Something extra for nothing is always good!

Using the offcuts from Amera vacuformed islands as coastline for my 1/2400 17th century ships was a bit of a bonus!

Thanks Gentlemen.

Dave, replied to your msg.

Those are brilliant! I particularly like your ideas for giving the islands some texture. Consider this stolen for my next land building escapade.

How are you getting on with your terrain for the Medway or has it been superceeded by this style?
It's all looking lovely Barry!

Thanks Dave. I have actually been working on the Medway board. I have painted all of the yard buildings – about 20 I think. I will do the portion of Chatham town necessary next and then the yard and dry docks sculpting but.. its coming on!

Those look really great. Nice job! 😀

It's really pleasing that something very cheap and simple has been so well received here. I hope other gamers have a go with the idea as literally, there is no risk from using rubbish to make something useful.
