Mûmakil or Oliphant?

This Oliphant came from eBay many years ago. It was half built, plus missing a tail and an ear, the poor thing. But for 30 odd quid, it was worth adopting and nursing back to health. Tonight, I added the front platform, top layer and the Mahout tonight.

I am not keen on painting the sculpted base but I don’t think I can remove the the beastie from it, without major effort. So I will see if I can devise a plan for disguising that.

I added some rope, reigns at the front and a rope up to the top platform.

Has anyone else here tackled building and painting this beastie?

Also, does anyone know the name of the platform / castle on Elephants backs? I can’t remember and my Google-fu is weak tonight.
