This is going to be a great dio. Your transformation of the elephant is amazing. I will follow your next steps closely.

My goodness, Enrico, that piece alone would make a magnificent vignette. I love both the detailed creation process and the fantastic end result, with such incredible painting. :love: :notworthy: :drool: :love: :notworthy: :drool:

Of course, everyone is feeling sorry for the elephant, but what about the poor pikeman who was thrown into the air, eh? I feel less sorry for the two occupants of the tower, as I see their immediate future as less threatened. :tongue:

Fantastic progress, my friend! :-D

Santi.

Great work. The hide in particular looks very authentic.

Thanks Ben, I'm quite near the completion of the soldiers, here are some skirmishers and infantry that will be back of the elephants, to unzip the phalanx with the chaos created by the beasts

Enrico, it's clear that, once you had finished the first elephant with such a superb result, you didn't want the second one to feel envious of it, so you made it just as superb. And the foot soldiers, although a little less spectacular, are not far behind. :love: :love: :love:
