It's been some time since i stop by the forum, i have been extremely busy for the past few months with a School program i'm going thru, so i have been away from my hobbies, including this forum. But i wanted to share with you a figure of a rarely seen Nyala Antelope, The Fur comes from a real male Nyala and it took me some time to get it thru my good friend in charge of Miami Zoo's mammal collection, but it was worth his effort since it allows for the realistic look of the animal.

....U-a-a-a-a-a-a-h!!! cheers

The figure is beautiful, congratulations Danny! cheers

Danny I really like your Nyala, what kind of glue did you use to attach the hair to the figure. I just finished a nyala myself, I was inspired by the one you did. Hopefully I will figure out how to put pitchers of my work on this sight any wat thanks for the inspiration.

Happy sculpting

Thank you guys i'm glad you enjoy it.

Joe not sure about the glue or what the artist uses, i do not make the figures, the only thing i can take credit for is finding a specific pose, and species that i want recreated, in this particular case i was able to get the hair from a real Nyala but the artist does the work.
the individual that makes the animal figures for my collection has over 30 years of experience in the miniature scale world, and has done a multitude of exhibits for museums around the world, including the American Museum of Natural History in New York, all of my figures are in 1:12 scale, and since the scale allows for the detail, many have real fur, etc added to their body's, but no clue on the way each figure is created.

This was the actual pose i picked for the Nyala [img][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/img]
