Actually, I think I work with the little orange fellow in the fez.

Genius Peder. Matakishi's cat has made it to the jungle!

Fantastic set of specimens, Sir!

Lovely work on the cat!

And excellent work of the coati!

Of course you are still missing, that most noble of creatures, the urubu.

Or as we, the select few millions who have it as our mascot, prefer to see it.

Thanks all.

That condor is a bit big, I think I have already overdone things a bit, the barge's hold probably wont be big enough for all these critters.

It's been a lot of fun to paint them but not all that easy, patterns on drab colour snakes, for example, quite difficult to mimic, the best one can hope for in many cases is a caricature or approximation.

Very nice painting on them animals - I also laughed at the cat. Carlos - I'm just happy for you those aren't black and white stripes

Cracking update Peder

It must be difficult to paint them in such quality as they are much smaller than normal 28s

How are you going to do the cages

cheers

Love the animals - so much details - how on earth will you fit them all in Noah?

Bloody brilliant, sir.
Stunning paintwork.

But I have to agree with the others:

Well, for the aviary I have started to cut out frames from 1,5mm plasticard; small enough to fit the hold but large enough to fit all the parrots. I will superglue a nylon mesh on the inside. I bought this product marketed as 'camouflage netting' which it is rather unsuitable for, since it is to even and rigid to look good. It is perfect to simulate a steel mesh as it is thinner than what you could hope for in a aluminium mesh. So there is some hope one will be able to discern the critters inside the cages.

For some birds I think I will try to solder a classic bird cage like such:

By the way, all crates and cages will have loose bottoms so I can pluck the beasts out, should I need to.

Good luck with the soldering

Looking forward to seeing the results

cheers

James
