Stunning tarpan. He sure is a proud stallion, great work. What is the next animal you are thinking of making in your recently extinct collection?

It is AMAZING!!! I'm stunned      

Tarpan is very nice model. Great job!

I am not sure, but wasn't the last tarpan a hybrid with a domestic horse? Pictures are rare, so i was wondering where you got your ideas from,....I also like the imagination of such big mammals once roaming europe. Not even long ago. At least for nature and evolution, but of course way more than a human lifespan,....Lions in greece, cave lions, big herds of aurochs and tarpan,....my first impression where Heckel cattle and Koniks kept together at Hellabrunn (Munich Zoo).

Pege you're right but there are also data of the last pure mare that has been reported .
Searching on internet ----"Tarpans survived the longest in the southern parts of the Russian steppe. By 1880, when most "Tarpans" may have become hybrids, wild horses became very rare. In 1879 the last scientifically confirmed individual was killed. After that, only dubious sightings were documented. As the Tarpan horse died out in the wild between 1875 and 1890, the last considered-wild mare was accidentally killed during an attempt at capture. The last captive Tarpan died in 1909 in a Russian zoo."

Thank you Kudu, Agata, Zelvik !!   

Zelvik , the next animal I'm doing is not an extinct species. It is another animal with which I am identified..  

Miguel

Could you post a pic with a Schleich horse for comparison? The Przewalsky one would be perfect :)

Here are the pics Silvia. He and she together   .

Wow they looks good together  Well done again! I love it  
Thanks on great pics!

Thank you so much! They look so good so near :)

That is a really nice figure. I wish Mojo, Collecta, Bullyland or Schleich would do a Tarpan.

Thank you Jonas, Silvia and Quagga !!

Wonderful! Your Tarpan is much better than some of the Przewalski models I've seen! Have you thought about making a Quagga?

Forgot to add - if you should decide to cast the Tarpan, I would be interested in buying one!

Thank you Jenny I'm glad you like this figure !! . Maybe later I can make a figure of Quagga to go with the beautiful figure that Ana made for Mojo and start a herd.

 I have to say that I have made copies of this figure for those interested. If you want to write me a message.

Hey Miguel. it's an adult specimen actually, small scale. A K&M Figurine from 1998. And it's for trade.
