/Taos' general additions update 10/2/2024

Nice newcomers, the Papo are of course great but the standing tiger is the n°1 of the batch for me

Great bunch of cats. I especially like the two on the left in the first photo and the lying cat in the second photo. The cats in the third photo have interesting poses. I can't work out how the hind legs of the grey cat are attached.

It is as if the tiger is looking over a wall. If you put a wall under its front paws, I think it would look very funny.

Congratulations Taylor, and happy birthday.

That standing tiger model is superb!! I've never seen one before. Is this the first of it's kind?

The fluffy white cat in the first pic, on the right is really cute. Nice China set as well. And you got the monkey and her baby model!

Thank you all.I'm very happy with all my models.I have a few more still to arrive.

Very nice newcomers!! I think Ii will get the sheep and the peacock. Some of the cats do look very tempting as well! I need a bigger apartment for my collection...

Great additions! I'm just completely crazy about the new Papo.
Should I relist the Russian Blue as a Scottish Fold?

Roger-I had a look at an old post by Jill and she said that the Russian blue model had stumpy ears like my model so I think that changing it to Scottish Fold is warranted.

Some more new additions.

Animal Paradise Spotted Hyena

Int5eresting pose of the hyena

Thanks, I moved the cat to Scottish Fold. I think your hyena wants an apple.

Some models my friend who lives in Spain bought in her local market around Christmas-the deer I think are resin but the poultry are hard to determine if they are resin or composite
The poultry models are quite large

Some very interesting figures. Looks like older figures but some are unknown for me.

Congratulation Taylor, the first lizard species is hard to determine with a single picture. I agree with Andreas, the poultry look a lot like old composition model.

I don't know that model as an AAA but we never know them all. Can it be a rock agama? Could you provide a photo from the top?
Congratultions for all your other figures, copies with different colors are always interesting.

Love this hyena pose Taylor!

I really like the camel's pose and open mouth! Great model.

Congratulations on all these Taylor!

The hens and goose like they are made from a composite resin - hard and heavy models, but can break when dropped on a hard surface. It reminds me of that because of the way they are painted in a 'whitewash' way and also the finer detailing of things like feather tips that plastic models can't yet quite achieve.

Nice models.... my favorite is the dromedary.

Thank you all folks.
Sunny-thank you for the info on the poultry and I think you may be correct.
Roger-I will get another picture of the lizard.

Roger here is a picture of the lizard from above

Thanks Taylor for the extra picture. Looks like a starred agama but I can't be sure. I also tried Google image search and it gave the same result.

Many thanks Roger!
