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.
Go for the Eureka set after the Challenge then - 8 piece band including a Joanna and one of those folks who hangs around with musicians...oh, hang on a sec, Anne is one...errmm that is to say and 8-piece jazz band with a piano and a wonderful percussion artiste.
Very nice, as always :-) . I'm going to vote for "The Bix Baker Four", but you can find inspiration for the names of real jazz bands here: http://www.redhotjazz.com/bands.html
Lovely work again Dave. Your jazz quartet looks much better than my 8-piece jazz band :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin.. These were a challenge to paint for sure.. In fact I would like to spent more time doing another one some time ..
