| Seeing the progression shots of this just makes it even more impressive, to watch it come alive. I love the hyena den! So many beautiful animals, but also so much landscape detail. Incredible work so far! |

| Here is an update on my African diorama. I am now moving north of the river and getting into dryer scrub areas. I have created an impala herd sharing the tree shade with a troop of baboons on the ground and trees. I have a few gerenuks feeding as well as savannah hare. Black rhinos are also included with guinea fowl roaming by the river. I also zoomed in on the Hyena den. I need to add more flora in these areas. I will be adding some large hooved mammals soon.

| Reaply beautiful again, I spy a small hyena cub! May I ask what model is the hare? Custom or customized from a brand? _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| This is so stunning- I'd love to be able to create something as realistic as this! I love the close-up photos, it really brings me into a different world- it feels as if I am in this beautiful African landscape! And I love the Giraffes jumping up at the tree, and all the varying grass and foliage- it must have taken ages! |

| It is all really impressive. It is hard to see it is a diorama and not the real thing. Completely out of this world and impossible to guess all the work behind all of it. |

| Still working on my Eastern Africa Diorama. New is the chimp troop, desert/shrub environment, and creating more of the jungle area. Soon to come gorilla troop. Last but not least with be a waterhole with croc, hippos, cape buffalo and waterbuck. PS like my fennec fox family? Need to work more on their den.

| thank you all for your kind words! I have not worked on it this week but hope to get the gorilla troop and rest of jungle together very soon. Then the water hole. After all is done I will take very detailed photos of each animal/bird as well as overall ones. Hope to use a professional camera to get into each animals' area. _________________ Shawn
