well, i am not only interested insects,but also some other collectiable things. model is an example. i want to have some or few insects model,built by resin for example. Xix.hero (big Prionidae from Fiji) for example. don't think you'll have some rarities in your life. it's just impossible... so.......having a model is a good idea?? the size should be life size,as realistic way as possible,the size is same as life size,and the color is same too. but the details is difficult. to do a Xix.hero,the maker is probally not a insects collector,so need to send him a real related/similar specimen for reference, to finlish Xix.hero, a Xixuthrus microcerus can be sent to the maker,he will know the construction well. so to make one for me. anyone ever has such ideas before? if you also like to have some insect models,please go on this topic.

5555$... if i were him,i'd perfer coming to Fiji for a try no matter failed or just being as a travel.
the life size model would be hard to make as delicate as possible as they are relativelly small. but the large models are not suiablt for private collection.
so the dream borken.
