ooh ooh ooh how did you do that?

Thank you, but I really would love to know how you took my pic that didn't work and make it show... I have loads more pics and would like to put some up.

Thanks Capt. Tried it - but it doesn't seem to work with flickr

Flickr does work - use the "Share This" menu on the top left of each photo, open the "Grab the HTML/BBCode" part, and select "BBCode" at Medium size.

Nicely done scenery so far - where did you get the palm trees?

Thanks Wl, I'll try that here. The palm trees were from ebay - I got 100 of them. Add to that 15 banana trees, a pack of GWs jungle scenery, about a dozen jungle scenery bases from Wargames Workshop, some aquarium plants and some old GW plastic jungle trees and I think I'll have enough for the 3 boards I'm planning.

Let's see if the picture works...

Ahh, don't put it in the "insert picture" box and it seems to work

Right then - having finally cracked the "how to get my pics in a thread" puzzle ... for those who don't want to go to my Flickr page, here are some shots from start to present:

Now at the stage where it needs paint, sand and water....

Plaster, paint and sand added over the last few days. Pics to follow later this week.

This is all looking very good. Nice shipwreck too! Look forward to seeing more.

Okay, this weeks updated pics. All buildings are now painted, just a bit of touching up to on them. The first layer of sand has been added, gonna need another layer at least (may have to paint the sand as well, as the colours underneath are showing through).
