1:22 African Bush Elephant Cow:Completed

Stunning.

Code:

In regards to those asking about making copies of this model I have put a poll at the top of this page for voting to see how much interest there is for making a mould.
I'd like to know if there is enough demand for this model that would make it practical for me to mould it.Please let me know if you're interested!

It´s such a great art of work! I would be very proud having one in my collection too!

Bonjour Andrew,
Put me on your list for the bush Elephant cow. 

the front view of this elephant is what every collector will dream of.

amazing artistry

Great great great I can't wait

I still prefer the idea of getting asian elephants and african forest elephants by you, but this one just knocks me off,...

Absolutely awesome. Great job!

Gorgeous!

Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately I have some bad news regarding the moulds for the elephant. As this was my first time attempting moulds it did not turn out well, the mould was a failure. My original ended up getting cracked on all legs and the trunk, I will have to go in a patch up the broken sculpture and repair what is remaining....but it can be saved.

Unfortunately this means no copies will be made and this will just be a one piece item again. I apologize for those who were looking forward to this piece for purchase.

Sorry to hear that  
Maybe you could make a joined project with Anna, her husband works with moulds very well...

that's a good idea.

Oh! what a pity!
Making moulds is not an easy think. When I started to make them I received an important help from Anna. Also time ago I met some people in Barcelona who works sculpting (not animals) but they know a lot about mould making. Maybe in your city there's also some people who have knowledge about this. To see from an expert the way to make moulds is a really good thing.
Maybe you can make some attempts with pieces you don't going to use, to improve your moulding skills.

Yes this may be possible next time.

Yes it is a bit of a disappointment, I may look into some mould making classes if there are any in my area....it is a skill which takes practice and experience to do well. Luckily I'm glad that my original was not completely destroyed with this experiment.

I patched up the broken model and have painted it.
