My computer start-up screen had this cool picture of two islands. I thought, "I want to sail there."
Now, I can, albeit on a small scale.

Attachment says invalid.
No I can't see it either Dobbs.
Rob.
I think I fixed it.
Fixed it you did! Yes it does look like an undiscovered island in a continent far away!
What did you use to make it?
2" insulation foam, stood on end allows for a narrow but tall and craggy island. I then sealed it with white glue, as per Bligh's instructions. This allows it to be painted without dissolving the foam.Quote:

Really like your islands. Has lots of character.
I found another material to skip the cutting and painting - children's air dried clay. Easy to sculpt and pre-colored. Dries light and sturdy. You may want to try it out sometime.
Looks like Pyramid- and Gorilla Island. :shock:
Nice ones.
I just googled it. My inspiration was Wharariki Beach, in New Zealand.

Need to make these!
I can also see them now Dobbs, aand yes they need making for myself also as soon as I get time.
Rob.
Nice islands, Dobbs! :thumbsup:
Thanks David, and thanks for the rep!
Nicely done, inspirational.
Dobbs,
VERY cool islands -- enjoy them ! When I was young I once thought I would buy myself an island, but...(well that's along story...) :happy:

Boy, the upkeep for an island! And I thought mowing the lawn was a pain!Quote:

Very rugged Jonas.
That's an entirely new challenge.

Those islands look fantastic, Dobbs!
