1/12 Carthago War Elephant

[Hugo Pereira]

Hello

I have the pleasure to present the Carthago War Elephant.

This is a Limited Edition of 300 pieces and the elephant bust its available just in this scale, there arent more scales available and its belong just to RPmodels... I told this will be lauch in the week before Folkstone, but for some personnal issues I decided lauch him today...

This piece it will be lauch in Folkstone, in 22 and 23 of September.

This was a big project to us and completely diferent that we did before. We have to study a lot but I believe the main goal is done. Develop a perfect piece with plenty of details. The Carthaginese prefer hindi drivers, the kornaks, and if you see the driver we tried to recreate that...

Feel free for ask what you want... Comments are always welcome.

Hi Hugo

In my opinion probably the most impressive piece you have released so far! The animation is exceptional.

I’m looking forward to collecting mine from Steve at Euro.

I have started to do some research re the Kornak Mahouts, what sources did you use?

Regards

Neil

Great and innovative miniature! I am with Viking Bob here, have never been interested in the classic period, but this one looks impressive and tempting. I know that it is 1/12, but can not figure out what it means when it comes to an elephant bust. What are the overall dimensions of the composition taking into account the trunk, ears and tusks?

All the best with this and your future releases.

Hello Mr. Sergei

This is a very interesting thing... Ive people dont do busts but they bought the bust because like they told me '(...) This isnt a bust... This is a piece of art.' Many people are reserving the elephant because they like it a lot... Its someting new and diferent. About the size...

This is very big... Buts the detail its cruise... Its something completely diferent...



Thank you Sir.

Hugo, As a rule I do not do ancients, but the piece is superb. The elephant and the rider's armor are amazing. What is the scale may I ask?

 

[Hugo Pereira]

Hello Mr. Clrsgt

The scale is 1/12... Many people dont do this history period, but they are buying the piece because its very diferent. Its a amazing piece.

I hope this can helps.
