Caracal ltd production!

well done!!! I love it Alain - your own production line

what could make someone who collect herds happier than producing their own herds?!

- even though I am sure these are all going to find covetous new homes

I would be interested in any 1/32nd creatures that are made

Thank you Annette for your kind words. Til now, if I except the Homotherium, I created only small species with fosses and wild cats, so I wonder what they could be like at such a small scale but I pomise you that I shall try! 

Magnificent! Great poses.

Great Where is the shop ?

Thank you Roger and Christophe!  

 Christophe, I am very busy now but I hope to begin to paint "à la chaîne" as soon as I shall have enough models as soon as possible! :)

 and here the swamp cats:

Some comments now. The copies are not as precise as the models,  particulary on the fur rendition and the details of the faces. If I had known I would made 3d scans and prints with these models before, I would have made them bigger to carve them better.. So I did my best with the painting!

Some years ago, when I presented my fossa here, a Canadian member asked me for a copy but by these times I had no way to do that. Few years after, when one of my sons told me that he had the opportunity to scan and print 3D model at his office, I tried with the fossa and then, my wife offered a 3D print to me so that I can continue to get and share some species yet never released or very hard to find. These models are not to be sold, just offered or traded. :)

Beautiful models!!
