The mahout in front looks more like a statue of Buddha. And agreed the elephant is a little small for all the weight that it's got. |

Perhaps a young one?
But yes, you're right. it looks a little on the small side.
But the closest I've been to an Indian elephant was in a zoo. |

To be fair, it may be the riders and not the elephant. Ebob Is known for his finer proportions for his horses and elephants. Surprisingly in 28mm scale, it doesn't take much to throw things off…even camera perspective. Perhaps a shot at elephants eye level will make some difference too. |

Googling suggests that the height of a full grown Indian male should be 2.7m at the shoulder, I'd estimate this one (from the minis) must be around 2m, so perhaps it is a young male. |

My vote goes for a young elephant male… Amicalement

The Ebob Indian Elephant (they can be from around 6.5 to 9ft at the shoulder, so are pretty small) is spot on to the scale of my 28mm Indians – I wanted to represent what was likely available in great numbers (apparently the larger beasts were rarer and thus highly prized) rather than the huuuge ellies in some ranges, but it's down to individual tastes and perceptions really!! This is a better scale shot to the figures…
And actual Indian Elephants and the look I wanted…
Cheers for the post Tango01! Dave |
