Caracal's finds

I think Grant's gazelle - they have a white patch including the whole bum, so the tail is white; Thompson's white patch doesn't include the tail, so it's coloured.

Grant's

Thompson's

(this is how I tell them apart when doing camera-trap IDs on a research project, said to be much more reliable than going by the darkness/clarity of the stripes down the sides)

Oh yes! Christophe wrote "Grant" and no "Thomson" on our french forum, but I always mixt these 2 "saxon" species! I beg your pardon!

 I am very happy to greet these wonderful Britains newcomers, and the others too, thanks to Roger!

Wonderful Britains :)

Wonderful Alain! These Britains are made for your collection. It was surely very nice from Roger, one of the Britains voices on forum.

Gorgeous! That antelope, moose, and giraffe are lovely.

Many thanks to you three Andreas, Roger and Paige!

Congrats on these classic Britains.

Moose and antelope are my favourites.

We don't see Preiser that often but their figures are wonderful. Those are 1:24 scale, no?

These Preiser models are amazing, really beautiful! I never knew they made such realistic models, such wonderful new additions!

 Thank you Rogério! They are from the 70mm plastic line, Christophe could probably tell us the scale but as you see, there are different scales inside! :)

 Thank you Bonnie! They are not so common to find at an affordable price that's why I have very few! :)

Preiser enter your collection

That's right, it's a new scale for me but they are so beautiful and anyway, I already have many models at these same scales! Moreover, I find them at an affordable price: 12 euros the whoole tigers family, 7,80 this eagle.. with low shipping-cost since it's from France! :)

some comparison pictures about scales:

 here with the golden eagle from Schleich (1998):

 .. they fit rather well together!..

 .. but the llama is smaller (here between the Papo and the Starlux ones):

Interesting, the eagle is much larger than what I could expect.

Nice additions especially the Llama-I only have 2 models by this company-a Red deer and a Moose.

very impressive detailed figures, especially the tiger cubs. At first I thought they were all 1/32nd :)
