So i invite you to post them here. maybe im the only one. who knows but it woule be good to find out

What a fabulous zoo

It is SO inspiring, - I wished I could draw. It must be heaps of fun to make

Oh No! looks like im the only one.

Wonderful map and I remember You shown here some photos of Your zoo before, yes? Beautiful project :)

You are not the only one who build miniature zoo, I know at least 4 other people with their work in progress on similar projects. One of them is member of this forum also but he rarely writes here. I think this kind of projects are fantastic but require a lot of space, sometimes also lot of money or/and skills (when You need to do buildings and enclosures) and also time. That's why, probably, not many people is doing this :) However if You could share more pics of Your zoo it would surely be pleasure to see and maybe You will inspire more collectors to try?

I used to make a whole farm life diorama, I still have all the parts, maybe I will remake it. I have tons of wooden fences too, I've never tried to make a zoo, I don't have many fake plants and stuff. You're not alone! I used to love to set up all of my animals on out living room floor and leave it up for days on end and just look at it.

Nice map goathearder, and continue your adventure, and Ana is right, you are definitely not alone.

What a wonderful zoo project- you realize that what i like since my childhood

Thank you all for your comments.

Its nice to share my little Obsession with like minded people.

it is something me and the kids spend alot of time on. we have just started making our own animals
( mostly birds).

But i would really like to see other peoples homemade zoos. So Please tip out the boxes, empty the Shelves and get building. Especially kgroot orang-utan enclosure.

It really cool to built your own zoo! As what Anna mentioned " it requires money and space" I guess it may not happens to me and especially live in Singapore. Once again thanks for showing, I like it!!!

thanks again for all your good vibes

Its true I do have loft space to bulid it. but i spend hardly any money on it. its made out of junk that i find like drift wood, old wood,computer packing and of course plastic plants. paint and glue and paper mache and a few screws. Also off cuts from a fabric store which are free. the actual animals cost the money . thats why we started making our own.

Wow, it looks like heaven to play in I would spend there hours if I were kid and seriously also now I would be happy to play there and build zoo As a kid I used to build zoos with my animals on table or in my room on the floor but it was nothing as impressive as this :)
