Two more toys perfect for repurposing and rebasing. Mumaks for my 1/72 Middle Earth project!

DFang, I am jealous of them, nice Mammoths.

What store did you find them at?

I'm sorry, but in the best tradition of Messrs Armstrong and Miller, I just have to say –

"Yooo lak Mammof? Me lak Mammof"

- from a series of sketches based around prehistoric humans engaging in primitive small talk.
Very funny, but certainly topped by the RAF pilots and their "street talk".

Random. Innit.

Very good possibilities there- but I have one point- you mentioned rebasing them. Do you plan to mount them on bases? I would think they should be stable enough to stand on their own. A base would look awkward at that size, IMHO.

Acharnement, you're right, the bases would look quite awkward. I'll concentrate on the howdahs first and worry about the base later, but I see your point. Thanks!

I converted this 20 years ago from a rubber toy for use in my Battlesystem army.

Looking at yours made me dig it out.
Thanks for the memories. :)

@dglennjr: Got these at the toy department of Landmark Trinoma, a mall here in the philippines:)

@Scot Gore: fantastic pic! I'm looking at the LOTR stuff from GW to get inspiration for the howdah.

Here's another converted from an African elephant from the dollar tree:

Murvihil, luv the ducks! I'm almost afraid to ask what army does this belong to?

I play generic, so these are basically mercenaries. The ducks themselves came from Fortress Figures.
