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.

Normandy 44 - Table progress

What with one thing and another I have not managed to catch up on the blog , but progress has been being made on various projects. Most notably the Normandy 44 project US forces , and terrain pieces. So much so we have a starter game today with Martin C and James M contributing troops and other bits of terrain.

So some initial shots of my set up today - pre extra terrain bits and troop deployment -
initial set up with my terrain bit - need more clutter yet

4 ground buildings - still to be tarted up 

10 feet of bocage hedging made yesterday - I reckon at least another 30 feet  required. 


last of the vehicles for now 

the box is filling nicely , another infantry platoon and anti tank guns on the table at the moment

More terrain pieces have been sourced - including a great looking classic Norman church from Tiger Terrain. - looking forward to painting it.

it also comes with a ruined bell tower section which is interchangeable 


As for other progress -I have also finished a West German battlegroup for Team Yankee



Anyway plenty to keep me busy, and I will be moving on D Day landing forces coming up .
