Some hunting around led me to Anime-ish Aiko3, now free, with a free morph to a neat android.
{ "You want to dress up your androids and fembots ? Really ??"
}
Collecting a wardrobe of basics for them brought me to 'Ariel for Aiko3' among the ShareCG freebies. Now, I don't have much time for Disney's take on the tale, but an aquatic android could do beach-patrol without scaring the kiddies...
However, the 'build' needed a leotard by a Japanese artist plus a mertail from 3dzone. Though the 'wayback machine' retrieved the leotard, the mertail was unavailable, thought lost at sea...
Serendipitously, I'd a copy of the mertail zip, downloaded Dec2004 and later rescued from my dying CAD Tower.
Legalities, legalities-- No-one seems to know if 3dzone 'pulled' the file, or simply lost it when they closed.
There's no 'ReadMe' file with attribution or re-distribution info, so I've contacted 'AforA3's author for help.
Watch this space !!
