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 - Utah Beach terrain progress

I am just about through the terrain works now. I have completed the sea wall with a few sections done  as breached. Lots of barbed wire sections , about 16 feet worth and a few minefield section. The Tobruks are done as are gun emplacements . Hoping to get a quick play test of the beach end of the table this weekend too .



Further behind the Grand Dune section there was a lot of flooded ground and I have done some sections of this . Martin has a load more as it’s about 16 square feet required . Going on I have a commission out to make some more bits for this as well.
Pleased with this effect , but not sure I will be able to replicate as all 4 have dried  differently 
 The area behind the dune was heavily flooded , Martin has made a load more bits for it . I just have the causeway through it to finish off .

4 flooded field sections made
