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 - Bit more work to do

I have been doing a bit of an audit of the Sudan collection to go through and decide what I want to do with it next in terms of adding units and there is bit of project coming up too (more later) that requires some specific items. I took the opportunity for some new photographs while they were on the table. I need a much bigger table!

Bring on the angry mob!

NSW infantry man the barricade 



I have around another 200 mahdist foot to add .. the build is under way at the moment

4 large bases built and base coated - another 6 at least to go 
I found some old connoisseur 21st Lancers - so they are getting prepared too 

Maxim guns being added - made from Foundry set added to an gn carriage from Irregular and plasticard shield .

    1. Ah there is a little method on the madness . They are actually octagons ...that means they butt up neatly against each other . Plus you can put them in the corner of a square at an angle and the troops to the sides butt up neatly too! Try it!

  5. Lovely David, no superb. I think Peter Gilder would have been very very envious of the armies.
