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.

New Year - Old Projects

The brushes are out for the first time this year. I am back to The Sudan with the Camel Corps being the first target. It's a large unit project, with mounted versions, dismounted close order , and dismounted skirmish formations. To my mind it's the unit you just have to have for the Sudan

A few different base colours used for the horde of camels.


Plenty of time set aside this weekend to crack on with these.

    Camels ahoy! I knew it wouldn't take you long to dust of the brushes and get into the fray.

    Its absolutely a Must Have unit for the Sudan - especially after that cracking Camel Corps battle scene in the move Khartoum. River gunboats are of course another Must Have unit!
