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 - Queens Own Cameron Highlanders

I have been revisiting the Sudan collection and plan to do a good few more units coming up. One of the last major British units I wanted to completed was the Camerons. I decided to do these in the classic red tunic as they fought in red at the battle of Ginnis.



The unit is 48 figures plus a mounted officer. I still have to complete a skirmish company for them - I thought I had the figures in stock , but turns not not - something to rectify at the York show.



The delights of how to paint the Tartan! 
This completes the 3 highland battalions for the Sudan. I want to complete one more British battalion , not sure which just yet , plus the New South Wales battalion.

Glad to get these completed - they took an age!

    Absolutely stunning Dave and reminds me very much of the wonderful red coated units that Dave Thomas had in his forces in done early Wargames Worlds. I think I might need to raise one of these myself Dave.

    Top stuff! They look exceptionally well.

    "I want to complete one more British battalion , not sure which just yet..."
    The answer to that should always be the Green Howards. Even if it would be erroneous!

    That looks like a lot of hard work. I think you must have a much steadier (and finer!) paintbrush than I have. Many congratulations on the end result; they're top quality!
