I'd like to introduce you to a couple of my recent custom orders, a Meerkat and a Maned Wolf. One animal you'll (hopefully, lol!) recognise and the other you may not. :)
The lady who ordered the meekat wanted him to be able to hold a book so I had to design him with jointed wrists. I did wonder whether I had bitten off more than I could chew when I was struggling with the 10mm discs and teeny tiny cotterpins required to make it work. Woah! Those things are really small!! Anyway we made it though OK I think. I decided to make the book myself too as I was worried that shop bought ones would be too large and/or heavy for a meekat to hold long term.
The Maned Wolf is probably not an animal that most of you are familiar with, I know wasn't until I was asked to create one. They kind of resemble a fox with really long legs, ineed they are also referred to as the 'Stilt-legged Fox', very cool looking animals.
I hope you like them.

I love them both, and I learned what a maned wolf is! (a South American native and quite endangered)
You take on the most interesting challenges. :clap: :clap: :clap:

DENBY BEARS Great work as usual, I was wondering how big they were? They look big in the pics, but you talk about small discs and kotter pins. Just curious.
I love Meerkats and that fox is just grand. Thanx so much for sharing
Hugs Pat 
Thank you so much everyone.
Mr meerkat measures approximately 9.75" to the top of his head. The maned wolf is 10.5" to the tip of her ears and 11" from nose to bottom (not including the tail).
