Okay, in one week I have an appointment for a small game at my local toy shop.
I searched through my collection and found some WW2-Japanese....oh yeah....:)
So I decided to try to build a little comical Tarawa in one week. I have 40 Japanese, one landing craft, a little tractor, a tower and 10 Marines.
What I am missing is an Island....8)
So I scraped some styrodur and got my paints out....;)

Very nice, though that sea does not look very realistic ^__^

Okay, builded a little hill, to get at least some elevation for the island.

Just before easter...right in time I got my first pacific island hopping game going. After a week of preparation.
In the night before the game, I finished the second of my landing crafts for the Japanese.

And here are a few shots of the game.
The scenario saw the jaanese try to recapture the littke island from some bold resiting marines...
A mixture of Guadal Canal and Tarawa or so....;)

Was really fun to play. I had three games with disposable heroes and bolt action.

That looks great.
Strip off the "modern" stuff and post it on the Frostgrave sub forum for Ghost Archipelago.
Nice looking sea as well.
