I really like Wargames Foundry figures even if they are a bit on the pricey end of the scale. Several years ago I picked up the Maharajah's Elephant on eBay and I have recently fixed it up and based it for the various Colonial games I will be playing.
It is definitely a hefty figure in metal but was easy to assemble as I was patient for a change with my super glue. Admittedly I did not put a lot of effort in painting the Maharajah and the Mahout but I did spend time trying to get the color just right for the elephant.
The elephant itself is beautifully sculpted and well worth the effort in painting. The decorative features on the elephant really make it stand out on the table.
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Beautiful work, not just on the elephant himself but the reds, blues and golds just look so sumptuous and rich. Bravo!
