I have a couple of hand crafted wooden elephants here from South Africa, they're about 12x8cm. If it will be interesting for you for your projects just let me know I will send you some. Thank you that’s really kind of you but unfortunately they are two big for my diorama. The 00 gauge so the elephant probably be about 2.5cms height. They are really hard to find and experience. Mrs R and I have made lots of mini dioramas for friends birthday or Christmas gifts. I find some soon I hope. Your elephants are really cool . Thank again much appreciated . all the best Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi pal thank you very much indeed. I really just like making things. I going to add some more paint to it. I like to leave my project for a few days before adding to them.

So it is like having a new fossil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really creative i like how the moss/grass and rock effect you have created fits in well with the fossil itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I added another layer of paint to the rock face to deepen the hues . I think it is getting there now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReptileTooth Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It's such a creative idea to make a little diorama out of the display plint! I've seen it used for historical and fantasy figures but it gives interesting results for fossils too. 1 "The baneful Dragons, O Seas, are gone: Fiends, 0 Earth, have filled thee with the bones of Defeat and Death."
