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

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. picture 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: picture |

Murvihil, luv the ducks! I'm almost afraid to ask what army does this belong to? |
| Murvihill | 15 Nov 2009 6:50 a.m. PST |
I play generic, so these are basically mercenaries. The ducks themselves came from Fortress Figures. |
