Wow! I didn't realize that it's been almost a year since I last built something for fun. Since the boy is sick at home. It was a Lego day. I decided to make an elephant and ended up making 2.
The distinctive feature in elephant 1 is it's realistic trunk. The
arm pieces used in the trunk allow it to swivel up and down nicely. I couldn't find all the parts I wanted so I had to substitute some pieces in. Note: the asymmetrical tusks, leg colours and shapes. I wanted to build it one piece taller, but couldn't find enough grey cylindrical pieces - though I'm sure we have some somewhere... It's a bit difficult to find pieces since most of them are now dumped into an
Ikea bench.
For the second elephant, I started off with a piece I wanted to use for
legs. I inverted that part, then built up from there. Because the piece is inverted, the studs are on the bottom of the legs. I improvised attaching pieces on top to connect the legs with the body and head.
