women have breasts. they have had them for millennia. They also have vaginas.

men also have breasts, albeit non-functioning. we also have penises. again i say, 'so what'?

Dear Papermate: I do not intend to hijack your thread, but i am distressed by some replies to this post. Why apologize for the human body? Why joke about Zio Prudenzio being 'banned' on this forum or elsewhere?

I have six of zio's models, none of which depict the human form. I'm just not interested in modeling the human form. Others (you) certainly are and you should not be ashamed. I appreciate a good model in any medium and enjoy viewing the same. If one somehow can look at Michelangelo's 'David' and not be moved, I may argue that you may not be human.

I implore moderators here:
If there are restrictions regarding the posting of content 'questionable', we debate what that means.

thanks and regards,

I agree completely... huge difference between the nude form and portraying lewd acts.

[Papermate,I was able to download both models and printed them out on regular printer paper. I am assuming that is what you used on yours, After seeing how well yours turned out, I couldn't resist attempting these my self. Zio was a truly amazing designer and one can only wonder what he would have designed next. As to CBG's concern about jokes about Zio being banned here, he isn't familiar with the site Papermate and I were referring to and which remain unnamed where any form of nudity can mean banishment for life and this isn't the forum we were referring to. What are Hoplites?

Hoplites were Greek infantry from anciet times, around 2700 years ago.

Thanks, guys, and the explanation.

So, anybody else here like to play with fire? A few modifications to Zio's model. This was either a very good idea, or a very bad idea.

Something wrong with my computer - black pixels everywhere......

Nice try, Knife, ready to get scorched, aye? Just curious who's face is that lassie?

Yep. Note the title on the base.

Based on the base, a whip would be more in order than a sword. That is unless she threatens to cut your head off.
