Some of my shelves

Did a bit of shelf arranging, so now at least my birds have a space of their own.
My recently established, constantly growing raptors collection:

Another collection that has increased dramatically: The lemurs. A bit ringtail heavy, but at least I have one aye-aye, a sifaka and a ruffed lemur.

A better pic of my latest addition. Martial eagle Polemaetus bellicosus.

Awesome repaint, looks so real!

Thanks! It's not such a bad model, although it has certain issues. The problem is of course that this mold and the Bullyland are the only ones I can find in the shops, so that hampers my attempts at diversity a little. I'm currently working on a pewter model from Games Workshop, but those are expensive and rather fragile. Hopefully my package from MPV gets here soon, I'm dying to see what the Collecta eagle is like!

You'll have to look out for the Mojo bald eagle too - looks like a really nice sculpt!

I'm also curious about CollectA eagle and Mojo eagle! :)

Beautyful collections, Sumo. I love them all, your repaints are very fine and impressive

It looks really good with those see-through boxes, are they made of glass or clear plastic ? A good way to get some of the figueres a bit up, so one can see them

They're plastic, apparently they're originally meant to keep cards in. I was going to use them for tiny dioramas, but these things take so much time...
I know some people have all sorts of cool stands and risers to make multilevel displays on their shelves, but so far I haven't found anything better than this.

They function just fine !
Hmmm, perhaps in some plase where they sell stuff for exhibitions in shops ?
I seem to remember watches being shown on something like that...

Great collection Sumo, I already said the job is excellent but it's great to watch them all together

You can also think about the PAPO bald eagle to repaint :

And, of course, if you need already painted good eagles models, there is the fantastic COLORATA set

By the way which brand is your ruffed lemur model ?

Where's the California condor from?

Martial eagle is really nice, is it from Bullyland?

Awesome collection. Looks wonderful.

Update! Found these neat little shelflets at the hobby store. Unfortunately they don't have room for the bigger models, but at least it makes the tinies a little more visible.

I decided my cartoony little Papo vulture might appreciate a new look - not that purple eyeshadow isn't attractive on a bird - and I've been wanting an Egyptian vulture for a while now.

Your latest repaint is fantastic Sumo, I love the way you do their eyes! And those shelves were a great find, perfect for your smaller birds.

Congratulations with your new shelves, - very useful, they may even fit into a bookshelf so more little figueres can be show, or ?

I just LOVE what you made out of that cartoon-vulture, now it looks like a real bird

...I think this California condor from a small animal series by Nayab (I have it too). It,s very small figurine (approximately 1/2 part of Safari analogue). There are one more the same birds - mandarine duck, bald eagle, goose, owl, cormorant, nos-horn (Bucerotidae) and some others...

Congratulations on your miniatures painted, my favorite.
is the martial eagle is fabulous Schleich
Really well painted in detail thank you all for sharing.

That's the one! Mine's repainted, but he looked just like yours originally. I have a few of the other birds from the same line, they really are pretty nice.
Love your collection!

Nice birds, and great way to show them

I just love that little falcon, the one with the lightbrown breast and grey wings, - ohhhh, there are SO many fantastic birds of prey. Good that some make models of them !

Sergey you have such a gorgeous collection of eagles
