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.

Painting Challenge - Finis

Curts winter painting challenge has finally worked its way to the end. It has been a real fun 3 months.


Hats off to Ray & Kent for the sheer number of figures finished and the quality as well - well done guys.

Curt - It must have been a hectic time - especially the last few days - thanks again for the original inspiration and keeping it all in order.

I  managed a respectable 1975 points - with a wide variety of entries which I really enjoyed doing. I did have a few hundred more worth planned for the final week - but you know the way that things kind of get in the way - well they did. But I was more than happy with the showing. I also have really enjoyed the cameraderie and community spirit engendered by it - uniting us around the globe.

One lesson I will take from it is the sheer variety of themes and periods there is out there, and some cracking figures to be painted. I look forward to the next one. More prep work will be done before starts! May be we should take it in turns hosting one.

I look forwards to seeing some of the further judging results as they come in - so many high quality entries to choose from it will be fun to see how they go.

Well done to all the participants & thanks for sharing your work
