Hello...Here is a moc I recently built...The moc is of an oliphant, a large elephant like creature from LOTR...
I do not personally own an official pre-mold elephant, but I had a lot of fun building this moc...
Thank you, and please tell me what you think...
brick-built beast...oliphant...
brick-built beast...oliphant...

Re: brick-built beast...oliphant...
I like the oliphant.
The legs are great designed with the cheese slopes for the feet.
The ears and the body are cool too.
The only thing I don't like very much is the tail, it is too long.

Re: brick-built beast...oliphant...
I agree that the tail is too long. Do you have pics with a minifig for comparison? I'm thinking this is a baby oliphant. Adults should be bigger. Apart from that, you've done a great job of rendering it. If you make it bigger, you might be able to add new features.

Re: brick-built beast...oliphant...
Thank you for the replies...
Here are some size comparison pics...
I shortened the tail, which I agree was too long before...I disagree about the oliphant being too small though...
Thank you, and please tell me what you think...

Re: brick-built beast...oliphant...
the trunk looks disproportionate to me. other than that I like it.
He who thinks you should look at the box that says "Quaraga" if you want to find out his username (about as useful to you as his real name). he only wants you to look so he can laugh about you looking there because he's a total smart...

Now the oliphant looks better.
I think too that it is a baby oliphant or an oliphant for microscale...
BTW nice fig
