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 - Bengal Lancers on camels & vignette pieces

This is a little left field unit to add to the Sudan collection. I found a little line drawing of a bengal lancer mounted on a camel from my 1880's edition of Cassels War in the Sudan. So I thought a small unit of these was a valid project.


They are a marriage of Bengal Lancer figures and camels from the old connoisseur range sold by Bicorne . I had to do a little work on making the front saddle pommel from milliput , but other than that a fairly simple job.



Next I picked up a pack of Foundry figures at Hammerhead - these were for AZW , they  just needed a little bit of work to file of the cuff details -
a pair busy hammering in range markers 

wounded pair and wounded dragging an ammo box. 

I am back on to ww2 stuff coming up as work progresses on a D Day game for June.

    Spiffing work my friend! Really like what you‘ve done with the lancers but those wounded are just superb.
