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.

Holidays - Brittany and Normandy

Catching up with the late summer break . We had a few weeks R&R in NW France  , as usual we took in historical visits . We stayed in inland Brittany at the historic town of Josselin. In Normandy  we were in the Calvados region, staying at Crépon just behind Gold Beach.

The chateaux at Josselin ,an easy walk from the property

The Breton resistance museum was excellent , along with its SAS display
