A interesting specie again :)

Again a cat I never heard about before
What a gorgeous creature  

It is a little hard to see the model in the picture, but it looks very promising , - I can't wait to see more

Anotehr exciting project and unusual species. Now we can see it is a very little figure and the real animal is delicately built with a small head what will turn everything much harder to detail in a small figurine. Though, from what we have seen, I'm sure you'll succeed.

Ready for painting!!!

It's looking good! I like the pose and the proportions are very good, typical for that species Perhaps the tail is very slightly too long?
Could you show us the close up of his head too?
Yay, I think he will look wonderful when painted, these cats have really amazing colour

I also note something whith the tail, but I think that more than long (It is said that there is a wide range of variations on this) it is a little bit more furry than it should be. I plan to correct it just before start painting.

Thanks for your kind and helping comments.

Wow !!. Really nice little model and perfect job !!. Very difficult do it so small.

Here it is!!!

Really nice, if my hand is more or less the same size as yours, it is smaller than Play Visions figures! Incredible!

Very nice cat !
You are so fast and so productive
That`s great.
Being ``philosopher`` from time to time :)....can I suggest something about the color?
On the real photo I see some very nice, orange shade , which you can use it.
On the tale, on the legs...also on some parts of the body and head...especially where the white parts are meeting the brown parts.... :)  inside of the back legs also you can put more orange-brown color....if you think that is good idea..

Beautieful!!
