They look highly effective, Michael. Have you ever noticed that only an Indian can tie a pugri properly. All the ones I've ever seen on non-Indian actors and the like have been total rubbish.

I'm still at the planning stage of a 6mm Sumerian collection. I've had some plastic palm trees for a while ... now I have some inspiration! Nice stuff,as ever.

Those trees are belting !

When I opened the blog I thought the first photo was of real palms to give us a feel for the look he was after

Don't know how successful you've been finding small plastic palm trees but t056 is a nice small specimen:

I have a pack of 20 but they don't appear available to UK at the moment.

Got a set of these for about six quid including postage all the way from China.



They'll do for a start at least.

Latest quest is for 6mm scale reed boats
