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.

A Crisis visit - part 2 The Games


There were lots of different games last weekend. I spent the first hour wandering around taking in the spectacle - and drawing inspiration. So here are some the items that caught my eye.

Loved the baloon in this Congo game



3d Print Arnhem 1944



Loved the buildings
Nice trees... 
The peat ship of Breda game - cracking modelling


30 Corps break outing large scale! 



Modern special forces - Spectre
Gangster! Chicago Way
Pirates!
18th Century game - great model making

Flying machines!
The massive fantasy game - some amount of work

Its really got me thinking about doing a game next year...

  6. If you pay for my travel fares, board and lodging, meals and remember to mention my name in the awards acceptance speech, I'll come and give you a hand with your game :P
