Kublai Khan goes to war!

[Matt J]

Finally finished Kublai Khan's command platform.


This was the inspiration (thanks Subedai)



I used 4 of the elephants from the Indian range (AI2). There is only one pose so I chopped heads and legs off and repositioned for some variety. The platform was made with matchsticks, paperclips and green stuf. It were a bugger to do!

Fantastic work, very nice indeed!

Stunning. Possibly the best Command Stand I have ever seen

That really is awe inspiring work, well done, it must have taken ages.

Truly wonderful Matt.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Shouldn't there be a spare elephant on the back in case of punctures ?

Excellent stuff.

thanks guys, I guess you like it then 

Can I ask how long it took :S

about 2 and half weeks working a couple of hours most evenings. The pagoda was the trickiest thing. I had to rebuild it a couple of times as it just wasn't staying symmetrical. Expecting bits of paperclip to just stay in place without any support and adhere was maybe a bit naïve of me (my finger tips have no skin remaining) and the bloody roller blinds would stick to everywhere but where I wanted them to.

Cheers mate, quite chuffed how they came off they're just little pieces of paper 4mm x 5mm.

Kublai just needs an army to lead now.

Blimey, that scratch build is a brave and excellent piece of work; I feel for your lack of finger tips I know that feeling all too well!

Looks stunning.
