Florian's additions (updated 13 rd September 2016) :)

Wonderful photos!
Wonderful figures!
Wonderful display!

And I really like that plastic (glass?) tier steps you use to display your animals.
Could you tell me where I could buy one?

Thank you Roger, Whitelighting Wolf, Lucky luke and Andreas for your words :)

Thank you Simone :) For the glass, it's my father who has bought this in a shop called RETIF in luik. He gave me them :)

Thank you Florian for your answer.
Your father gave it to you.
Give him a hug from me.

I smile.

WOW !!! FOUR fabulous figures

The nyala is so absolutely perfect, - what more can we say ? Anna, you are a glittering, bright star

I also love that Australovenator !!! But I can't find it in Urzeitshop.de , - perhaps they are sold out ?

I look so much forward to getting the tiger , - your photos are wonderful

Congrats Florian

Every model is with his glory :)

Big Congrats Florian. thanks for the photos.

Very nice additions. Congratulations!

Congratulations, beautiful models! The standings tigers are amazing, it was a good idea to buy two

Thank you Julie, Susanne, Andreas, Costa, Donny, Laura and Andrea for the congratulations hehe

I think it was a very clever decision from you to get that Ana's Nyala, I wished I could afford it and I warrant you I wouldn't give you the chance of getting it.
I am glad it found a great place and I love every single figure from this last batch.

Florian, you choose very well your figures! Not that less accurate figures are not interesting collectables but you have clearly a preference for figures that try to represent the real thing in a very faithful way. These CollectA, Mojö, Papo, etc., are all very nice additions and we can see how high is the bar. Even if there is no comparison between a mass produced figure and a homemade figure, we can see that our regular toys are getting closer to the quality of these homemade. Painting of CollectA's grevy's is very good for a mass produced figure. The other Grevy's is just perfect as expectable from these two talented Artists and friends. Your collection is very beautiful and an inspiration and you can show it with great pictures!

Phantastic additions again Florian :)

Thank you very very much Roger :) I've indeed seen that CollectA has released an amazing model : the Grévy's zebra. Even if this one hasn't the same quality of work than the homemade one, it is a big surprise for a figure coming from a mass production.

It is true when I was younger, I less payed attention to figure's real aspect, morphology, ... and since I'm a true collector, I pay attention to these details that makes a figure more realistic, like if they were pictured at the moment :)

Thank you Andreas :)

A delightful flock, and such wonderful pictures

Of course the model by Anna, painted by Joan, is absolutely magnificent
But as Roger says, the CollectA one does not at all stand out as the "poor cousin". CollectA has done a fantastic job there !!!!!

When I think back to the models we had to choose from just 4 - 5 years ago, there has been a fabulous jump forwrd in the beauty and realism in the models,

Even Schleich has brilliant models now and then, as we see in your lovely photos of the beautyful oryx
This is not to blame Schlech in general, - they have another market strategy, perhaps directed more at smaller children, and that is fine.

You have an amazing collection of dinosaurs and African wildlife! I especially like your photography. You're able to make these animals look so natural.
