Hello- A few years ago I became very bored with scale models, which I thought was weird because I had been interested in them for over 40 years. I think as an artist I could build something to the Nth degree, but there were still limits to what could be done. With these subjects, there are no limits, and the therapy of taking an old kits and combining them all into the parts bin is liberating!

Wow, now that is cool!!!
I love the aircraft on the trunk and what looks like US infantry figures in the howdah. (I think that’s the correct term)
That is truly inspiring.sorta steam punk meets middle earth.gotta try something along those lines
Thanks! I bought a big box of figures and 1/35 scale junk of of ebay for this project and it consumed most of it- The planes are japanese 1/700-
Very stress free, no sanding, don’t care about the fit, seams or using too much glue, or the instructions lol
Pegasus models just released a 20’000 leagues under the sea nautilus that comes with a giant squid! Just what I was looking for…

Steve,
Wow. That is pretty darn cool.
Is it hollow? Or parts all the way through? Or do you have some framework on the inside?

Needs more rust…
THAT’S AWESOME!
I thought about rusting it up!
I found the elephant at Hobby Lobby in the 90% off aisle, it had broken tusks and a hole in his back. Its made from resin in china I’m sure.

During the build I found a little elephant in my stash- it must have come from like a bag of jungle animals for kiddo’s
