Dominic, I suppose I should let the Prof answer for himself, but it looks like a Copplestone elephant to me. I have two of them myself.

Of course, as I am not German, they still lie unpainted.

That is easy I use Plastik Grass  and mix it with yellow Grass from Modeltrain shops
The Plastik Grass is Paintet  to make them look better .
You can get the Grass as decoration in all kind of shops at the Easter time .

hope that help you cheers Grimm

Does ".45 Adventures" work for big game hunts?  I think that new game might be useable for almost any kind of scenario involving a few humans and or creatures. There is a Yahoo Group named "HLSS" for "Hot Lead and Steel Sinews" which is a discussion of all things related to ".45 Adventures" and some of its variants.

.45 Adventures would be great for a big game hunt. The trick would be coming up with the stats for the animals, but Rich has so much stuff scattered around HLSS and the Rattrap Productions site that you could probably find it all there. I don't know if he'll have time to write up one right now. He is working on lots of other projects at present...

When I grow up I want to be able to paint like that!!!
Really awsome.

I am a mass production painter who has just gotten into the smaller skirmish stuff, so with less figures needed I'll be able to start taking more time on each piece. I hope I can achieve a quality closer to that than I am now. You guys are truely an inspiration for achievement!!

My friend sent me the link to the Back of Beyond site since I just started getting into "pulp" era and the like and I eventually found my way here. I started with CiC and quickly branched out to all things in the genra. I am currently working on a campaign for pulp...

It starts in the Gentleman's club in London and then heads to Cairo and then deepest Africa. It is kind of based overall off of a game I saw at Cold Wars years back. Everyone is given an objective at each session, points are scored as to how close you achieve that objective and the winning is based on over all performance... RP, attitude, points, etc...

What have I gotten myself into?????
