In addition to giving
Pachydermos' offspring a new set of tusk canisters, I have decided to also give him a new trunk hose. To celebrate that differentiation I have named him
Olifant, a variation of the word
Elephant.

I have molded the assemblage of brass parts
(on the left) and cast it in a gray urethane resin (
on the right).

Here I have sanded irregularities, filled cracks with
Bondo™, and engraved the cap to match the hex acorn nut that will sit on top and hold the canister against the mask. I've also drilled and mounted twelve brads, which are meant to simulate rivets holding the top to the case.
Looks fascinating so far.
