I've finished two more dead elephants, displayed here next to their live equivalents. All the elephants are Gripping Beast resin; tidy little models. I must say these are very nice products; very nicely sculpted; I wonder whether GB designed them for their own Zama project? I picked up the two dead models at the Salute B&B for a fiver. the pair. Bargain!
I've tried to make the dead elephants match live ones I painted two or three years back.
I tried to make the two models just a little different from each other, by adjusting the trunk position and adding a wounded crewman to the left-hand one. I did a bit of retouching on the two live elephants I completed earlier.
4 dead nellies down; 2 to go!

You've done a great job painting them to match the live ones. You'd never know a couple of years had separated the sessions!
Cheers,

Thanks Prufrock! The new ones are a slightly different colour, but they won't be on the table at the same time, anyhow.
Perfect match! I don't think you need that many more arrows, 3-4 per animal looks 'just right'.
I do like those.
Those are going to look great on the tabletop Simon. I have just based up my small contribution to the Numidian cavalry for our game. Inspired by your pictures I have stolen the random skirmish formation basing idea.

Thanks chaps!
Adam, I like your basing. I've been thinking about adding clouds of "dust" (thinned-out hampster bedding) to mine.
Very nice. The wounded crew are a nice touch.
I love these diorama-like dead elephants. Or did you say they serve a function in your games? Either way, they look great.
Hi Andrew, they are largely decorative, but we are toying with making areas where multible units perish, turn to bad going.
