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.

Airpower!

A little diversion from normal here. 15mm WW2 Luftwaffe & Red Airforce. These are for Gerry over at the his "Situation Room" project. A truly tremendous commitment to his hobby. 400 square feet of playing surface, 1000's of trees, 100's of buildings , and 1000's and 1000's of figures. All good fun & great to see the progress he is making expanding the collections.

So it has been out with the airbrush to do this little lot. So here is a little aircraft recognition test for you - ok I have named them for you. Models were 15mm by Command Decision.

 Me109
 Fw190
 Me109
 Me110
 Ju87D

 Mig 3
 Polikarpov I-153
 Polilarpov I-16
 La5
 Yak 9
 LaGG3
 Pe2
  Il2

Took a deal of work , and the waterslide transfers took a fair bit of time, but very happy with the end results. Looking forward to seeing the results of the aerial battles at the Situation Room
