It surely worths spending money but ordering it to spielenkonsolen means paying its price twice, so I am going to wait its released in shops here (maybe a dream I'll see!) Thank you for sharing so beautiful pictures Christophe!

spielenkonsolen ? price twice ? Could you explain Alain ?

I apologize if I have been somewhat critical here on this interesting and rarely produced model.
It is just that the Grey Heron is one of my favorite birds in real life and I felt like I needed to share my thoughts.

Maria, you don't need to apologize, this kind of boards are exactly places we use to discuss this subject and give our constructive criticism. By the way, I agree with what you nentioned and that was also my perception since the first time I saw the figure but I am also very used with the design of the major brand models where the delicate parts are not as delicate as in real animals. It also explains why they avoid this kind of animals, they are not easy to design realistically respecting children safety and the challenges of the production with these materials. However, the general approach is positive, I guess and we are so lucky of having a model like this one.

Rogério stole my words I made those walkarounds to discuss about models and I agree with Rogério and you of course. the only way to make modern standard size models without thick legs is to use composition material like the old German brands or acecate like Starlux and Clairet.

Christophe, "Spielundkonsolen" is a german site which sells all is not yet available but their shipping coast for each piece is 9, 75 euros to France.. :/

"Spielundkonsolen" ? Are you sure ? can you send a link ?

My heron arrived today and...WOW!!!!
