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.

The 20 Questions

Ok, it seems rude not to join in. So here you are - the window to the soul.




20.   The miserable Git question, what upsets you?
So little time - so many things to paint

wind turbines - don't work when there is no wind , and not if it's too windy - so you you need a power station to back them up - hmm...
middle lane hoggers! 
cold callers.
that's enough for now.

    The Fruite de Mer looks like a stomach ache! I would be tempted to dump the food and run for the door with the boat for a miniature project!

    Great stuff!

      Crab,Lobster, Crayfish, Langoustines , prawns, oysters, clams, mussles, whelks - all to be washed down with a rather fine bottle of Sancerre!

    Wow that's a lot of seafood!
    Good book choice too.
    Ah yes Wind turbines, say no more, 'blot on the landscape' too? Not so eco friendly afterall, plus the carbon foot print of building, installing, maintaining no doubt!
    Solar panels are similar - great in theory, but huge 'carbon footprint' in just making the darn things to start with!

      It was a lot of seafood! Mind it was for 4 people. A place in France , on the way to Napoleons last stop in France in 1815 , the Isle de Aix. It was a real find.

      Reminds me i need to root a a Tom Clancy for holiday reading. I might just re-read RSR.

      cheers Scott!

    Interesting answers. Monash...forgot about him. A true genius. I remember being massively impressed when reading about what he did in WW1 a while back. An amazing General.
    The Seafood boat looks yummy!
    Cheers
