Yes, it sounds like the right thing to do, but... how do I do such a brushing, without coming up with a horribly ruined model by improper painting?
Some questions about producers making species:Is there someone making a Phocoenidae species and a Pigmy Right Whale (Neobalaenidae)?Someone out of Collecta making a Ziphiidae, Kogiidae, Platanistidae?Someone out of Safari doing a Right Whale (Balaenidae) and a Grey Whale (Eschrichtidae)?
Does anyone know if right whale dolphins have ever been made by any company, either Southern or Northern? The Southerns are my favorite cetacean. That Collecta beaked whale is pretty cool though. Would probably get one if the only sellers weren't from Australia.
Surprisingly those are some neat figures made my Happy Kin toys, considering its a more "cheaper" company, but im not saying the figures are bad. Also the Happy Kin Sea life sets can actually be found on Aliexpress

So, no porpoises made by major companies?
Quote from: Rossano on December 28, 2016, 02:05:13 AMHi AcroSauroTaurus, I am refreshing the focus on odontoceti (and actually on all cetaceans) just in these days, and realized that ziphiidae are the only family that I completely miss in the collection. The only one I know is this beautiful figure from Collecta, and it is the next on the list.I always considered it a great achievement for Collecta, but as I see it from your pic, the white spots on the back of the animal look way more neat and flat than in the official pic on the Collecta site. They don't look that much similar to real Blaiville's colour pattern, what do you think?It depends on the individual, but most have the big white spots, example:Overall, it is a really good figure of a never before made species, a must have for cetacean collectors.As for other beaked whale figures, theres the Strap-toothed Beaked Whale by Lontic/Nayab.Quote from: Rossano on December 28, 2016, 04:47:45 AMSome questions about producers making species:Is there someone making a Phocoenidae species and a Pigmy Right Whale (Neobalaenidae)?Someone out of Collecta making a Ziphiidae, Kogiidae, Platanistidae?Someone out of Safari doing a Right Whale (Balaenidae) and a Grey Whale (Eschrichtidae)?Schleich has a Northern Right Whale, as do Lontic/Nayab. the Colorata North Pacific Right Whale, AAA Northern Right Whale, PlayVisions Bowhead Whale, Kaiyodo Red Data Bowhead, Maia and Borges Northern Right Whale, and the CollectA Bowhead. As for Grey Whales, theres the Collorata Grey Whale, the now retired, but beautiful Schleich Grey Whale.
