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 - Panzer Grenadier transport & Tigers

 It’s been a while since I painted stuff for this collection and some has been sat base coated  for a good while , namely the half tracks and other transport. I decided to get them done and move things along,  I also had a couple of Tigers that were built already that needed a paint job . 

Twenty vehicles completed altogether . 11x251 variants , 2x250 , 2 20mm AA , 2 tractors and a Kubelwagon , plus the two Tigers . In addition I had two 3d printed bunkers that needed completing too .

 
Done in classic 3 colour camo with the airbrush.


 
I had to raid the bits box for stowage and crew/passengers - I just had enough . 



With the 80th anniversary of D Day just around the corner we will be playing some more games this year using this collection so it’s great to have these done . There isn’t much left to add to ‘44 period , perhaps some Marders , and some towed artillery - but no rush for these .
