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.

Sudan .The relief of Gordon Part 1

The Imperial columns have set off. Two games running along side . The desert column and the Suakin to Berber railway .

The 2nd Naval contingent hopes the gatling does not jam..

In the  Suakin column Scots guards set off in advance of the railway construction crew

the railway is under construction

drums are heard across the battlefield

better deploy the New South Wales artillery

Here they come!

the Bengal Lancers in action

the Desert column lines out

the river column progresses

The Gordons disembark
19th Hussars charging in to action

The desert colum battles the hordes - Burnaby falls!

The Guards commander gets ready for action.

Hold them lads!

commanders consult!
The Yorks and Lancs take to the boats
