That's a really good effort. You can hardly see that it's an addition to the model.

That's good, thanks :>

Fabulous work :D

c:

It looks flawless to me!

I wouldn't call it flawless, but the gif does make it harder to see the flaws. :3

Still, it looks really good to me!

Cuteness!

Big bellied foxes are the best kind of foxes ;D

Awesome work with this! Honestly, I couldn't even notice where the belly blended into the actual model until I hit full view, and even then it's not very noticeable. I'd say it's really good! :D

Looks like a Schleich figure - not sure if you did any painting on the face but I like the expression on this one.

I always buy any new deer I come across (which isn't many).

it is indeed, and yeah I repainted the whole thing. The face before wasn't that great.

I'm always on the look out for a good deer figure. The only one I've found that actually isn't bad is this mojo whitetail buck (standing in the background there), their doe doesn't look nearly as good though. Still looking for a good doe.

Ah, I was actually curious what's on the background, looked like two horses at first.

Never heard about Mojo but checking them online the buck looks pretty decent indeed.

mhm, I took a few pics of him here https://difetra.tumblr.com/post/160.....o-atop-my-desk
The other is the Breyer Breeds of the World Mustang.

The sculpting, eyes especially, look very similar to the Schleich ones, but the paint job is much better.

Yay for sculpted deer bits. The Scleich buck is packing too - mostly balls though.

Fox fat > Fot

Have you looked into Papo figurines? They have some pretty nice details and paintjobs.

incoming ramble about figures since I don't have anything better to do until dinner.

I have looked at their figures before, but out of curiosity I gave them another look. Overall I think I like their fox better, it has a more interesting pose and the colors are nicer, though sculpt is more important than color to me since I don't mind painting them. That said it's a bit less detailed then the schleich with bolder fur patterning obscuring any of the more subtle details. I think schleich in general is pretty good at getting really small clean details into their molds.

Looking at other Papo figures I kinda wouldn't mind having the reindeer, the buck is one I considered, but I liked the mojo one a bit better. The white-tailed doe actually looks pretty decent, I don't remember if I looked at it before, but I may get it.

May as well add that https://www.minizoo.com.au/ is pretty awesome since they seem to have just about everything in one place and ship worldwide for a reasonable price. :p

We have Schleich in every store here. So I look at their figurines pretty regularly. And most of them are pretty good. I even have some of them.
But I still feel like Papo adds finer detail to their figurines, down to the ballz. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16280354/
But maybe I was just lucky with the ones I picked :) I know Schleich has a lot of variation in their model quality.
I will definetely look into minizoo.

Oh and I worked with Apoxie Sculpt before, to fix rips in my prints. Its a 2 component putty and it hardenes really well and smooth.
I wonder how that would perform for something like this.

Schleich quality does seem to vary quite a bit from model to model, though that seems to be a thing with any of the toy makers. They have a handful of really nice horses while others are pretty derp looking. They do have the advantage of being in most of the farm supply stores around here. For me Papo is definitely has a number of good figures, I just seemed to notice they look a little rougher compared to some of the really fine hair detailing on my my schleich horses. Regardless I think they're both good. Actually I just noticed Papo is the one who makes these rather interesting anthroporphic figures, I have the "dragon mutant" which is remarkably detailed and well painted for the price. https://www.minizoo.com.au/search.p.....ery=mutant+man

I have heard of using stuff like that for this kind of thing since It doesn't shrink and hardens well. I may consider that in the future.
