Indian Elephant
« on: April 11, 2011, 09:21:08 »
I had a go a few months back at at Indian lady which didn't come out too bad. While surfing ebay I managed to get hold of a reasonable priced elephant and had the wild urge to decorate so here's my little group. I might even do a palace later to go with them.











Oh and I had to do something very nasty to get that klicky to ride the elephant, it would have brought tears to the guys eyes!

(Oh and for the nit pickers  ::) I know the ears are wrong for an Indian elephant it looks more like an African but I work with what I got.)
Improvise, adapt, overcome ..... If all else fails FAKE IT!

Emma, what did you use for the part that actually straddles the elephant's back? Is it playmo? The part the person sits in looks like a crib.... I don't know how you are about sharing your secrets, but I'm curious!
