@MABO, my pleasure, I just saw HAT makes a 1/32 version of the smaller war elephant. The figures may not work, but if anyone really likes the design the elephant may work if it too is on the small side.... but its pretty expensive.

The elephant in set 2 is good from proportions. The other one you must see as baby elephant! :-D

Yes there is. But it has the small elephant in it. ;-)

What a useful comparison!

I would add that elephants, like people, are individually unique. Average Indian male adult size is 9 foot at the shoulder but one giant was nearly 12 ....the size of a large African Savannah elephant.
