At the moment, i have no complaints from the world wildlife fund... ;)

Work on the trunk ! A small nail into it !



The trunk 'll be place in position to wrap an unlucky hunter.
As it is a soft plastic impossible to stop to go back in it's original position, the nail will fix the wanted position .

Is the trunk hollow? Could you insert a stiff but bendable wire that could then be formed to wrap trunk around a hunter?  If not hollow, then drill out down the length of the trunk and insert wire.

The trunk is bent and then nailed into the desired position, at the top of the trunk. With some glue to fix. Even if it's the nail who do all the job  :D

the work of drilling the hole into the 2 parts of the trunk :

Not for me  lol lol
As the trunk is solid, the drilling was slow but not difficult.

The giraffes are now ready to play or be killed. :P

i'm very happy with the final result about the giraffes (especially when you start from poor figurines and you get that) :

These have turned out very nicely, do you have a pic with a figure in it to show the scale of the giraffes?

I ask because I bought a tub of about 40 plastic animals for £4:00 and there are 4 giraffes in it, they are a bit small but I think ok. If I can paint them as well as yours I shall be surprised, but I shall follow your markings.

I've not looked yet but were there giraffes at the same time as mammoths?

Don't forget the camera for the next game ;D

a 28mm is nearly tall as the palm tree or the other tree.
2 of theses giraffes are Britains ones (the baby one), meaning 1/32 scale (?).
i'll drop you a comparison scale picture  ;)
the camera is on my top list to play. o_o o_o
