@Barbarian: Hope we'll see them soon! :)







I have not glued the tusks yet. Maybe I will cut them in two parts...

Looking good, will you be adding ropes and straps for the Howdahs?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I have thinked about it but It will be very difficult to not break them in transport.  :(

Looking excellent sir!  

Can't wait to see them painted.

I agree that it would be worth spending time sorting out some 'rigging' for the howdahs.  I think a simple way to do it would be to use cotton thread, wrap it about as approriate, tie it off and glue it at the ends with a few dabs of superglue and then give it a good coating of PVA.  Should make it nice and strong.

I'm very inspired by this but unfortunately i'm already embarked on a different 10mm fantasy project.   :(

Maybe next year... :D

Good stuff Arsenus  8)

Luddite's tip is a good one - I'd give it a go  :)

Arsenus

Like a boss, I will combine the two helps! :)

I have the Battlefield Razorwire from Army Painter, I will glue it with PVA and then paint it. :)

Thanks for the advices!
