It's been a LOOOONG Saturday.

Inso has recently returned from visiting his family after a six hour round trip and is pretty tired after the drive. He has sent this pic over so he has been able to do a little hobby work today but says that he is definitely having a night off and going to bed early:



The pic is of the fifth mystic warrior, Pete...well he's going to join them even though he doesn't happen to be wearing the robe!

Apart from that, there is nothing more to add. No parcels, no E-bay bids and no other painting.

There are plans afoot for a drop ship...but you don't want to know about that...do you? It will be called a Pilum (like the Roman javelin) and will carry up to 16 troops...but that's enough of that; you wouldn't be interested in knowing what it looks like...

Catch you later!

Sunday...or Monday Eve...

God it's depressing, isn't it? You work all week to have the weekend off and then BOOM!...it's Monday again.

Well what happened today? A new paint job started. A fifth Mystic Warrior has been cleaned up, based and undercoated. There is the odd patch of base-coat colour but Inso hasn't got much more than that done. Of course, there isn't ACTUALLY a fifth Mystic Warrior yet so Inso had to convert one. He's told me not to say too much more so what I will say is that it will have face paint like the others and also has a sword. Not a lot but that's all your getting for now.

The other four Mystic Warriors got some varnish.

We've had a typical English day today. We've had brilliant sunshine, freezing cold, hail, snow and rain all in one day. It's great being English!

Catch you later.

OK...it's Saturday...

Sorry about missing a couple of days but nothing was forthcoming from Inso so there was not a lot of point posting. Having said that, Inso has had a busy couple of days. He has written more Grymn fiction and posted it in the Hasslefree Fluff section of the Forum of Doom so if you are interested in a bit of light reading, check it out.

Inso has also managed to finish painting his Mystic Warriors. Here's a pic of Mystic Kieran:

And here's a pic of the warriors all together:



There's not a lot more to say so I'll catch you tomorrow.

An early Tuesday post.

Inso has said that he will not have anything to show off today as he has some homework to do so I thought I'd post early today.

The three mystic warriors that he has been painting over the last couple of days have had a few adjustments made to them. After some suggestions on the Forum of Doom and on here, Luke and Meg have been black-lined and Jen has had shading added to her red cowl. When the fourth (and final) mystic warrior is finished, a picture of all four will be posted to show the improvements.

Keiran (the final mystic warrior) has been started but is unlikely to see much paint tonight.

...I forgot to mention that Inso had some more Void minis turn up from E-bay yesterday. They were a boxed set of five Vasa marines. They were sent as painted minis and are in a lovely shade of purple. Needless to say, they will be dropped in paint-stripper and re-painted before they grace any army of Inso's. They are similar to the Viridian marines that he already has (apart from the fact they have helmets and knee-pads) and will easily fit into the same army...maybe as veterans or something.

Not long now until Salute...Inso is getting very excited about going to London for the day. You never know, he may bump into you!

Catch you later.

Monday Mystic.

I got this pic sent through today. It is the third of the Mystic children and is also the tiniest:


The picture isn't great but Inso assured me he took loads of pix and this was the result of the best ones...

He had nothing more to say apart from 'only one more to go!'.

Catch you tomorrow!

Sunday...an hour earlier than it should be!

The clocks went forward an hour last night. It's British Summertime. Of course it rained today!

Inso has painted the first of his Mystic Warriors and is unlikely to finish any more today so I thought I'd post early today. This one is queen Jen Amidala:


She is only the same height as a Grymn and her face is tiny so god knows how he painted the make up...Inso says that it looks better in the flesh (so it sounds like he isn't that happy with it). I'll leave it up to you to decide whether it works or not.

Well, that's it for now.

See you tomorrow...

...Or not. Inso just sent this over to me and swears that it is his last for tonight. It's Young Mystic Meg and can you believe it is even smaller than the last one:


Definitely bye for now!

Another Saturday...

Well, things have been almost as quiet as expected. Inso has been busy enjoying family life today so hasn't really done too much of his hobby.

The only thing he has done is completely change direction and has based and undercoated four Mystic Warriors from Hasslefree Miniatures. If you are unfamiliar with the miniatures, check out the HF site and look in the shop in the Pirate section. Inso has the four Mystic Warrior children and is already thinking about paint schemes.

So far the base has been painted brown and is waiting for the dry brush. The miniatures are undercoated in white.

Apparently, the plan is to give the minis different coloured face paint. The thing is that they resemble Jedi from Star Wars and some of the alien Jedi look really cool so the easy way of replicating the look (without converting the miniatures) is to give the minis face paint...simple really.

So...which one will be Darth Maul then? We'll just have to wait and see.

Catch you later.

Oh, by the way, if you check out the Forum of Doom, go to the Hasslefree Fluff section and check out the threads: 'A little bit of Grymn fluff: Kjaran' and 'A little bit of Grymn fluff: Pjotir', you'll be reading the stories Inso wrote while he was on his course...Enjoy!
