You haven't had an update for a while because the heat of high summer plays merry hell with my health and has precluded me from doing any painting. Fortunately as the temperature drops things will get going again, soon.
Now, you may recall that I was on the horns of a dilemma with regards to the Mumakil. 10mm elephants simply wouldn't cut the mustard being as they are too small. 15mm elephants were beyond my meager cash flow given the cost to play ratio. But now a solution has presented itself in the form of Zvezda plastic 1:72 scale war elephants!
You get two to a box and a box, via Amazon, will set you back approx £9. Read this review, which is highly critical of their worth as "historical" figures which clearly makes them just right for fantasy. Today there is much happy wombling ;)

Thanks for looking. I will return to this project when time and money allows. Your 15mm version looks very nice indeed, I especially like your backdrops.
