Great work, Jeff,
a very nice set you finished there.
Just can't find a battle throughout the French and Indian War where they used Elephant drawn artillery , otherwise I probably would have had to kill the piggy bank.

The elephant would have looked much better in green

That is a superb paint job Jeff. Thanks for the photo ride along.

How do you get the wheels painted so nice?

Hi KV,

I take it you mean neatly? If so....after the rims have been painted in the gunmetal colour I just go round and touch up any over painting with a very small and good quality brush (and a steady hand).

Bernard,
No such thing as 'too many pints of Guiness'
There's always room for one more.

I did . So, you are just doing it the hard way then. I had hoped you had a trick like running the wheel over a paint pad whilst using a pencil for a shaft.
It is very neatly done. I hope it will find a good home. E-Bay UK prehaps?

The Elephant Battery has now found a new home and is on its way to its owner as I type this. I’ll leave it to the forum member to come forth (if necessary).

Many thanks

Jeff
