'A Tale of Four Gamers'

Fell asleep painting growth rings on bamboo palisades tonight! Yaaaaawn!

Kublai Khan coming on nicely, 1 elephant down 3 to go.

All stuff on hold as wife been ill with flu and stupidly busy at work. Hope to get some stuff done towards the end of the week when I'm off...

Kublai Khan coming on nicely, 1 elephant down 3 to go.

This I gotta see!
Always fancied doing one myself...just as an exercise in elephant painting you understand, nothing at all to do with the ostentatiousness of such a singularly dramatic command base.

It will be awesome 

(if I finish it on time! and avoid Nobby's eradication ray)

That's a model I look forward to seeing.

I know Kublai Khan was a large lad - but four elephants?

Well, if you got, flaunt it as they say...and as he had it he flaunted it -big style. It was a command platform spread across the backs of four elephants so that he could see and be seen. (Probably had his own personal instant-flush toilet at the back.)

Just looked this up; couldn't believe it was actually real

So, how soon before the cries of the "The Mongol range isn't complete without one!" come up

On a more possibly frivolous note, have you any intention of making Kublai Khan's four elephant command position?

Four elephants will set you back £9, a single general + command elephant £4.50 - so... a little bit north of a tenner at a guess?

The beauty of 10mm

Now, in 28mm...

Plus the howdah!  The Wiki P drawing looks rather grand; £16 quid or so I'd have thought 

Still, damned fine centre piece

In 28mm it would require two men to lift it and a reinforced table, I think....

[toxicpixie]

IT MUST BE MINE!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

No ITS MINE MINE MINE I TELL YOU.

On a serious note it should be possible to bulid it with 4 naked elephants and Japanese/Chinese fissures.

Would look good.

What's a Japanese/Chinese fissure, Ian? No, don't bother, I don't want to know!
