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.

VBCW - The Telegram Rifles

Something a little left field this time. Last year Martin C set up large Very British Civil War game for the lads of the Old Guard. I wanted to get some figures to contribute for a next outing. While looking around for some other items I came across the Ironclad Miniatures site which has some interesting sets for it.

I went for the Telegram Rifles - which seemed fitting given I work for the company descended from the GPO.



They consist of a mix of rifles , a Lewis gun a Thompson, plus a communications section - complete with wicker basket and pigeon.


They are nice clean sculpts and have come out nicely.


back to some more traditional stuff next

    Great to see you finally painting some proper historicals, Dave ;-) They look awesome, with their blue and red stripes. Great basing too. Marvellous work.

    Great work Dave! I sense a dangerous lack of camels though.

    They look very good. Interesting sculpts on them too. I am roking on my VBCW forces as well. I had hoped to have a good force sorted by Christmas but that's come and gone. Ah well...
