Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

No One Expects....

the Spanish Inquisition. Time for a little bit of light relief and a few just for the fun of it figures. Now you will need to be of a least a certain age to have seen these characters on "Monty Python"

 






If you have not seen the silliness before then here's the video.



The figures are by Victoria Miniatures from Australia - wonderfully sculpted and cast if a bit on the expensive side.

Sometimes you just need a bit of silliness!

  2. They are lovely figures Dave and I notice Victoria Miniatures are doing free postage which helps to keep the cost down.

  9. Brilliant!

    NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms!
