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.

Anglo Zulu Wars . InGobamakhosi - Benders of kings .

 The next unit has been completed . This is the biggest Zulu regiment which was around 4000 strong in 1879 . As we are doing a ratio of around 1/20 it’s 200 ish figures . I am going with what looks good on a base so it took 212 . Laid out it has a frontage of 360mm , though could extend to 500mm+ if needed. 

 

It has a mix of 4 shield designs which I have recreated.









 

So that is now 2 of the 3 units for the left horn . The 3rd is under way .
