War Elephant

G'day All,
today, a 1/72 War Elephant and crew from Zvezda - I hope you like it :)
Painted for my son's collection.

  1. Excellent work all around. This makes me feel like spending the 30$ they're priced at my local hobby shop!

    1. Thanks FF.
      $30 seems a bit steep, the set goes for about $20 from Model Hobbies in the UK, even with postage should still be about $25.

  2. Whoa, Nellie!

    That's lovely work, JS. I expecially like the detail you've achieved with the elephant's skin.

  3. Cheers mate :) The nice wrinkly Heffalump sculpt made it easier to paint.

    1. Ha! I knew you'd say something like that, trying to entice me into your Ancient snare of doom :D
      Thanks for saying such nice things though ;)

  5. Very nice work, but I bet you still snuck some khaki on there somewhere ;-) I saw the set of Elephant Armour they have at the Royal Armouries Museum a couple of years back, must have been bloody terrifying facing one of these in the flesh!

    1. No, the brush didn't go near Khaki or "English Uniform" on this occasion - I'll have to paint some Tommies to get my fix.....;-)
      I'm glad you liked the Jumbo, I certainly wouldn't like to have been in its path either.

  6. Wow! Cavalry is colourful, camelry is cool but Jumblery is just the business. I can hardly believe it's plastic. Fantastic job.
