Jaz Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 and here is the gi...raffe ... 3878 to me it appears to be brown patches on a creamy white 3881 with black tipped horns and some shadows and black tipped eyes 3882 the photograph shows the patches don't cause enough white lines 3883 3884 so some touch ups 3885 3886 still some pits to fill out and make the white lines between patches..... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I have a test piece for trains and thought the green might help with 'the look' 3887 the baby elephant Edited January 8, 2015 by Jaz 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL 'O THE WYND Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I'm reminded of a time, way back in the seventies, when the Fire Brigade were called in to help. A male giraffe, mating, had splayed his legs sideways and was lying belly down on the ground. Several attempts to lift him were made, over a day or so, but if I recall correctly, the ultimate result was not good... It was front page in all the papers, and TV news, too.

HAL 'O THE WYND Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 red gorillas telegraph.co.uk I swear this is true: In 1953 - age five - we came down to London on holiday and went to the zoo where we fed a gorilla with plums, through the bars of its cage. It popped them in its mouth then spat the stone out, an image I vividly recall... Health and safety, huh! LOL Hal. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Hal. at the zoo with Kal and the kids, we were near the orangutang while we were eating icecreams, the sign said don't feed the animals, but a big boy was gesturing to eat an ice-cream Kal threw him the last bit......an employee on a bike came over and said you can't do that....Kal looked around and said....I just did......The guy looked....thought about it and just rode off. The big orangutang savoured his ice-cream........ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Didn't look anything like as friendly .................... baby hippo imgaecade.com ............. when I just wanted to paddle a canoe half -a-mile round him ................. didn't look very "Smily" seconds later either ....... and - 10 yards away!!!!!!!! ......... ................................... surprising just how fast it is possible to flail dip the odd paddle into a river when one of them "yawns" at you that close ......... probably not the best time to recommend Colgate either ....... PS. Note to Jaz - whilst I am on the subject .... those teeth are definitely not white ........................... but don't mention it to the Hippo ...... they don't look like they would appreciate the advice ...
