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.

Getting back to it..

The blog has been a little neglected of late - the usual stuff - you know  how it goes , but things are coming back together. Anyway to freshen things up while I dig out the paint desk and fire up the brushes I thought it might be nice to revisIt some creations from a few years back - and these are among my favourites.

The squadron of Mamalukes is now completed. Great fun unit to do, lots of movement and colour






These are 28mm Bicorne Miniatures , each once individually converted and reworked with the soldering iron.

    Those are very pretty, aren't they! Maybe it's just the lighting, but I'm picking up a slightly green tinge to the flesh? Must be my imagination as I cannot believe it's really like that...

    Ha! For about two seconds I thought you'd actually painted something. Fair play to you though, these are very nice indeed...
