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.

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

Yes, that's true. All the models stated hollow are hollow, because the price that's calculated by Shapeways I made up with the cm3 material, cm2 surface and space inside the printer, so all the models I made hollow, are hollow so they are cheaper. For the hollow models, there are holes under the feet, or hidden between the legs. Because of the holes, you can decide to fill the figurines with some material, so they feel solid again. If you have some more questions, feel free to ask

Thanks Stijn!

Great models of fantastic species, I ordered four of them right now.

Hello
This is my new addition.(stijn création)

it seems a dream come true.

Esplendid job.

T’ks Fernando

This is simply wonderful

Big congratulation Black and Stijn

Thanks Yurumi! Hope you'll enjoy the models.

And very beautiful work Antonio! Thanks for showing

Merci Christophe
Moi c Antonio

Ok Antonio

Some work I recently finished.

Hello very beautiful

Amazing sculpting, painting and photographing! I have never seen such beautiful animal models as in this topic.

I think this last batch is even better than most of the previous that seemed more than perfect! The level of detail is increasing and very clever choices for poses. They're really wonderful and seeing them after painted through the beautiful pictures of our friends just make them even more desirable. Gerenuks are really tempting, I suspect it is useless to wait that a brand release one of these and that the best choice is acquiring your models once they're made with very delicate parts as in real animals.

Thanks for showing Dom! Great work!

And thank you guys! It's great to hear you see the progress I make over time with my sculpts Hope I can continue this development with more sculpts in the near future

Unbelievable

It’s time for a new update.  I finished uploading my latest creations.

First of all, the collection of cheetahs became bigger with this male and two cubs, a bit older than the former cubs:




I’ve also two new elephant bulls. First a kneeling Indian one:


And an aggressive African bull:


And what’s a update without new antelopes.  My newest addition is the Hartebeest. Because all subspecies are so distinctive from each other in shape, I couldn’t make a choice and love to capture all these different characteristics.
Here are all 8 new models:


From left to right, the first one is the Red Hartebeest, also named Cape Hartebeest. This one is considered as a separate species. You can find them in southern Africa.


The second is the Coke’s Hartebeest or Kongoni. This is the subspecies in the Serengeti region.


Third is Bubal or Northern Hartebeest. Sadly this subspecies is extinct in the 20s last century. It was widespread in the area above the Saharan Desert.


Fourth is the Lichtenstein’s Hartebeest. This one is most of the time considered as a separate species. It ranges from the Kruger National Park to Tanzania.


Than we have the Western Hartebeest, the largest of all, found on the savannahs of western Africa.


The sixth is the Swayne’s Hartebeest, a endangered species, only found in one spot of Ethiopia.


Next is the Lelwel Hartebeest, also named Jackson’s Hartebeest, found on the savannahs of central Africa above the Congo rainforest.


And last is the Tora Hartebeest, one of the most critically endangered species and maybe even extinct. It should be found in northern Ethiopia and Eritrea.


Hope you all like these new additions!  

Whoo! Fantastic work just to see all these wonderful creations Congratulations

Congratulations also for sharing these fantastic Diorama and painting work
a real treat for the eyes

I am almost without words to express how wonderful these are! I love the cheetah, agressive elephant and the team of hartebeests!

I love the new hartebeests! great. Also, the January timeframe of paint jobs by Dom and Antonio are fantastic! such detail.
