The REAL Elephant Knight

Post by Elephant Knight »

After a conversation on Chat, (It had something to do with Josh eating my trunk or Shooting frozen peas out of my trunk or both) I decided I need a trunk. So I made this:

CHOMP, CHOMP! ;)

Looks good. It is difficult to make a brick-built solution at this scale. You did it!

Josh says you need to get hold of every Lego part ever catalogues on Bricklink! Better get started!
(Josh, you linked to the general Bricklink catalogue ;))

Hmm, I didn't know there were such things as Fabuland elephants. I think I might be able to trade. I'll PM you some details.

I thought it was kind of odd that Josh would link me to that. Though I don't think I will be able to buy every single Lego peice with out going bankrupt first!

Last I checked, Josh is the one who eats people.

Oops! :oops: I have no idea how that happened. I was looking at Fabuland elephants. Must be going senile...

Nice, little bro, nice.

I wonder, though, if a clip plate on the end of the trunk might not be a nice addition. I mean, it DOES function as a third hand, in a sense...

:shock: AGH! It's the elephant man! All insensitivity aside...(*ahem*) :P No, it looks great, EK. You should build a maxifig of yourself with a fully posable trunk!

God bless.
May the blessing of the Lord be upon you. <><

Nice, but I have a nit-pick! :o

Um, if you put a 1x1 cheese slope on the stud showing on the first plate on his trunk, and replace the second plate on his trunk with a 1x2 tile, that might look good. Gee, having trouble explaining this. Hope I got through to you.

I get what your saying, but a few promblems with that. First, there are no such things as light grey cheeses slopes, and I don't own any grey. Second, the cheese slope is 2/3rds of a brick high, not 1/3rd.
