[Constable Bertrand]

Cabbage palms! Not bad when the botanist in me can identify the flora! CRACKING Job!

Cheers

My brother finished the oasis last night.
Took a photo in the sun today, It may need another coat of varnish on the water.

That is very very nice and should be useful for some many genres.

That scenery guy of yours aint too shabby, Colin, might have to look him up sometime as that looks bloody lovely and just the ticket for some thirsty fellas to fight over.

Sweet!

[Steve F]

The colouring of the water is particularly convincing.

[Silent Invader]

That's lovely! 

[Malamute]

Great stuff Colin, (I don't frequent the WW2 board much so have only just caught up with this thread.)

[NurgleHH]

Great, Colin. Which company makes this Palmtrees? They are very nice.

[gamer Mac]

Thanks guys
The palm trees are the pegasus hobbies ones, five in the box and not too cheap either

[Atheling]

Excellent stuff from what I can see thus far  .

What did you use for the shutters on the buildings? 

They really look the business and I'm very tempted to nick the idea  .

Looks great.
Lush even 

[gamer Mac]

The shutter are just scratch built using thin strips of card over-lapping and another strip around the edge. The card you use needs to be good and cuts neatly. I used some old bisniuss cards. Which i cut into very thin strips and then glued, over-lapping on to another card. Once you get the hight you want you can cut the length. You can get about 8 shutters out of one card.

Thanks, I'll give it a go and see what I can come up with  .
