Converting and Modifications (1 Viewer)

[beating retreat]

Hi Guys still testing the new cam out heres a conversion I did a while ago of a Carthaginian elephant. The figures and castle are from Irregular Miniatures painted without modification except for the mahout which I took the head off and replaced it with a resin head from Nemrod I also added the mallet and chisel to his belt, this was to dispatch the elephant with if it got out of control.The elephant as been recast in resin from a Britains old plastic zoo model

The elephant head cover and shabraque were made from milliput

John, nice work! I think your elelphant is a lot better than the Irregular Miniatures one, but they do have an extensive range of figures which paint up well as you have shown.

Wow, that's a fantastic piece, John! I think your resin cast is really well done.

Now you just have to make a whole detachment of them

Prost!

Isn't that hammer and spike to put the elephant "down?"

Hi Jeff youre right I was put off by the Irregular elephant and felt this was a better sculpt, I agree about Irregular figures though I like them a lot especially the prices

Cheers John

Hi Scott thats correct but apparently only used if the elephant was in danger of charging back into its own lines

Cheers John

John,
Well, I guess the new cam works! Very nice piece. I love the "Nubian" with excellent paint job and additions on everything! Thanks for posting this masterpiece.
