The islands seem a bit out of scale, but there is no way I know of to fix that. It might be the viewing angle, and especially on the bottom picture. Overall, a huge amount of work and time. That's why I like FUD and its kindred, but if one has the time--this is a good example of what can done. It would not be a project I would undertake!
