Shantis Dioramas....

Thank you Sunny!
The cow is by Papo too and yes, she is bellowing! Loved this pose too!

Great looking bull and good to see him in person.I am still waiting for him to arrive at the company I order from and he will certainly be ordering him!

Thank you Taos!

Nothing big happening around my work bench this year. But a few random photos from the past months. Hope you enjoy them.

I like the plasterwork in the horse stable. The horses must be very pleased to have a mirror to see whether their hair looks good. The llama's fur is amazing too. What is it, did you put it on?

Thank you rogerpgvg!
Actually it is not a mirror but a window but it is dark outside.
The wool on the Llama is very fine cut knitting wool. You could use any fibre just cut it very fine and glue it on the animal. I think it is called flocking.

Superb photos!!!!

the llama looks amazing! I love flocks!! and the halter is a great touch :)

your outdoor pics are super - I love the reflection of the bulldog in the sand, both images of them are very well done.

And I too thought the horses have a mirror to admire themselves - well at night with their lights on I suppose they can, see their reflections. I like the 4 downlights and the walls as well.

Great work!

Thank you so much for your nice comments! I am very happy you like my photos!

I was just joking about the mirror, but I am sure the horses know that they can use a window as a mirror when it is dark outside . Interestingly, there is indeed some evidence that horses are one of the very few animal species that can pass the mirror test.

Ok, sorry I missed the joke Very interesting about this mirror test!

Just two random photos. Found these cuties in my collection. made by "Kindertoyz".

Never heard of this company. I like the way they have done the hair. What size are they?

Kindertoys is another brand by Bullyland. Sometimes these figurines are offered by Aldi, Lidl etc. but under this other name. Usually for a cheaper price.

Very nice models.Sadly we never see those models in those shops in the UK.

Nice pics of a so peaceful world I would be happy to spend time there

Thank you very much!!

Just two random photos of a vintage sable antilope by britains and a cute squirrel by Papo

All of these are such lovely photos! How did you do the lights in the stable?

And just a small correction, the squirrel is a Papo. :)

Thank you!
Of course it is Papo, corrected it.
The lights are made of battery operated christmas lights. I think 10 led in a row.

Great photos!!!

That's an excellent idea Shanti, so do have them "wired" into the ceiling/roof with the on/off button accessiblento you or do you just pop them in for photoshoots and then remove them?

Thank you Taos!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] The lights are "wired" into the ceiling. I put the cables between two pieces of wooden board. The cable with the battery block is stored behind the entire box for easy access. Took a photo from the area.

That is so creative and inventive. I may have to use a similar method if I ever get into dioramas like I would like to. Ingenius!

It's so well done, I wish you had built my house!

Many thanks to both of you!

Today I was having fun with the Shetlands and the huge amount of fall leaves.
