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.

Gaming - 7DTTRR , airfield assault - at Battleground 2024!

 Today saw a run out to our local show. As we have played at lot of 7 Days this year it seemed appropriate to do something with it and get some of everyone’s collection on the table . I had also talked Bren into adding some terrain bits, security fencing , barriers , ATC tower etc. 


The basic premise after one of my mad ideas was a civilian airfield that had been put to emergency use with air corp units from West Germany , Brits , France , Dutch and US being bounced by a Soviet Para air assault .. yeah bunkers but it looked good !

We had a good day chatting to people . The show was hit by some snowy weather hitting across the NE which impacted people getting there , but it seemed busy enough as the day went on. 

Time for a new project focus over the winter I think
