Okapi Sculpt

I've just finished sculpting an Okapi. I made it yesterday, but because it's big it will take a little longer to dry, so I might have to wait until tomorrow to paint it. It's in scale with the Schleich Okapi, maybe slightly bigger. But here it is...

Thank you WH!

My favourite of your sculptures so far

I really like the ears and the tail. And the fact that it looks alert yet relaxed at the same time. I can't wait to see her painted

I agree. You did a great job on her. I can't wait to see the finished product. The pose is great.

Looks great so far, I can't wait to see the photos of the paint job. Congratulations on another new addition to you handmade zoo!

Very fine Harriet

Do you still find a moment to sleep a little bit ?

I cant wait to see the coloured version.

One day, it would be cool to show us a pic of all your models together.

Thank you Amy, Phil and Kiki. Today I will paint it. After I have finished painting the Zebra I made yesterday, I will take a picture of all my made models together and post it here.

Eeee a zebra ? Must see !

Wonderful work there,Harriet!I am waiting for a calf,too!

She is fabulous !

You really got those stripes spot on

Thank you WH and Rio!! I really would like to make a calf as well, maybe tomorrow I will sculpt one

She looks awesome. Congratulations on making such a great model and thanks for sharing the photos. Now you have to show us the zebra instead of just teasing us.

Excellent paint job, Harriet! :)

Thank you Kiki. The Zebra I have made is slightly bigger also (to the Schleich Zebras), but you don't notice it really. It's hard getting the scale right, but as I said you don't notice it.

Here you are Kiki, a picture of all the models together. It's funny how small the collection looks when you get them all together.
