I like the elephant, Marc, but I can see how you might think it's a little too
small.  Not that i'm an expert or anything, perhaps one or two longer and a
brick taller, or maybe shorten the legs and add the height to the body.  As is,
though, it looks like a convincing elephant!

(...) Add a brick to the torso thickness. African elephants have long legs, so the legs are fine. How about some tusks ? Maybe the 1 x 2 plate with side thingies in white. Nice job so far though. (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Mabey the castle guy on his back trains baby elephants? If it could be in battle as a baby, it could fight in wars as an adult... NICK :^L~~ (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
