To be honest, the use of the elephant was originally just a practicality issue - I only own one LEGO horse, and, as I began to get the carriage into shape, I realized it would certainly be too large for a single horse to pull (also, my attacking 'Spartan-ish' soldiers need at least one horse between them!). So I used the oliphant/elephant idea. But I think it is definitely a case where a necessity led to a better final build - if I had 4 or 6 horses, I probably would have just used those without thinking, and it would have been inferior to what I ended up with, I think.Emp.Justinian wrote:I think that this creation has a very good chance of winning the catagory. Rather than build a huge carrage and give it a buch of horses you have cleverly designed a much better means of locomotion, namely the oliphant/elephant. The carrage looks very evil.
God speed
