Title: Hannibal crossing the Alps
Post by: errant49 on January 16, 2016, 12:14:33 PM

I have been working on this a few days
The figure has been made by soldering three Elephants from the Gottstein range
This makes a unique figure
I like this three elephants very much; they are not the most spectacular but I really feel an impression of power when I look at them
I tried to give a snowy atmosphere becaus Hannibal is supposed to have crossed the Alps at the end of 218 BC

Wouaww, this time is becomes exceptional !!  (normal, my name's Hannibal !!)
But the snow and current support changes the layout a lot and also makes the situation really chilly !!!
 
Congratulation !!
