The Dobrowolsk​a-Oczko and Knibbs' New Project ~ Voting Poll

After a great deal of thought on what species to do for our next project, Anna and I have made up a list.  We thought we'd put it over to you to choose/vote which species you'd like us to make from this list.

This project will be slightly different from our previous one; there will be a choice of ordering either a raw (straight from the mould), prepped (mould lines removed and holes filled) or painted castings.

All will be made in 1:22 scale except the Asian Golden Cat which will be made in a larger scale 1:10

The list of animals are as follows:

Forest Buffalo ~ pair
Hirola ~ pair
Bontebok ~ pair
African Wild Ass ~ pair
Asian Golden cat ~ pair
Grevy's Zebra ~ pair with foal

Please Note: a painted Grevy's zebra will be more expensive due to it's complicated pattern.

Thank you for starting poll Harriet!

So many wonderful ideas! With amazing sculptors, all figures will be great.

Sorry african hoofed animal fans. Golden cats!
And next time: African golden cat! Such talented ladies and such a beautiful species,...!

AHHHH! I cannot chose ladies  --too many great animals. Need to sleep on this..

Golden cat.   

Yes! Fight the antelopes!

It is a hard choice, i like all between 1-6

   WILD ASS!!!   

I love all of the species, what fantastic choices! The only one I would not choose is the golden cat, just too large a scale for my model, sorry PeGe! Other then that I love them all, i think in order I would vote:
Grevy's zebra
African wild ass
Forest buffalo
Hirola
Bontebok (even though this is one of my favorite antelope sp, Ana has done three for me already)
Golden cat (I love cats, but the scale is just too big for my diorama and the cat too small to work in 1:22)

With that list my vote for Harriet and Ana to make was the forest buffalo, it would be a figure that isn't available from the brand names, even though it isn't my favorite species.

I knew there are some true african-hoove fans on STS.

Dear Harriet and Ana,

I love these polls! I just saw on you tube a documentary about the hirola : only 250 animals survive in the world and no one is in captivity ! I was looking at them , how beautiful these creatures are and how precious...and was thinking " how wonderful it would be if one of our skilled masters in sts forum could reproduce them"...and now my dreams come true !! I just voted for the hirola of course even though all the others are just fabulous...hope anyway that hirola will win !
 

mmm difficult decision   
anyway thank you for this poll  . Between my preferences are the asian golden cat, the wild ass and the forest buffalo... i think I'll vote for buffalo

African Forest buffalo for me     

Wow, that's really hard. The Forest Buffalo jumps out at me initially. But both antelopes sound amazing too. And of course the Golden cat would be extremely desirable as well. I think I may need to think about it some more and return.

Very difficult to choose just one animal. I like them all, but for some time I expect to see some brand make a wild ass figure.

Wow, difficult choices to make but I'd most likely go for forest buffalo as they have a unique features such as those cute papillon ears

A great choice of species, can't wait to see what you two come up with.
Progress photos would be very interesting.

I love them all (but only like the golden cat--sorry hooves haters  ), but after much consideration I went for the Hirola. It is a unique antelope. My second was the forest buffalo--a great species!

It's not often that I have to look up an animal to see what is being talked about, and I had to do that with one of these... Anyways, I voted for three, the buffalo, cat, and wild ass. It doesn't matter who wins this for me, I know they will be beautifully mastered anyways!

Can't wait to see the next project from you two! Any of these animals will look fantastic!

Me too. I think I am a big animal know-it-all but had no idea what a Hirola was. I thought it was a big-time gambler--get it, High-Roller??  (cricket sounds)

Ha! I got your joke, even before you explained it.  Not many people can catch me unawares on an animal species, so that was a rare event. Most people see me as a know-it-all when it comes to animals, and many I haven't even really blabbed about different species too! Maybe animal collecting can give off vibes...    

Forest buffalo. African wild ass

Forest buffalo. Next time time, I will vote for hirola!
