Nice giraffes.  Mrs Orcs like Girraffes and I keep thinking about painting a pack up for her.

Good work, both of you!

I picked some of these up at Fiasco - I was quite surprised how big they are. Not sure why this is surprising, as I have seen giraffes, and they are tall!!

Looking good, Nobby.

I have to admit I was surprised how 'big' an awful lot of the 'zoo' animals were...when I looked their sizes up on the 'net'....and how large they would appear next to one of my '6 foot' tall dollies.
The rhino, the lion and the giraffe, in particular !!

Lovely. I really like the comparison to the WWI tanks. Those are BIG vehicles too! Is that dark spots over a light base, or light waffle pattern over a dark base?

If you want to see just how big animals can (could..) get, try the 10mm scale dinosaurs from... another manufacturer... Tanks pale into insignificance with Triceratops, and even whole buildings pale into insignificance below a Diplodocus...

Thank you for the kind words.

It's dark spots over a pale ground. 

I#m quite surprise how chunky the MkV is. Fun to paint though.  :D
