One man and his brushes.

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.

Ardennes’44 - US infantry platoon .

I have a game booked in with the guys this coming weekend and needed to uplift the US Infantry . I have completed a platoon with extra LMG and Mortar support . This should make a bit more of a challenge for Kampfgruppe Bren to bank its head against .

I have done them with a straight winter base as the various urban/rural bases on order are taking a while to arrive

The table is being made ready for a club game .

AZW - Zulus 1000 of em!

Another 4 units completed for the Zulu army . Which takes me up to just over 1000 Zulus painted ./

‘Coming at You”

Beehive

The Reeds

The White Tails

The 4 new units

The full army

The Horns of the Buffalo

Not having to paint cavalry and artillery makes it a change alright

Chest and Loins units

Right Horn

Left Horn

I need to add some rifle armed skirmishers , and I have enough figures for one more unit and some commanders . But that’s enough for now I think . Martin and I are planning the campaign out at the moment.

Martins invasion forces are also completed
