All terrain is scratch built and figures were a combination of Airfix and Revel.
The station was modelled on the El Alamein station
The table was constructed of modelled tiles with added features
such as the oasis and the house for added detail
The water in the oasis was made from layers of varnish.
The palm trees were made from pipe cleaners and thin painted cardboard leaves.
The reeds are pine needles coated with resin
