1:22 African Forest Elephant:UPDATE

looking fantastic Andrew, l like the new pose too.

Thanks everyone, its been a fun project so far, I've also started an adult forest cow too.

Very very good again (o)): (o)): (o)): (o)): (o)): (o)): (o)):

This is killing me, too good for words. I want this figure, it's going to be phenomenal

Are you going to make a mold or 3-D copies available? I know it is a different procedure for 3-D copies but it might be easier then casting the originals.

Andreas, cattlecollector thanks.

Moulds might be a possibility, I'll let you guys know if that happens.

I love the pose with the trunk! So realistic and interesting. Excellent work so far.

This pair will be really beautiful You have a lot of talent Andrew

Oh, l love her Andrew. They're going to be such an amazing pair, if you do make moulds I'd be very interested!
Are the tusks made from a different clay?

Thanks, the tusks are just toothpicks at this point, I will be sculpting some new ones from epoxy putty for the finals.

I made some epoxy putty tusks which cure to a perfect ivory colour.
Next step is to refine the anatomy and then texture.

I get a thrill every time I see them, they are just beautiful. Love the tusks, perfect colour!

They are absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see more

I've started adding texture to the model after it has been baked.



Compared with 1:32 Britains 1310 African elephant

That is amazing Andrew!!! The color, the texture! Oh, congratulations! You are amazing!

This model is just beautiful! I like the mud on its back, too! Great detail!

Thanks, the brown is actually from the model getting burnt in the oven, I still need to paint this elephant when I'm done texturing it.

What a fantastic figure!

A dream is coming alive This model capture the beauty of this fantastic animal, you are really impressive Andrew !

A mould would enjoy a lot of STS member I guess

I've never done that, sculpted more detail after it's cured. It's amazing work Andrew, I'm very much looking forward to seeing it painted.

Amazing work, better and better congrats!

BEautiful! I love the way you sculpted texture, amazing!

Wow on the first picture I have think that it's an real elephant
It's so beuatuyful (o)): (o)): (o)):
