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.

Back of Beyond - Bolshevik Field Gun and Mounted officers

 First completed items of the new year are more Bolsheviks  for the Back of Beyond collection . First up a Field Gun to deal with those pesky interventionist forces armoured cars . 


76mm M1902 Field Gun . There are rumours there may be some gas shells in the vicinity.

 

Copplestone figures , a real joy to paint 


 

Next are 6 mounted officers . 2 painted with cavalry blue markings and 4 infantry red . They will be raising some nice fresh Red Guards shortly along with some Commisars 






 





That’s it for now
