Elephant's head

Joe York · 08-09-2007, 11:49 PM

I got so frustrated trying to glue on the hindquarters of Canon;s elephant that I cut off the head and put on a plaque and hung it on the wall
I kind of like it.

Looks good. Big Game Hunter!

I love it. With all of their models and Yamaha's models, you could have a heck of a trophy room.

Cool !!!!

I like what you did with this. Different and funny. Do some more.

I considered doing the same thing when I built mine.

Nicely done!!

Joe York · 08-10-2007, 12:11 PM

I'm going to start a collection. The heads always seem to come out ok but the bodies give me problems.

Nice job, Joe. I thought about doing that a few times. There are a lot of what would be called big game animal models available, so you can have quite a nice collection. All you would need then is a nice dram of Laphroaig.

It's really original.

I think it could looks great something like that over my fireplace. Maybe I'll do it.

Hi joe did that elephant a few models ago found it quite easy, a good turn on the model though putting it on a plaque....

No actual elephants were injured or killed during the filming...

Great substitute!

I used to work at a ski resort in the Rockies (Alberta,

) and (oddly) I was just mentioning to someone how barbaric all the stuffed animal's heads (including a buffalo's) looked on the walls...

Hi everyone, thanks for the comments. You did a great job Greenelf, looks great. But I have made up my mind , no more bodies just heads. Plus I'm kinda short on room to pu full size one. I have one nice empty wall.
P.S. I know I posted this in the wrong place. My first post so thanks for being nice about it.
