I have the Wargames Foundry Macedonian Successors elephant "crew" and tower, but they did not come with the elephant. (they were part of a lot I bought off ebay)

Other than 3D printing one (I don't have a 3D printer) are there any currently available common toys that would be about the right size?

Aventine do some lovely elephant bodies- I should think they would do you.

Contact Relic Miniatures B.C. Canada. I think they could work. Hope this helps

Check Schleich, Papo, and Safari Ltd (I think). Their websites should show their entire product lines. Cheers!

Thank you for the replies.

I had to navigate away from the thread for a while as I've had such negative interactions from Mike Evans of Relic via eBay. One should always be fair in their responses and not act out of emotion.

There's no way in h@!! I'll give them my money after being subject to his real "superior service".

This is one for the Consumer Affairs board, for sure!

Sgt Slag, thank you for the reminders, I'm thinking they are 1/24 scale, but they may have various sizes!

Simon, Aventine sounds like a good option.

Foundry has a draft elephant in their Northwest Frontier line that might be something you could use without too much modification.

So good, I have over 50 of them. They are a little larger that the Foundry model, but it shouldn't be an issue as elephants come in a variety of sizes. They are in a nice crisp resin, with metal details.

Irregular do several elephants

Aventine resin are suitable, but large:

The Foundry tower is probably scaled for a smaller Ptolemaic elephant:

Relic resin are very scale compatible, they have an un towered version:
