Handy Find

AM visiting Bad Wörishofen, a Bavarian spa town that seems to cater to upmarket hypochondriacs.

That may be a little unfair, but there is no doubting the numerous health facilities and swanky hotels.

This is very much off-season as most of the town's medical treatments are based around hydrotherapy, which requires walking through water troughs that only fully operational in the summer months.

As well as hotels, spas and smart restaurants, there is a large toy shop that I suspect does a good trade with indulgent grandparents.

It has also done a decent amount of business with me this year.

These four palm trees will enhance a desert oasis

A pack of 15 deciduous trees that could make a small wood or orchard

The palms have stability issues that I should be able to solve fairly easily, but there is no such problem with the 15 green 'uns

I cannot deny that the palm trees were expensive, but I have found it difficult to obtain suitable such models for 10mm-scale battle scenes.
