MOC Elephant's Land

[Redhead1982]

I made this little landscape scene for a virtual teambuilding of local LUG. The challenge was to plan and build a model within a 2-week period, and provide details on the number of parts included in the model and approximate time. I almost managed to count all parts included here, and the final number stopped at 800 (give or take 10) parts. Since I was counting while building, I'm pretty sure I missed some or double-counted other parts. Time-wise I wasn't paying enough attention to the clock, but all together I spent less than 3 hours. I know, a lot, but mostly I was looking for specific small parts in my half-sorted collection. 

I recently got this couple of elephants and wanted to include them in a MOC to justify the order. Another challenge was to build an acacia tree, as I find its specific shape very fascinating. 

A slightly different angle might reveal more details.
