I can see some of these creations starring in children's books

Frightening, but in a lovely way... Thanks!

Precisely! 

I wonder if  it swallows Mig-21s whole?

[ericr]

thanks all !

I haven't evaluated its gobbling capacity yet : it is sitting in the cupboard with others : I guess I should check for disappearing neighbours but it is a bit slim, as a F5A, so I don't expect it to be a big eater

thanks, I am not sure art galleries would be much more positive than non-whif modellers, but I like navigating here and there 

if you know an interested gallery north of the Manche, maybe I could travel a bit to go and see 

One thing you could try is ello, a social media site for artists and creatives, There is all kinds of stuff on there, along with the open-minded bunch who post it all. Might be worth posting your best work there and see if it gets a reaction. Ello is also nice because it doesn't harvest your details or throw advertising at you or anything like that. You can find me as @steelpillow but I don't do much on it because I have so little time to spare. It is at: https://ello.co/ (NB, not ello.com, that is something very different).

Some, but I can see others giving children nightmares.  The propeller faced giraffe for example.  It scares the heck out of me...

A flock of them taking off over the savannah and flying into the setting African sun would be more lyrical than scary.

OTOH a herd of them charging down on you with necks lowered might not!

More than mere beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

I think it's the lack of eyes and the rotating blades.  HR Giger meets Dr Moreau.

thanks for the link, I will have a look : if the atmosphere is as benevolent as here, it certainly is interesting

it is often a surprise and always interesting to see how people project themselves on a modest creation

remains of the day again, always the same principle but always different results ...

so, in my stash/spares box, remaining from previous projects, I had a BK117 fuselage, and crocodile legs :







funny to see how things fit by themselves (nearly, when helped a bit)

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!  Very cool.

I call shotgun! 

One of these in the Jurassic Park livery would be interesting.

Hehehe, that looks great, you can almost see it waddling across the ramp.
