Tks shawn

Wow

Thanks Antonio! You painted them beautifully!

Tks Andreas and stijn

Two splendid pictures, great stage.

Colors of these animals is marvellous.


I see great talent in the people of this forum.

António, there's no doubts that you are very exigent with your painting work and with the sculpts you choose. In most of your pictures, figures look like real animals. These two antelopes resulted incredibly good, the oryx looks like a divine creation.

Just wow. The figurines are absolutely wonderful.

Tks sylobe
Obrigado Rogerio
And happy new year for all

It's time for a huge bunch of models I've created 17 new figures during Christmas Holidays and today I've uploaded them all Because of this high number, I'll only show one render per model, but there are more on my Shapeways page.

First I've a I think unique, but recognizable, pose for the cheetah, with this stretching and yawning male , created for Antonio  


And this very large bull I created for Dom. It's based on the largest known, 4-meters-tall bull, named the Fénykövi elephant, displayed at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, combined with the heaviest recorded tusks, both over 3 meters in length, which are known as the Kilimanjaro tusks, owned by the Natural History Museum in London.


I also have my first Elephant cow:


And a calf for the African Elephants  


It was also time to give the male antelopes I have some female counterparts.

It's been more than 5 years and now that little Kirk's Dik-Dik got a female:


And a lady for the Common Eland:


For the Gemsbok I've created two females:



And this is the female Greater Kudu, busy with ruminating


And now it's time for some new species.

First I created on request my first extinct animal. Here is the Woolly Mammoth, based on a skeleton at the Smithsonian Institute.


Here is the Waterbuck, a male and female right away (so they don't have to wait for years for each other )



Also a male and female Nyala:



And last, 3 Gerenuks, including 2 females who are busy reaching the tastiest leaves




It's been a lot, but I hope you'll love all these new additions.

WoW stijn
Its fantastique collection
I want all

Marvellous job, these figures have lot of precision.

I want all too. Big congratulations  

You're doing a really outstanding job populating a tiny savannah! Thrilled to see your new additions.

As a side note, also really enjoy seeing sculptors base their works on particular real animals.

Great work!

Very impressive work!

I'm amazed abou the incredible level of quality of these models!!!!! Do you sell casts?

Very very nice

Thank you all! Great to see you like them!

Thanks! I don't create casts of these models, but I do sell them as 3D printed figurines in 2 different types of plastic. On my site https://www.shapeways.com/shops/mininature you can find them in multiple scales.

That's great! Do you export to other European countries too? I may end buying one of the gerenuks and an impala maybe...
I suggest you adding to you website a way to order the figurines by species or have a species index :)

Impressive batch Stijn, they are all very beautiful

Thanks Christophe!

Yes, Shapeways is the company who prints it and they ship to every European country.
I think you're absolutely right about the species index. I want that too, but because it's a community site, I have to design my page between the borders they have created. So I can't create any way to filter on specific species, next to the filter for scales. I hope in the future that site create more options for me to handle my page.

It's beyond words!

OMG I cannot believe these models--they will all be great additions to my herds! Great work.

Stijn, in shapeways some of the figures' details stated 'hollow" and some "solid." Are some of the figures hollow?
