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.

    I've been toying with attending one of the north east shows this year, but sadly it won't be this one - it's been snowing now for 12 hours with no sign of stopping, and the huskies are still scarred by their last visit to Boro (Boro 1 Wednesday 0, terrible game). I hope the weather doesn't kibosh the show.

      Yeah - The local forecast looks like it will be clear of the snow which is a bit more inland - lets hope it stays there.

    Looks like it will be a good show with all those traders attending. Look forward to seeing a couple of pictures of your game.
