Anyone remember HG Wells' LITTLE WARS?
Back in the 70's, I was fascinated with his writings and where his imagination originated. On some forgotten Christmas, I got one of those RAPCO casting kits ->

He soon got his own Gatling gun (a cast iron American Civil War 12 lber sans barrel, w/ a Gatling assembly made from dowels, nails and copper telephone wire).
Fast-forward to the 1990s, when I picked up a hand-carved elephant in South Africa.
What do you get when you combine all three elements with tongue firmly implanted in cheek?
Inspiration!

Somewhere in the distant past, I'm sure Britain's provided precedence.
