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 - Extra recon

I have done a top with some more recon elements added for my US forces , with more M8 Greyhounds (one of my favourite US vehicles) , jeeps and recon teams. I also added in some 2 and 1/2 ton trucks as well - I need some more of these in the future too.

I magnetised the turrets , and added in twin aerials for the M8s

The M8s are by Forged In Battle- nicely cast in resin with metal guns

the trucks are by Battlefront Flames of War

well with a US army I reckon you always need more jeeps!

Jeeps and figures are Battlefront FoW

next up is the more pressing need to top up the US Infantry.

    Beautifully done Dave! Great attention to detail with these aerials. Don‘t know if I‘d have bothered as I‘m a lazy git.
