Jumbo So Far!


DSCF0603

Here's my next (and last?) Sassanid pachyderm - it's intended to lead my 'unit' of elephants - five jumbos in a row should look impressive!  It uses various Aventine bits - their King's Elephant and mahout, plus a 'leather clad' tower and a 'scale-clad' standard-bearer/spearman from one of their elephant crews.  The other two figures are from A&A Miniatures.  I carved off most of the detail from the king's elephant, and have just 'sculpted' a new 'saddle pad' thingy from Milliput.  Once the Milliput has set, I'll sculpt some tassels and stuff to make it look fancier.  The elephant, once based will, of course, be rearing up!

I'm probably going to make a new, round, display base for the King's elephant, to do justice to it being my 'army commander'.
