I´m speechless... they are just... GORGEOUS!

Thank You for compliments about my work Martin and Zbyszek

Anna, I returned from vacation and I see for the first time your new creation, she is divine, fantastic design a marvel. (Hats off), what talent.
Congratulations, and Christopher who inspired you to design bravo!

I don't want to bring my big friend down here, but it was only his idea...
Ana made the sculpt and the model finally of course.
I know that Christophe, Torben and me are 3 happy collectors, who knows how many she has left for the rest of you...

Well Wily, there is not a secret if I have a mold I can make copies as long as this mold is good(around 30stocks). But I've done only 12 and sold 11, one I left for myself. So at the moment I have no more copies but maybe in future I can do more because mold is still good. That was just for info my friend

That is good news for all of the other collectors who want this model too!
It is a limited production anyway, so no harm done there, and you must been payed for all of your affords too of course, that is where a mold is for!

[After a long wait my Takin, arrive , and it is an special item in my home, a pure masterpiece.

Congratulation Gab

Congratulations Gab. A masterpiece worth waiting for and opening very carefully. I still can't get over the details each time I see mine.

Thank You for this picture Lucky Luc! It's very nice!

Congratulations Luke, beautiful picture too

Congratulations on your beautiful takin and beautiful picture you made of it. I'm sure you were so excited to open the package, I know I was.

Yes opening the package was full of emotion, as I said to Ana after the Grand Jury Prize for the takin, I was also awarded the price of container, I carefully dissect, finally my eyes contemplate the creature;
Fabulous at this moment. Thank you

Jean-Luc understand your emotions. So too we have a package come with new purchases. Takin Beautiful, beautiful picture. Congratulations

Congratulations to Ana again, for making this fantastic model for us, and to all of us, who have one of these great items!

My Takin is getting jealous he is also FAN-tastic, he says, And I agree with him

Yes, it lives in mountains, rough, cold areas, - ha, ha I had to google it also

He's absolutely correct, you know - Takins are awesome! Is this an original sculpture?

As far as I know, Ana made one for Torben, but it was before I joined the forum.
Then she worked out how to make a mould, and now she can make more of them, even if I am sure it must be slow and difficult work.
Then she hand paints them, so not two are completely the same, - just like nature

As an owner of one of Ana's Takins the only thing I can say is that it is perfectly done, the dimensions and the detail on each of the areas of the body are incredible real. It is a master piece.

This and Ana's Bongo are must have for the real collectors of animal figurines as they are the best I had ever seen.

Hope Ana will keep making this amazing animals for us.

I fully agree !
Only not that Ana will continue making these two, almost like a factory
Hopefully Ana will say: "So! I have made 20 (or 30 or 50), now I will make some new ones "
To develop her skills, and for me to get more of her wonderful figueres

But fortunately it is not for me to decide

Tss tss tss

The real story : Kikimalou asked Ana to make a takin, then Ana found the way to make her first mold... And then some of us joined the "Ana's takin club"

Ohh, sorry, Christoph

Well, Kikimalou - one of the great collectors of the most fantastic stuff possible

Thank You very much Susanne for photos of Your takin and for this topic here

And thank You guys and girls for all so sweet words abut my works Thank You, thank You

And YES, the first takin was made for Christophe, that was his idea and choice of specie. I did know takins before but never thought about making model of it before Christophe's letter

Great looking animal, I've never seen one before (even in pictures)

Excellent work Ana, hope to see you add some new animals very soon...

Woow!!! This Takin is Great!! It looks so realistic and I hope that I could have one like it in my collection.
The walkthrough is great and I realy like the pictures in this thread!
Maybe a Saiga antelope is next?

Thank you so much for so nice comments about takin!!!
This figure was actually the most frequently asked for, so I decided to make second mould of this sculpture and now it's available again.

It's in Likaon shop in Asian Animals section Here is a link http://www.likaonmodels.com/available-models.html

Good news for all of us !!

I hope you also make a new reedition of the figure of the bongo. For those who could not get the first. Please, please !    

Ohh nice. I'm interested by a model (painted) but I must have more money (I have already two orders of 29 figures on MPV. So, my wallet is tired and I want to complete my wishlist of papo figures this month ).   

Thank you for the comments!!!
Bongo is an option to consider, but I don't think for this year, and I also don't think I would do re edition of the exactly the same figure in this case. I will see.

Great!
I was wondering - does the mold need to be recreated? how many figures can you do using one mold? unlimited or there is a limit?
I would be happy to try creating figures myself - I know it is hard thing to do and it can take ages till you have what you want. But I do want to try.

What do I need in order to be able to do this?
Also, If I want to remodel a figure - cutting and putting it up in a different pose of body shape - what do I need - i have read of epoxy - what kind of epoxy I need and which brand?
I would need to color the figure afterwards, Right? What color to use? where I can get it?
After I'll remodel and be satisfied with results. Can I create a mold out of the figure? what do I need for that?

I do want to try it - maybe I'll be able to create one myself :)
Thanks
