| Hope you shipped it insured. Make the claim and bleed useless Canada Post for full value. I hate CP with a passion. Thieves and thugs it seems. |

| As an owner of the same Asiatam metal elephant, I can tell you that just moving it around would cause some of the same damages. It was extremely fragile even when it was shipped in pieces. I can't imagine shipping the one I built now.
I think I broke two swing arms putting it together, and Dean broke one just from painting (i.e. moving it around).
It was like it is made out of clay. |

| Is the metal they used that poor of quality? I assume a lot of it is zinc pot metal casting then? I've seen many instances of castings being porous and mechanically brittle. |
