My first try...

This Sassanid Persian war elephant was the first figure I tried to paint.
It's an old Hinchcliffe metal model from the 1970s. Unfortunately, the detail of this manufacturers figures is not very good, but I gave it a shot anyway.

I used very cheap acrylic paints, that I had from earlier times, so the range of colors was very limited and I had to mix a lot. Also, I only washed and dry-brushed the paints, not having discovered the 3-layer technique yet.

To build a little diorama, I ordered a few more figures from that era from Hinchcliffe. But the details on them are so poor, that I kind of lost interest in painting them at all (maybe later some time)... .
