Awesome shawn! Congrats! I guess some members here would rathaer cry than repainting PV figurines
maybe you should use at least one of the Scimitar Oxes to change the pose of the figurine. Maybe a standing and watching one?

Wow, there are some amazing models there Shawn! Harriet's and Anna's Topis are gorgeous, as are their Nyala. I'm amazed to see three of the females! (I just got one.) Very impressive collection.

Great job! I didn't know Africa had squirrels... learned something new too!

This is awesome indeed !!! A joy to watch, - and the pictures are fabulous   
I love the baby capybaras being set free as rock hyraxes , and..yes ! All of them

I think the running ones are Playvisions and the sitting ones Kaiyodos repaints.

Thank you everyone and thanks to the talent of forum members. Yes, Jarda is correct, the running ones are Playvisions and the sitting ones are Kaiyodos repaints. They are mongooses, but they were not banded mongooses.

I love your customizing birds and African Bush Squirrels.

The Forum friends have enormous talent...    

Very nice pics Shawn, your African savannah is always full of good surprises  

Did you make the African pied crows or did you customized something ?

Congratulations Shawn! love the photos - glad the topi arrived safe

I got them from a dollhouse website call Miniatures and they were just plain crows. I added the white to them. I also got the African parrots from a dollhouse/small toys website as well as the squirrels.
