Hi All,
Hope it's not against the forum rules, but there was a thread in the "Wanted" section concerning a particular Elefant seen on E-Bay a year or so ago and discussion whether the beast was or was not a seldom seen Imai. I can state with certainty that the pachyderm is, indeed, an Imai and was given a complete rehab and re-paint in his inimitable way by Maestro Gary Farrow. Thought I'd post a few more pictures of it here as Gary's work deserves a wider audience. As mentioned in the Wanted thread, the monster looks much the same as when Dr. Farrow finished her except the foliage wire has now been replaced with thinner wire. In addition, a tad of license taken by adding foliage hooks and racks for extra tracks to add a bit of interest. In that latter regard, a tip of the hat to another Elefant build seen on another site.

Re: Imai Elefant-Is It or Isn't It?
I'm not a fan of the Elefant actually, even more not so after taking a closer look at the real specimen, but this one... I kinda like it! It's a beast!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!
I'm a happy man.
