Very nice! Based on the ruler you have there, I think they will look fine for DW.
-
I'm perfectly sure about it !
As they are only rocks and vegetation, they can work fine with many scales I believe.
Thanks a lot, they are wonderfull ! 8)
Can't wait !

Danaussie, you've really outdone yourself this year...those islands are beautiful. Really nice stuff.
Karun, we expect you to post pictures of the islands in use, especially with those really nice Russian ships!

I'd vacation there. Fantastic work on the islands, mate.

Cheers thanks guys for the comments.
Karuns Aussieminis Islands Set was sent on Monday the 2nd of May, and much care was taken to ensure that the set arrives to him safely, of course its always our greatest fear as wargamers that we end up with "That Nightmare Postal Service Guy" like Jim Carey in Ace Ventura Pet Detective, that kicks and destroys the packages that contain our precious miniatures and scenery. We can only pray that we get our packages treated with respect.
I was happy with all the pictures, except the last one with the miniatures on my tabletop it made it look like the base of the feature island is warped, I can assure everyone that the bases are clamped during several phases of the build to minimise warping of the MDF during the building process. So its my rather overused Axis & Allies - War at Sea tabletop that is....well, not flat, and not the scenery bases.
Lastly, I have been boggling over what I could possibly to combat the fact that we have many different types of scenery used by the many different games that are played from Historical Naval Wargames to things like Dystopian Wars and I thought I might try to build something for both so that no matter who the competition winner is I will have something to offer that will be useful for any of the many games. If anyone has ideas or links to offer that may assist me for next years competition, please do not hesitate to enter them here or PM me here at any time.
Cheers guys, thank you very much.

I've finally been able to look at these pictures on a proper computer and these things are fantastic. Really great work and I'm sure they will be perfect for Dystopian Wars. Those will populate a pretty decent sized table of Dystopian Wars too.

Hi guys
The islands just arrived and they are fantastic ! :)
Even better in real.
Very well packed, they arrived safe
I'll take some pics of my fleets around them, as soon as I get time to install a game table.
Cheers
