Elephants - then and now

As a comparison to the big collections of 1/35 dinosaurs, elphants are great.

I like the big buddy of Eofauna und wanted to have also a modern day elephant in comparison.

But for the elephants I wanted to have little dioramas.

There will be also an asian elephant and a mammoth in future.
But here are my fist.

Hope you like the photos.

..yes! I like your photos Christoph!.. these "dio-socles" bring out these figurines. The Eofauna Straight tusks elephant is very impressive and I love this african elephant, which brand is it from?..

These dioramas work really well with these figures! You did a great job and I think everything looks more animated and realistic like that.

wonderful!!.. what's the species of the one on the right in the middle, anancus?..

Thank you very much.

It's a Stegodon.

Very beautiful collection Christoph

I saw The stegodon and deinotherium on eBay. They are very tempting but alas very pricey too.

thank you Christoph! :)

Thank you Kiki.

I catched both of them on Taobao, with support of "supperbuy".

I get the painted versions for 75$ each and I was very happy cause the Stegodon was the last one.

Well done! I like your small dioramas very much.

I just noticed this topic Christoph!  Nice work!  Nice to see my elephant and mammoth here.  You painted them beautifully! The other models are great too! I love the mini platforms. The snow details at the mammoth are really made very nicely!

Trank you so much. Your figures are great. How about an african Forest elephant? I would need one.

Thanks! I'll make one someday, it's an animal that's for sure on my wishlist, but currently very busy and also some more other animals in between.

A newcomer (Phiomia) and the rearranged group.

I know the steppe mammoth is 1/40, but only for the biggest ever ound example, a huge animal with 4.6 m shoulder height.
For an average example with 4m, it's fine for 1/35.

I am very tempted by tams7prairie models and this Phomia was on my wishlist, it seems very detailed and I love your painting. Could you tell us more about the quality and material?

The figure with a base are very detailed. Hard plastic.

The bigger ones a re typical 3D printer material.
You can see the printer lines, but only a litte bit.
Oberall I'm very happy with the models.
I will also buy the other 1/35 models.
Unfortunately his printer is not big enough to print the bigger models, like mastodon etc. also in 1/35

Models are still work in progress

Where did you get that figure? was that 3D printed too?

The Stegodon is a chinese model.
I got it here, but I don't think that it's still available in 1/35.
