What brand is the light grey reindeer ? The standing swan... wow ! There are SO many

Thanks for sharing , and congratulations with your beautyful displays

The work was certainly worth it! Beautiful displays and a fantastic collection,Marcus!
It was a joy to watch your figurines in such a nice setting,Congratulations!

Fantastic collection and beautiful displays!!! it's pleasure to watch photos of your collection Marcus congratulations!!

Wow, wonderful displays Marcus. You have many of my favorite animals, and some I wish I had. I really like the way you've set them together. I am very impressed with your Prehistorics - the Mammoth shelf is amazing.

I have added some new wall shelves and rearranged my other ones. I took the giraffe and zebras and put them on the wall then added a shelf for Australia and my bunnies and their friends.

Here are the new wall shelves. I started out very organized with the Giraffe and Zebras and then the Camels. Then I added the yak, and the muskox and then they wanted to be by the mountain goat and then I ended up just adding some of my favorites until the shelves were full. I have 2 more smaller shelves that will go up above and get some of my favorite cattle and horses I think. Except I need to redo Australia already due to new additions and...hmmm I think I need more shelves.

All the animals are Schleich except the Australia shelf. Also there are Science & Nature animals, a Kaiyodo Kiwi, a Colorata platypus, and a Safari platypus

The excelent shelves Marcus! I like the "landscapes principle" too! And you have many rare models!

They look fantastic

I love the principle of putting only these and these on the shelf, - and then those also...and I like these..

The result is very, very nice with order but not TOO much order

Beautiful new shelves Tim! Your collection is amazing I love Australian shelf, i put my Australian animals on display too, just found some space for them few days ago :) I had to
I see You have very nicely painted tapir by schleich, my looks different, it must be color variation and I see 2 color variants of anteaters, wow
Thank You for showing photos to us Tim

My Tapir and also my Yak are made in Portugal that I picked up in Germany last May. They are the only 2 Schleich that found a space in my suitcase.
I just got more of the Science & Nature animals and also a few birds, so they will be crowding into the shelf soon.

This is a collector's heaven!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, glad you liked the pictures :)

Suzanne, i think the reindeer is Preiser Elastolin, its little and from hollow plastic but i like the model.
The baby mammoth on the left of the AAA is the old Safari , on the right is the new Mojo.
I don't know witch swan you mean but is has to be Schleich or Collecta.

By seeing your Schleich zebra's and giraffes so nicely displayed i'm tempted to get some of them. This forum is not good for my wallet

Thanks Harriet, but unfortunatly i don't posses the Lineol caribou , i think you saw the Preiser elastolin wich is from hollow plastic and a lot smaller then the Lineol or the other modern brands.
