Congrats on those 2 little gazelles my friend!
Those are great indeed, and the smaller scales are still beautiful to indeed!

Then thanks Andreas, and i am on the same ship as you Andreas, sadly enough for us two...
But now i understand when we are both on the forum very late...
I saw you talking about tropical fish, but Egypt doesn't have that much, but enough other things to visit, i must still go there to.
IMHO everybody must have seen the big pyramids before you die, if possible of course...
Congrats on your Tom Major(indeed!) Oryx, it is there in 2 sizes, medium and very large!

Oh Willy, i am so sorry!! I think you mean that you want the same antelope but i get this? But if you mean this, i am agree with our Croco.
But with the fishes you are wrong. It is my second time in egypt with a hotel on the red sea. Our hotel have also a reef in the near so i hope to see a big lot of fishes.

Oh yessssssssssss!!! But i also want to find this fish species, that i saw last time in egypt.

Maybe you are right Ana, but both things are so different, culture and nature...
I think not seeing the pyramids when you are there, would be the same as not seeing the Eiffeltower when you go to Paris...
But i would surely go to the red sea of course, because i snorkled and dived a lot in my life, on a lot of places around the world.
Those are experiences you never forget!

I have both little antelopes Andreas, and yours to, haha...
I just wanted to congrat both of you on the new additions.
By the way, great booklett you have there.
I saw 3 of the Schleich corallfishes on the topcover on short notice, great pics for determination!

I had the great chance to visit Egypt 20 years ago. At that time, it was still possible to go inside the pyramid.

This is something I will always remember

Ah, okay. Many thanks!

I hope i can see the pyramids, because it is a long way from our hotel and the main problen can be cairo. At the moment you shouldnt go to caire as a tourist, the town is not safe.

I am planning to go there too!

I want to also share my group of antelopes and gazelles. As you may notice, some are recustomized, repainted or have missing horns--I have used parts of others to create my own antelope if it does not exist. For example, on the far right of the photo is a male and female Schleich Roe deer made into african bushbucks (still not accepting of the male's horns). I have another female I made. I tired my best to make the tessessby calf look like a topi w/ horns but not working for me...(located in far-left back). I had a Papo Gnu but traded it. Also, many customized animals from Ana and Harriet are also part of the mix:D . And many of my antelopes/gazelles number many as they are herd species (Tommies, Gnu, kudu). I am excited too to add on the new 2012 brands to this collection: All the new sables (multiples of the CollectA female), CollectA Waterbuck, Eland, Mojo male tommy (multiple) and depending on its size, Papo's Oryx. I also hope to add two custom made topis, Ana's and Harriet's Nyalas (do not like Noah's Pals Mountain Naylas, far-left side last picture), and Ana's famous Bongo (please Ana!!!! ). With all these hoofed animals in my diorama, I hope I have room for the others! All animals here will not make it to the diorama.

Gosh! Seanie, SO many lovely models

Wonderful!! Which brand are the impalas on the right side of your topi?

Good eye for a beauty, those are made by Harriet

Sorry, Sean, there is no place for compliment from my point of view... So many nice figures crippled that terrible way

Yup, those are Harriet's creations--the impalas are wonderful. Thanks for the kind words and I am excited to add the 2012 antelopes to my collections. Sorry Jarda you are offended by my recustomizing or repainting, but I typically have more than one of the antelopes I use parts from.

Wonderful, only wonderful!! Big congrats and hurray for Harriet!!!

Oh Seanie! What a wonderful collections!

I'm jealous of your three impala!

Hey Christophe, i hope when you decide to go there again, you won't be there in Egyptian clothes, otherwise they think that one of the great Farao's stood up again, haha...

A shame that you can go inside again anymore, but since human breath tears down the ancient drawings and stones slowly, it is better...

Very nice clutch of antelopes and gazelles Sean!

And here is my latest antelope addition from Jhudstone. A Banded Duiker! thanks!
