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.

Ronin #8 for Curt

I completed this lad as the entry fee for Curts 3rd Annual Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge . The figure is by Zenit Miniatures , and is a really detailed sculpt. I wanted something with a little colour to it to draw the eye, so settled on a more muted dark colour for the armour with some of the details picked out in red, yellow and white.






So thats it for the various mixed stuff for the challenge - one for unusual entry to do over the period.

There is potentially the first show attendance of the year coming up this weekend at York , not sure if I am going or not yet - but if any of you good readers are let me know - it would be nice to arrange a meet if i get there.

    The detail against the dark armour works well Dave. A unit painted like this would be superb. I watched 'The Last Samurai' on Friday and seeing this little chap has got me tempted to start yet another new period.
    Cheers,
    Pat.
