Ankh-sun-amon's body texture from the first movie was nicely done, and should still be in free stuff here. IIRC, there were a couple of modeled pieces for the jewelry, too (not ALL of that was paint!) There is a "sittable chiton" for the Dork at Baument (check his archives) and some Greco-Roman stuff at CacheForge (low poly?). There is at least one Statue of Liberty in 3ds format (non-posable). Traveler gave us a nice Greek-styled tunic for Vicki last year as well as some vases, etc. (but you had to be a member of his PropsClub... still the best bargain around... this week we got a fantasy hot air balloon). I remember an Aphrodite from someone, will have to check my files. Some of Serge Marck's experiments with "pleats and folds" are interesting as starting points for an outfit. Currently, however, there are no authentic clothes such as are seen on the caryatids or contemporary mosaics for any of the figures. Almost all of what little we have is from the movies or idealized Victorian paintings (Alma-Tedema and Waterhouse and the rest did lovely luminescent work, from a 2500 year vantage point). From the evidence Steve has provided, drapery will be a lot easier to handle in P5. I wish Nerd and Phil the best. It may take a while, but I think we'll finally get real clothes from real time periods. :) Carolly
