Who painted the elephant with the two hussars on it, and where did he get the human figures from?

They are Foundry dismounted Hussars.

Chopped them off at the waist along with feet and then sculpted the legs/arse and bits in a seated position in milliput.

They look a bit odd at certain angles but I knocked it out in a few hours.

I'm tempted to ask what inspired you to have the idea in the first place, but then again.......perhaps it's best not to.

They are very well done, though.

It's a long running skit that I only have hussars instead of 'proper cavalry'
So I thought it would be amusing.
And it was, until it stampeded and killed my own elite jäger.

It's one of those long line of loose ass traditions like telling someone there unit flag is upside down or molesting an unsuspecting Hoover.
