Aboukir Island

Here is my attempt at some scenery for my Battle of the Nile game - Aboukir (later Nelson's) Island.

I've taken a bit of artistic licence, but tried to keep it in the realms of realism.

It's blue foam, with a covering of play sand, PVA and yellow emulsion. Then, washed with Vallejo sepia wash and drybrushed with lightened yellow emulsion and magnolia. The palm trees are from Irregular miniatures.

Finally, a covering of coarse sand, play sand and my basing mix, and a few tufts of clump foliage hardened with a PVA mix.

I've added a couple of photos of the real island for comparison. 

Ship for scale!
