Request: Good, realistic hoplite/Spartan

Maybe some of you have played my map, Greece, on Battle.net or are familiar with it. If not, it's a diplomacy game set in ancient Greece in the time before the Peloponnesian War. Players start out with just one city and some peasants, and then build up and capture other cities around the map. My clan and the wc3diplo.net community have a lot of fun with it, and it was hosted quite often until my lull in updating it. I just released a new beta version the other day and another is coming soon.

ANYWAY I'm requesting a hoplite model that is more realistic that the current Spartan models available. (I give the background on the map to assure you that a completed model will actually be put to good use.) The one I use now has poor animations and is practically naked to be like the movie 300. I'm looking for someone to help me work out a better one that will be helpful to me, and likely other mappers as well.

My modeling attempts always fail, but I could/would skin it given an outline from the wrap.

If anyone is interested, here are some pictures as guides. Please post here if you are interested.

**Team color and good stabbing spear animations (possibly from another model) are necessary
