Sunday again.

Another Sunday and yet another lack of anything of any substance to post.

I am still suffering from Bronchitis and my attention span is still so short that I can hardly concentrate long enough to tie my shoes, let alone do much towards my hobby. All I have done this week is half-build two tank turrets. I have also managed to base coat the armoured part of four Grymn troops.

That is it.

Not a lot is it?

I've also tidied up an army list...

Well...there you have it.

See you when I see you.

Tuesday.

I shouldn't be posting today because I should be at work...but thanks to Bronchitis, I have been told to go home for the week so it would appear that I have an opportunity to make use of.

I doubt very much if I'll be doing any hobby stuff because my focus is completely shot and as soon as I try to concentrate on anything...I wander off...so not a lot will be going on.

I did, however, notice that Inso's World has gained another follower so I am pleased to welcome CLAM to my humble Blog. Welcome CLAM, I hope you enjoy your stay and maybe find something to inspire you to works of genius!

Well, that's about it for today...

See you across the wobbly fields!

Sunday...Cut, Glue, Cut, Glue...

Something simple to fill the post today. I decided to just unwind a bit and do a bit of plasticard model making. I generally pick up a sheet, take a few measurements and go where the muse takes me. This time I wanted to make four identical APCs (well, as identical as can be had hand measuring and cutting). So far, I have got two to a stage where they are ready for tracks and detailing:

I want four identical hulls, two will be APCs that will carry 8 Grymn and a driver, the other two will have a small turret and carry 4 Grymn a driver and gunner. They will be a Platoon's worht of armoured vehicles, the APCs for the troops and the IFVs for the command and support sections.

I have purchased a set of tracks for the tanks (with more on the way) so I should have enough to finish 3, if not all of them.

So, there you have it. Cut, glue, cut, glue...helps keep Inso grounded :).

Well, it's only a short one today but I can be forgiven, can't I?

See you on the other side.

Friday

Before things really got started, they quickly faded away.

I'm sorry to say that our baby news has turned from joy to sadness...my wife has had a miscarriage and unfortunately the baby is no more.

There isn't really much more I can say.

If there aren't as many updates as normal, please be patient.

See you through the mist.

Back to Hobby Stuff

It's Sunday evening again and it is time for a bit of an update.

I have had a torrid week with one thing and another and as a result, I haven't had a chance to sort out the stamp for the 15mm guns that I was planning. It is a shame but that is life. I'm sure I will get around to it very soon.

I have been cruising the forums again and have seen one or two things that have caught my eye.

First of all, I was over at the WIP forum and saw an awesome array of scratch-built tanks that have fired my enthusiasm. As a result, I have ordered a set of track-links from E-Bay and when they arrive, I will be building a few tanks of my own. Why? Who knows? But it is an itch I will have to scratch before I get on with other things (whether it works or not).

Secondly, I was reading a thread over at the Forum of Doom about a Grymn army and how it should be organised. This, coupled with the scratch-built tanks, has led me to return my efforts to my own Grymn Urban army. As a result, I have just completed another section of close combat, jump troopers:

These will finish of the two squads for the platoon and what I have painted so far is now pictured below:

I now have a support section (four troops) and a command section (four troops) to go and that will be the assault platoon finished. That also means that I won't have to paint the camo scheme again (as I can treat these as an attached unit) so I should feel more inclined to paint more Grymn (which is always a good thing).

Currently, the support section has been based and the command section still needs to be. They are all little more than undercoated at the moment but that will change soon.

On to other things and I have a second To'ok on the painting table at the moment and he is looking extremely yellow. I just have to add the details and he is done. The Belog is getting painted bit by bit too. I have edged his armour now...but I have done litle more than add basecoats for the colours so far.

So...there you have it. It seems the sculpting bug has left me for the time being...but that is the way the muse goes, I'm afraid. Hopefully it will return soon so that I can finally finish the 15mm Dwarfs...

See you in the bar!

Remembrance Sunday.

I wanted to write a separate post for Remembrance Sunday.

Ignore all the politics. Ignore all the protests. Today we remember those who have fallen in combat. They fell carrying out their duty, for their country.

From WWI to the present day, many of our military personnel and those who support them, have selflessly given their all, whilst carrying out their duty.

A Tribute to the Fallen:

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

I will remember them.

AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!

HA! That got your attention!

Here's a To'ok from Spartan Games!

He's a pirate!

See you when I'm back.
