What Andy says.

The MDF road/river bits look interesting but I'm a bit worried that the longer sections might warp if painted or textured. Could that be an issue and, if so, what's the advice on how it can be prevented? Ta.

That's cool.

Fleets?

Looks like some very good upgrades there Iain. I've got a couple of those ships and was always intending to use them as 'coastal scenery' alongside 6mm games. I may copy some of your approach if I ever get around to them! Hello Dave, Yes, it's always 'if I get round to it' these days I find. Althou...

Alright, s'pose.
