old Europa!

Many thanks to you three Jean-Luc, Paige and Jolie!

Paige, yes it is the Schleich Maine coon custom! :)

Really?! I didn't even recognize it! WELL DONE! It is a beautiful piece.

You can see him in "european wildcat (Felis silvestris)" p.3 in "custom figures and accessories" :)

Great to see the genet in its "natural" environment. I think all the photographed animals really inhabit the forests near you, is that right?

Thank you Roger!

.. near the place where I live, in the "garrigues" (mediterranean forest) there are no stags, only wild boars and rod deers but near my village I am originated from, in the "Grands Causses " area, there are also stags and wolves.

Until now in the garrigues, we just have lonesome wolves who are searching fo territories. They just pass through.. One has been shot (foto) on the sea coast close "La grande motte" very touristic station. An other one has been shot in Camargues and others near Marseille in the "Calanques natural parc", so we know they crossed our "outback" :)

Thanks, interesting to know and good to hear that you have lots of wildlife species.

Wonderful tribute to our recovering European fauna! Some photos are magic!

Thank you Rogério!

Its available! Congrats and lovely photos!

..at last yees!

I love this figure and they look even nicer in your realistic photos.
Fortunately, you were careful in photographing them, and both preserve their tails intact.

unbreakable tails!  Thank you Rogério!  

 Their only flaw is their legs and hands thickness..

I couldn't tell whether they were real or not. They look very much at home in their environment.

Many thanks to you both Andreas and Roger!

Beautiful pictures! I love this figure! I took a few too with it but everything green is dead here this time of year

Thank you Jolie!

Your photos really brings the model into real life!
 Beautiful model and lovely photos.

Thank you Tove!

If the legs were as thin as the real thing, I'm afraid they would break easily if the plastic was dense or they would bend unrealistically if a softer plastic was used. So, the way is to thicken the limbs and increase the size of the "hands" to keep a more consistent design. I think the good part is that we can see easily the extended toepads.

Yes but I would have prefered breakable legs and hands.. :)

Japanese brands make the legs of lizards very fragile and delicate, but that's because they only make grass lizards that are not subject to large falls like wall lizards. Hahha
