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.

Blog Con - Day 2

First off , a very big thank you to Wargames Foundry for giving us a great venue and endless tea and coffee. I stocked up on spare lead for the mountain. Likewise thanks James for the original idea and getting it set up. Plans are already afoot for next year.

I am sure there is a joke in these first few photographs about The Good, The Bad , and The Ugly....

 James and Fran
 Lee and Ray

A further run out of Blazing Dice , with big Lee making his escape with his bounty on the train.Great game.
 Who let the cows out ?-- well that would be Loki!




Our Very British Civil War game , hosted by Panzerkaput




 My lads attempt to outflank Lee's boys in blue - failing miserably!






 Ray wonders what PK is about to do with the Morris Dancers?

A great intro to VBCW, with beautiful figures and terrain by PK

BLOG-CON planning.

Well its fast approaching. I have sourced for us our very own banner so you will be able to take photographs under it.






I went to Foundry last weekend - it looks a great facility for us. As there are also some great offers on for buying figures. I am sure there will be a an outbreak of "SHINEYBLOODYITIS" with all those tempting goodies.

I am working on repackaging the cowboy collection so I can carry as much as possible with me . But if anyone wants to see anything in particular in the flesh let me know and i will be sure to pack it.
