So fun to see a Portugal group!
That comparison with primates is again a surprising one. I even googled to be sure gibbons are that small and they really are much smaller than I expected. We're always learning with your scale topics.

Building a collection by scale always brings its share of surprises, including for me. I like to shake up certainties and preconceptions.

beautiful collection again!

Thank you Taylor

Perhaps my favourite shelf so far. So much variety, so much colour! I love the birds, the ducks in particular. Great that you have ducklings too.

Another great scale topic! I used to have a lot more large Safari WW models but many were ruined from flooding and I had to throw them out. I'd like to get more again. The Orangutan is beautiful and so is the panda.

I don't have the macaque but I think it needs to join my collection as I expand my primates...

Love those ducks! The Kaiyodo mandarin is gorgeous.

I hadn't really noticed that this floor was more colourful than the others - I'm glad you like it!
I'm not much of a mum, dad and kids person when it comes to my collection, but these ducklings are really excellent.

I'm sorry that so many wonders didn't survive the floods. I love these two WW too.
The macaque is an absolute must-have and the Mandarin duck is so charming that it has prevented me from buying any others - it's the only one in my collection.

Wonderful "shaking up pictures"!

Do you have the Schleich eagle owl and if yes, is it at the same scale than this Safari one?

Thank you Alain

I can't help with the Schleich eagle owls, I don't own them and I must say these two models have never appealed to me.

I have them and can take some photos if you would like

Oh it would be very kind Jolie!

Congratulations, wonderful photos and collection

Merci Jean-Luc and thank you Jolie for helping Alain
