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 - Making Movies -Exterminate all the Brutes

 You may have seen some trailers or clips from this HBO documentary series by Oscar winning director Raoul Peck . You will find a few minutes of film in episode 3 , from 7 minutes in of the Sudan collection recreating parts if the battle of Omdurman. Myself , Martin and James spent 3 days in Paris in 2019 where we set it up and worked with the crew , cinematographer and director to create the scenes they wanted . 3 days had been distilled into about 3 minutes of footage. It was a real insight into the work that goes on making film/TV shows. 

Here’s a few stills 

 

 

 

 







And the team are in the credits 

 

A great experience overall
