubbles on the surface), a bag or opened pillow of feathers spilling out (a couple of loose feathers would be a nice touch), and a broad brush of the sort used for painting houses. Many thanks! Carolly
