Title: Indian Elephant
Post by: Roland on November 27, 2014, 12:38:41 PM

Dear friends, this is my first upload: an Indian Elephant, engraved by Rieger (Ochel, Kieler Zinnfiguren). Paintet with Acrylics. My first steps in NonMetalMetal. I am not a great photographer..... ??? but I hope you will have an impression.

it's not often we see the base of the figure left unpainted, which you have done on some other figures as well. Obviously the base is polished and bright, it is an unusual look which I quite like.

Its a mark of respect for the graveur and editor, I do this only for special figures of quality.

very nicely done Roland

I like Elephants, they are an interest in their own right. leaving the base plain is also rather unique.
