After a comment from our good friend John of “just Needs Varnish” fame, I decided to get some more suitable tress.

Egyptian date trees used as a guide.
Quick work there, Dave! 🙂 They look really good and better for the palm trees dotted about.

See us old Gurus can still learn new tricks! “Fetch Guru Fetch”

I purchased three packets of these from Trounistro via Amazon They were ideal for a small copse of trees.

I was very pleased with these as the quality and price were superb. I used 40mm Poker Chips for bases.

Th three packets made up 33 bases, larger trees as singles and the rest in three’s.

The ones I used for the photos in post “20mm terrain for WW2 and Men Who Would Be Kings (3)” were made up on larger bases for dense jungle terrain and were not suitable for a village setting. I will just call the coconuts very large dates.



Thanks John for the pointer, the project is much improved as a result of your comment.

PS Comments are appreciated as they are all read, and help guide future projects.
They do look really good 😊👍
Trees look excellent for date palms. The Men Who Would be Kings will not go hungry!
Dave, those really do look good! 🙂 If and when I finally get round to doing my Sudan stuff I’ll have to remember to make some palm trees the same way! And thanks for the mention – I nearly fell off the sofa having a good laugh at the “mug shot”! You’ve made my day! 🙂
Trees look excellent and will add a nice flavor!
