Andreas, we still miss that hard plastic chamois from Starlux on TAI. Could you provide a picture for TAI?

Here in compare with the hardplastic Starlux chamois

Starlux made several chamois in different sizes because it is an emblematic animal of French mountains.

Christophe, I agree with you.

Thank you, i only knew before the hardplastic figurines. Have you any informations about the composition models?

Composition models, as they were in Germany, Austria or other countries never really existed in France. The first STarlux were made in "Blanc de Meudon", a chalk based material but the company changed to Hardplastic in the 1950's.

This Chamois model isn't old. Are you sure it is made of compostion like Lineol or Elastolin? Is it the same material with metallic wires inside or does it look like something else?

Starlux made several Chamois and Izards for the Alpine or Pyrenean gift stores.

No, i am not sure but it looks similar snd the same feeling if you touch it. I also have now th chamois standing on a hill but the lizards could be very interesting for my zoo :)

Thank you. I found on ebay.de for a good price.

The Elastolin pangolin and the Lineol markhor

These composite animals look so beautiful (but are also so expensive).

my new black grouse and  hens (one is a female black grouse and the other?) and a seal , all Elastolin soft plastic and a small bird in the "Birds of the world" style

Could one of them be the female capercaillie (5552) or pheasant (5548)? Probably looks most like the capercaillie.

I think the large hen is a female capercaillie. I found they not so much expensive on a online shop (around 4€ each). Now the owner is a local friend.

Interesting catalogue, you have more pictures. Or a information if they are more unusual species like the Black grouse.

The catalogue is here:

When you have any time (no hurry), would you mind taking some close-ups of the individual birds, then I'll put them onto TAW. They are still missing there. The plastic Hausser Elastolins aren't so expensive, but the composite ones usually are. What is your friend's shop?
