Looks very good Monica. Animal coats can't be easy to replicate especially in such a small scale. Nice work. Those cats!

 

[Guest]

Great work moni, I don't think you have the cat in the right scale but very realistic (I could almost believe it is actually real) but you have not weathered the fur quite right, and of course the scale is all wrong. Either that or the cats down under are a lot bigger than they are here.

 

[monica]

so glad you like them Joe, spent hrs on the little guys and think there not to bad,

thats a small pussa Ken, she and the tom like to make my life harder by putting fur ever were, but cannot kick them out,

you should how big the tabby's and ginger ones get, twice as big as my ones,hard to mach in a 1.1 to 1.35, but no surgery on them

 

[Guest]

Yay not just figures but horses, donkeys and a dog, great work Moni im looking forward to this

 

[flyjoe180]

Our cat Charlie, not near my modelling area for once dropping hairs all over the place.

I know the doors are open and the cat flap is unlocked but I wish to come in through the window today. See to it human.

so glad you like them Paul / Joe, do try to get them some what right,

oh I do like him, what a nice boy,but the look on his face ; well open it ;

i think thats why i have a cold, as i leave my window open as they like to sit in it,

and watch me freeze,plus we have the cat flap open, as well so all the others come in and eat they food, nasty big tom,s

the furry black one is fuzzy, and the black/white one is vamp, and the white tabby is scrunchie,

and she is good and dose not real jump up when im at home only when im out, but the hair gets in all, but oh well,

 

[Guest]

Nice little Diorama Monica like the horse soldiers.

Looking good Monica but I think you and Joe should give your cats something to do when you are modelling egView attachment 197876

That is funny john, though you should consider contact lenses for the poor cat. I found glasses kept falling off my cats nose, got some contacts much better. His favorite read at the moment is Einstein's theory of relativity.(oh and from the look of that paper perhaps yours would be better reading a Chinese paper, I believe they read up and down right to left).
