One man and his brushes.: Dystopian Times

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.

Dystopian Times - Part 1 Communications tower

This post seems the start of new project. This will be some skirmish gaming for future sci-fi dystopian world.

I picked up some bundles of MDF kits when I was at the Crisis show a few years ago and they have lain in the “to do” pile - it somehow feels appropriate to kick this project off now

This piece is 8 inches diameter by 15 inches high.

I have made this piece into a communications tower. The centre of the build is a Pringles tube. The top part is a recycled yoghurt pot . I have added a piece of car aerial with a wired in red LED to the top . The battery box, switch and wiring are in contained in the pot . This part is removable as well .

This piece was from Products for Wargamers . It went together pretty well

The stash that remains to be built
