Feeling jaded...on Sunday.

For some strange reason, I decided I was going to partake of a few sips of port last night... and have been having a contemplative day today as a result. A lot of singing and chat... and a chilled out evening was had. Well... I had to sing because I had my Karaoke hat on:

I really needed the big fry-up I had today... that is a certainty.

So... I have now finished the Hasslefree Miniatures competition sculpt I was working on:

I have time to try a few more but I want to get other things finished so I can't spare the effort. One of the things I have to finish is this:

Click the Pic!

I am getting there... it will be a big headed caricature of a cyclist in Lycra/Spandex. It is coming together a lot quicker than the last one did... which is a good thing.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything else to add.

See you through the haze!

80,000? Surely not.

I've only gone and broken the 80,000 views total. Thanks to everyone who has visited and I hope that I can keep this little world going for another 80,000 views.

To celebrate, the sculpting on the gizzit is done:

The next job will be to paint him and base him on his nice wooden plinth... then put the plaque on and he's ready to be given as a gift. I am very happy to have him finished because he has taken an awful long time to sculpt (big stuff takes longer... I have learnt that now).

I have also started to add bits to my Grekwood sculpt. I thought I'd give him a pistol... so I did. He is a leftie now...

The pistol is a Hasslefree Miniatures one and I think it suits the sculpt.

Finally, the Hasslefree Competition sculpt is progressing:

Just the arms to finish now. Not bad seeing as I started sculpting this on Sunday... I have deliberately made her a bit chunky because she will be equipped for close combat. I hope to have her finished for Sunday's post but I have some commitments in between now and then so we'll have to see if I can manage it.

That is about it for now.

See you from the bridge of The Obituary!

Monday... a sculpting day.

I got up this morning after a near sleepless night thinking about the sculpting I have to get done and decided to put a day's leave in and stay at home.

Once that plan had been completed, I started on some sculpting and managed to get the head finished on my main sculpt:

Click the Pic!

It isn't a perfect likeness by a long chalk... but it will serve its purpose. I just need to finish the easy bits now so I am really happy that it has got as far as it has.

Seeing as today was a sculpting day, I also threw some putty on the Grekwood sculpt and the Space Dwarf sculpt... but not enough to warrant a picture. This cannot be said of my Hasslefree Miniatures competition sculpt... she has progressed quite a lot:

The picture sort of gives the game away... yes, she is a female Sleiti. I still have to add some bits to her waist and then finish her hair and arms. I am thinking that she will have a shield and a ranged weapon... obviously bio-weapons of some kind. She'll have a ponytail and pointy ears too. I was originally going to call her Joo'an (can anyone guess why?) but I am not so sure...

See you from the farm!

Another Sunday.

Before I start today's post, I'd like to welcome Maj. Diz Aster to Inso's World. I hope that you find something of interest as you stroll around the paths and feel free to comment on posts.

This has been another slow week, I'm afraid. Visits to college, family fun (and family trials), a dead gold fish (that we had taken to Cornwall, Northern Ireland and Oxford on our travels), shopping in torrential rain to get more goldfish... of which one didn't make the transfer from shop to our tank...

On the plus side, I received my little parcel from Hasslefree miniatures and have now started my competition conversion:

Actual pic Size!

As you can see, I have only just started the conversion work but I thought I'd get a pic to prove that I started out with the base model because she will be completely covered when I am finished. I am saying no more about her other than she will be sci-fi.

Next we have a small amount of progress on the second Space Dwarf:

Click the Pic!

Again, not a lot of progress but I have added boobs (which will be completely covered) so that I can gauge proportions, some knee pads and have started detailing the boots. 

I have been adding a bit of putty to my GW (Grekwood) sculpt and he is starting to take shape:

I have also been making good progress on the gizzit I am making for a friend at work:

Click the Pic!

I have been focusing on his face with a view to getting it finished before finishing the boring stuff. It is very hard to get just right but I am close. I need to add bulk to the top of his head, then add ears and then I'll be happy that I can continue. I have until 26th July to finish this (including paint, wooden base and etched plaque...) so it is my main focus at the moment. I am relying on my painting skills to cover up the abnormalities!!!

Finally, I have been adding to the other commission (no pix... it is secret) and that is progressing as well. Most of the work on all of the sculpting has been done today so I am quite pleased with the results so far. I still have a few hours yet!

Well... that is about it. I have places to go and things to do.

See you from the dog-leg trench!
