Miniature Metal Armies

'Apocalypt-Ephunt' Figurines by Amanda Visell

So you're a metal sculpture and you find yourself wondering what to work on next. "Elephants with Cannons," your wife yells from the basement. Or at least that's what you thought she said, when she actually said, "Elf's On Channel Nine." You know the dangers that lurk outside and set out to make your elephant army.

'Apocalypt-Ephunts' are a set of six miniature figurines by Amanda Visell. Three megaphunts are supported by three soldierphunts.
