Hey Lenny, These are awesome! My favorite details are the tree in the Buddha scene (how sturdy is that, btw?) and the statues etc above the stairs in the Greek temple. I'm looking forward to seeing the further installments in this series. Bruce (19 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
