On Etsy, Paleocasts is a shop run by Patrick May in Chicago. He makes figures of obscure Paleozoic marine species (just my kind of animal) and sells them for great prices. He is currently on a break, but I purchased several things from him in the past year. I decided to make a topic where people can post pictures of Paleocasts models and discuss them.

And he also takes commissions, so I emailed him a commission of several Carboniferous figures he used to make. I’ll update once something happens. These images are not mine. They were taken by Halichoeres and Patrick May.

UPDATE: Mr. May responded that the figures I wanted are available. I’ll soon be able to populate my Carboniferous collection with fauna
. I’ll post the pictures here, but I’ll put a commentary and description on my collection update.
