Do the scimitars have seperate materials for handle/hilt/blade? If so, there is a quick and dirty trick you can use to create a scabbard for any sword that is broken down like this. Switch on the grouping tool, and create a new group (called scabbard or whatever), then include by material the blade. Create a new prop called scabbard and voila, instant prop. Scale it up a fraction so it's slightly larger than the blade and save it to your props directory. Hope this helps Paul
