This is the subject of a challenge whereby I had to make something that showcased an elephant.
I thought long and hard.. for a minute.. and decided upon an off-world exploration vehicle for low gravity applications specifically for the legion of mentally augmented elephants launch themselves to the stars... with the help of the uplifted dolphins and the cosmobears...
Here's the build in pictures.

Yeah very cool!! I recognise some parts but not too many others. You are undoubtably one of the best scratch builders I have come across.
I also pledge my allegiance to our new elephant overlords....

2 Reasons why a model is better than a wife:
1) A model doesn't get jealous when you look at another model
2) A model doesn't yell at you for spending money on another model

You should send that to David Brin and see what he thinks, if we are all lucky your excellent work may inspire him to another book or three.

This answer wouldn't be creative in any way, but it's hard to find better word to describe this model than just '
WOW!!!
'
