Forest buffalo bull

Yesterday I received my forest buffalo figure done by Harriet, he arrived in perfect condition so I put him in his new home, he is so wonderful I can't wait until his mate arrives.  Until then here are a couple of photos of the bull for everyone to enjoy...

WOW ! It is like he is alive    

What a fabulous, fantastic model     

The only word is WOW!     Huge congratulations!     

That is a stunning figure for a great diorama. He will be happy in his new home, when his mate arrives of course.   

Brilliant, your dioramas and figurines are so very very special               

He looks happy in his new home! I'm glad you like him Phil.

Very beautiful bull! Congratulations Phil!

Fabulous!  Very beautiful color and the sculpting is perfect! Congrats!

Congratulations Phill, quite splendid this buffalo, the wonderful colors and what a wonderful presence!
You were very lucky to have this wonder and his companion soon!
Congratulations Harriette and Ana for this wonderful prize!
Phill your Duorama always a real pleasure to see what talent!

         

Wow   , it's almost as if I'm looking at a zoo now, the only difference is that there's no fence

Congratulations with that phantastic buffalo I love it :)

He looks so happily perfect there, in among all the green and brown.

I just love, too, the way he is painted in so many different lovely shades of colour, especially the rich gold/brown.

Good work!

He is wonderful!! Congratulations for your newcomer :)

What a fabulous buffalo! Congrats on getting him it is indeed a treasure to have him!!   

Congrats Phil.

One day I need to visit you and take a look at your incredible displays and diorama's. I think you need to convert your home to a museum for animal collectors!    

no words! Just applause. Need to get some money! Elephants,...buffalos,....You kill us

A wonderful place for a fabulous buffalo   

The bull looks very well executed, the sculpting and painting suits it perfectly. It looks like it fits in perfectly with your diorama setting.

Phil,

congratulations for the wonderful Harriet's model and magnificent surrounding ! As Numaan said yes your place is very worth a visit, : I m ready to pay a ticket !  

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like the photos.  

On the diorama, I chose the coloring based on the iron ore deposits typical of the soil found in the forest, I was surprised at how well it matched the colors of the bull when he went into the scene!  I guess when several people are researching the same thing, in this case Ana and Harriet studying the buffalo and me the habitat, if we follow the correct information we should end up with a figure that belongs in the scene.  

As soon as the cow arrives I can finish adding the "forest" around the pair and I'll post more photos, I also have a few hidden gems in the diorama, small animals from the same area that can be seen if you look hard enough. EDIT: My misstatement, so don't look yet, I haven't put anything in there until it is ready for the permanent placement!

Numaan, or any member for that matter, you are more then welcome to visit!  If you get here there is not only my building where the dioramas are set up but my work stations where I make the trees, my woodworking shop where I turn and carve wood, as well as all of the live animals to see.  It is a lot more then just a collection of custom figures, trees, and dioramas.  Hope to see you here at some point!!!

Wow, he is amazing! I wish I had one like him! Congrats!     

Nice work! congrats Phil and Harriet

Congratulations Phil! A masterpiece, as always

Hi Phil

I dont know much about you. Where in the US do you live and what do you mean there are more buildings and live animals? Do you live on some sort of ranch? I have always admired your postings - your dioramas etc are fantastic. I will be sure to visit one day and see you whilst you work away on your dioramas.

what live animals do you have?
