Steller's Sea Eagle by Epoch, Series: Earth Life Journey Nice one Today I received a ....... H.K.Hollinstone Studio 1:10 Shoebill After looking for one for years without any success this is a true treasure to me. She is wonderful, Harriet - thanks so much!!! I'll cherish her like life itself . Not the same thing, of course, or even a close relative of the SHOEBILL, but I was lucky enough, a few years ago to be crabbing in a Louisiana bayou when I encountered a beautiful roseate SthingyBILL just few feet away when I rounded a corner in the salt marsh channel. HUGE, impressive, pink bird. We gawked at each other for a few seconds, before he shot off in an eruption of mud and feathers. Awesome. ;D Bizarre. The editor is changing Spo*nbill to to thingybill. Anyway it was a sp00nbill.

Miss, Mrs, Ms or maybe Dame Hollinstone . Your Shoebill is very well trained to pose for your pictures like that! I love to see people's works of art and that is absolutely stunning.

This is so wonderful, Harriet! Helge can call himself really lucky for this lovely shoebill. Is it now officially "H.K.Hollinstone Studio"?

Congrats Helge - what do you think about the stork?

Post by brontodocus on Jan 13, 2012 23:32:16 GMT
Hey, I'm especially impressed by how good the Science & Nature figure looks! On the other hand from the Schleich figures I probably like the pelican more than the stork.
