Retailer MalayanTapir-The 1:20 Tapirs

The Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus), also called the Asian tapir, Asiatic tapir, Oriental tapir, Indian tapir, or piebald tapir, is the largest of the five species of tapir and the only one native to Asia.[3] The scientific name refers to the East Indies, the species' natural habitat. In the Malay language, the tapir is commonly referred to as cipan, tenuk or badak tampung. Malayan tapirs grow to between 1.8 and 2.5 m (5 ft 11 in and 8 ft 2 in) in length, not counting a stubby tail of only 5 to 10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 in) in length, and stand 90 to 110 cm (2 ft 11 in to 3 ft 7 in) tall. They typically weigh between 250 and 320 kg (550 and 710 lb), although some adults can weigh up to 540 kg (1,190 lb).

The 1:20 Tapirs Series consists of 5 different finely sculted and painted figurines depicting 4 of the 5 recognised species of the tapir family. All pieces in this series are set at 1:20 scale.

Each original work piece is sculptured in clay. Replicas are casted retailer in resin, prepped, painted with acrilic and sealed with Krylon finish. All my products are 100% handmade in Canada by me. I strive to depict the most realistic animals and show their physical and spiritural features in finest details.

Because of the inevitable damage to the molds during casting, all my products are limited edition. Due to the fact that every piece of my work is handmade in every stage, and some stages like paining and sealing has certain requirements on the weather, a process time of 1-2 weeks is estimated but variable due to conditions like temperature and humidity. I try to make my products excel in every detail. If more accurate estimation of precess time is needed or in case of urgent order, please contact me in advance. For bulk buy (more than 10 pieces at a time), please also contact me in advance for better estimation of process time.

Please note that due to screen setting and the mere fact that each piece is hand-painted,slight color difference between the product and the pictures may exist and is not accepted as a defect.

In the case of damage during shipping, I will accept exchanges. But it is stongly adviced that you fix it yourself to avoid multiple shipppings, since such damages are minor and easy to fix with super/instant glue.
