Harriet's fabulous Temminck's Tragopan walkaround by kikimalou

A few days ago, Harriet sent me a wonderful bird, the Temminck's Tragopan. I like very much this colorful pheasant and, as usual, Harriet worked wonders to make a fantastic model for me.
Thank you very much Harriet for the time you spent for me and congratulation for your talent    

So, what is a Temminck's Tragopan ?

It is a medium-sized, approximately 64cm long, pheasant. The male is a stocky red-and-orange bird with white-spotted plumage, black bill and pink legs. It has a bare blue facial skin, inflatable dark-blue lappet and horns. The female is a white-spotted brown bird with blue circular eye skin. The Temminck's Tragopan is distributed in forests of northern South Asia, from northeast India, northwest Vietnam, Tibet and northern provinces of China.

and now the pics  

Every detail is perfect! The figure is an excelent choice, the pictures are magnificent! Harriet again let us without words to comment.
Congratulations Christophe, those are unique moments in the life of a great collector as you are and thanks for showing with such justice the monuments that are made from our Cumbrian talented friend!

I don't understand why brands don't make breeds of birds like this, it could be easily made of plastic. Of course, paintwork is another story

Its ABSOLUTELY amazing!
Congrats Christophe!

true that.
gorgeous model of a gorgeous bird!

Thank you all

I'm really happy Harriet agreed to make this bird for me. Tragopans are luxurious looking animals. There are some in the zoos here and I always wanted a replica. Of course I thought and still think no company would make such a bird, they would prefer to produce a safer peacock. I understand their choice... So I asked Harriet and she made a somptuous Tragopan for me

Harriet, if you make a mold, make the new one a bit different because I will buy one I would be so happy to see Tragopans spreading on STS collectors shelves

Indeed, there are so many birds I would like to put on my shelves

Susanne, I will have enough time to make the Pyrenean bear walkaround you asked me. I postponed it because I couldn't wait to show you the Tragopan !

O.o Stunning!

Absolutely gorgeously perfect!!!!!! Love it!!!!
Great job Harriet!!!!!
