everything i've seen that jim has created is sheer perfection. his attention to detail is uncanny. his miniatures are true miniatures of the real thing -- each piece is museum quality. the items he created for me are the highlights of my own miniature circus where i can book my own acts and display a menagerie that would rival any world-class zoo.

Wade, some years ago a small exhibitor down south told us that this is the source of Josip Marcan's white tigers.
