The most typical pirate island I ever saw, right down to the last detail, except for the lack of crocodiles........ lol

Fantastic set-up. There will be some splendid pirating going on there, I'm sure  lol

I particularly like the shelters and the magnificent crow's nest look-out post.

I agree with Grimm, maybe some matt varnish would dull the plants down and make it look even better.

Please post the pics when you play your first game on it!

Nice. You should paint the sides of the tiles though. I can see some styrofoam sticking out. :)

Looks splendid.
Out of interest, what size/scale is it ?

Beautiful! The use of a broken mast as a lookout tower is inspired! the only thing missing is old Ben Gunn's cave. (maybe he's hiding out in skull rock?).

I'm sure they are Pegasus. I have a bunch of those  ;)

Well, glad you like it!
Thanks for the nice comments  :)

Argonor is right, the Palm trees are indeed Pegasus. Be aware to clean them, before painting! Otherwise nothing will stick to the plastic! Stupid me  >:(

The size of the whole island is 120cmx120cm (4x4), quartered  ;)
