1/700 Banshee Island

New islands! These have been cleaned and wet-sanded flat. I'm looking forward to finishing the tropical paint!

Painted new, islands. I've been working on the very basic display base too.

As you find your way to Isla Roatan, 40 miles off the shore of Honduras, the channel a grand Carnival ship must take winds through the littoral waters past a great many small islands. Most are heavy with vegetation and a few have navigational aids on them.
I give you TLAR Models #225 Isla Cangrejo Azul kit, in glorious 1/700 scale. A modest, vaguely crab-like island, new lighthouse, my same keeper's cottage, 3 dock sections and a Chris Craft make up this newest release. No one can say why the sand at Cangrejo has a blue tinge. Traces of copper, perhaps? Vegetation, radio aerials, desalination equipment, etc. is up to the builder.

How many of you are old enough children to remember the 1974 Saturday morning Hudson Brothers Razzle dazzle Show?

"Ho-Hum, another boring day on the island of Pegi-Pegi.." Ironically, my 1/700 version is too big.
Thanks for looking in!
