A fine, hollow dromedary from Hausser :-)

I was very surprised when I got this beautyful dromedary. it is HOLLOW  
As you can see, it is not small, but it weighs only 26 grams !

I asked Roger, and he found out that it is from Preisser, and that is is still being made

Fine proportions, isn't it ?


I love that arrogant camel-face  




Lots of detail, - and interesting way of painting ...

I love that camel as you know. Curiously Christophe posted a 1972 Hausser Elastolin where you can see the same mould in 70mm collection with the 5780 number reference.
I think Preiser used these moulds. How to distinguish a Preiser from a Hausser?

ouuuuu I love that camel ! It`s beautiful.
Great great model.
Perfect proportions, the details and pattern are great too.
Congrats Susanne..it`s wonderful :)

Lovely model! Congrats!

Thankyou, dear friends

Congratulation Susanne

Yes Preiser used the Hausser ones since 1982. How to distinguish them? Maybe it will be a STS task?

Very fine animals, congrats

I like Elastolin, wonderful models!! Congratulations Susanne :)

Yhankyou, guys

Yes, Yes
If we could get good explanations and examples on STS, it would be MARVELLOUS

When i have to judge on the painting, my guess is Hausser from the late 1980's, Preiser has slightly different colours, and they do look newer.

Oh, again, I watch your photos...and i fall more and more in lov with this model :)

You know, - at first I was quite disappointed because she is hollow, but getting to know her I love her , - she stands on my piano and smiles at me right now

If she stands on your piano, this means, that she is special

You are very welcome Susanne!

Wonderful camel!

Thankyou for the kind comments

But the hand-painted/made models are behind glass
