I'm working on a Conan "Tower Of The Elephant" scenario and want to build a Yag Kosha fig in 28mm. I can round up a human body easy enough, but what can I use for the elephant head? I'm thinking maybe a 15mm elephant head would scale well with a 28mm human body. Maybe a 10mm? What do you think?

If a 10/15mm head would work, what manufacturers should I look at? Thanks!

Try a historical range… 15mm Carthaginian, or (Classic) Indian, or possibly Greek Successor. Not sure where you would find a single elephant…. perhaps Essex. Old Glory 15mm would be a pack of elephants and crew.

Not totally sure how easy it will be to remove the head though.

Actually, you might find some thing already made up, like this Reaper miniature…

Try your local Dollar Store. Pick up a bag of zoo animals and chop off the head of a plastic Elephant.

Perhaps use a 15mm elephant head on a 28mm body?

Kropotkin303, that's what I thinking. Since I have no 10mm/15mm elephant models, I was thinking maybe a 10/15mm head would scale well mounted on a 28mm body. But I have nothing for reference to measure them up together. Ideally, I'd prefer something realistic instead of "cartoony" as many of the small toys look (smiling expressions, lack of detail, etc.).

Thanks, piglet. Do you know which one it is? I went through all the ranges on the right side of the website, but couldn't seem to find anything with an elephant head. I must be missing it.
