Palm Sunday

OK it is still eleven weeks to Palm Sunday, but I finished basing all my palm trees on Sunday so the title was irresistible. Here is the last batch of 18 trees in six groups. 




I am really surprised how the simple task of putting these on a textured base makes such a simple yet effective model.

My apologies to you Lawrence H if this post brings on another bout of the mental distress palm trees have caused in your life.

  1. Your palms look great! No sense in wasting a good blog title.

    1. I couldn't agree more about the title. And the models came up a treat - especially considering how cheap the trees were in the first place.

  2. Really well done again. Eight palm fronds collected by 7:30am this morning while I was putting the bins out, but we should hopefully be coming to the end of it in a couple of weeks' time when the afternoon storms appear again.

    1. Our own clean up of dead fronds on our small palms continued over the weekend. Dreadfully vicious things these are with nasty spikes. Managed to spike myself a dozen or so times, but they look so much tidier now.

      Switched to working on the French of 1812 now while I wait for the Crimean War Heavy Brigad to arrive.

  3. Nice looking palm trees, basing works really well.

    1. The beauty of fhis basing technique is that, excluding drying time, it only takes a few minutes.
