| Check out this really neat folder on Brickshelf: (URL) creator calls it "microscale" but I think most would agree it's not really microscale (smaller than minifig scale). Instead these animals are sculpted at a scale much closer to real than minifig (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.sculpture)

| Hey Anthony, Way to go with the swans! I was hoping you would show us a picture of them all "dressed up." They look great! The cake topper is good as well.
