The inspiration for the blanket is taken from a painting of Hannibal on an elephant with his army that currently hangs on the walls of the Palazzo dei Conservatori at the Capitoline Museum in Rome.
I hope you enjoy!

African Forest Elephant
This is the recently painted African Forest Elephant carrying a howdah for my Carthaginian army. It is a two-part model from Gripping Beast that includes a resin body and a metal trunk. As you can see, I didn't do the best job with the Green Stuff at the join where the trunk meets the head - I have never been very good at using that stuff and should really work at improving. The kit also contains a crew (to be painted next) of two Liby-Phoenician infantry with spears and an African with a mallet and spike to ride on the elephant's neck.

ReplyDeleteThe main reason is the case back of the Rolex Sea-Dweller replica watches for sale. It’s quite replica watches uk domed in comparison to the GMT-Master II. In 2014, after 11 years of ownership, I traded the Sea-Dweller for a vintage GMT-Master 1675 from my birth year.
ReplyDeleteBut then came regret, as the Sea-Dweller 16600 fits me better than the vintage 1675. About one and a half or two years ago, I had the opportunity to purchase a minty Sea-Dweller 16600 from a friend, so I didn’t have Cheap replica watches uk to think long. I’m happy to have it back, and if I hadn’t built up a collection of watches in the past 15 years, it could have easily been my everyday watch.

ReplyDeleteThe strap used on all three leather-strap models are so-called ‘Luminor Due satin straps’, which are specially designed to have a satin-like texture and sheen. The replica watches australia straps feel very comfortable on the wrist, and the light-weight, easily adjustable pin-buckle option takes the weight off the watch – particularly the gold PAM01181 – making the timepieces very wearable. With Panerai being home to such sizeable pieces across its collections, it’s no wonder the manufacture has learned to nail wearability. The straps use a quick release system, meaning that an array of colours are available to the wearer if desired.
