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.

Sudan - Brigade Square

 Progress is going well now, with the enough troops to create a decent sized brigade square. Millsy asked for a full size picture , so here you are..All the troops here are Connoissuer Miniatures


I have another brigade to complete, it's all primed and ready to go. This one will mainly be Perry figures. There are also two Hussar units , one of which the horses are now done. There are also skirmish bases underway to. I should finish this lot all by March.





That will leave me the Camel Corp ( which are going to be expensive to source as mounted and dismounted required)and a steamer (got my eye on the Sarissa one - but may scratch build) to  complete the Imperial forces.

    Dave, you paint your 28mm faster than I do 6mm, and your results are still infinitely better than mine :-) Clearly you are a master of this hobby and the Sheik of the Sudan in my books. Have a top New Year!

    That square is just stunning Dave. Looking forward to the camels and I, too, have my eye on that steamer - just looks so cool! Happy New Year my good man.

    Yep, that looks pretty splendid! It'll need a *lot* of dervishes to tackle these boys - but then you *have* a lot, don't you :-) ?

      Thanks Hugh, but rally one must have at least a 1000 of the beggars to make it work while.
