Neeeeeooooowwww!

Hello and welcome to Inso's World again.

It has been a very nice week of things... including a lovely works BBQ at the boss's house and a very cool trip.

So today the blog update is late because I have not long returned from taking my lovely wife to see the British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The day started at 03:15 with an alarm that was far too early but enabled us to travel in relative quiet and arrive at the circuit just in time to see the gates open. We saw three races (GP3, GP2 and Porsche cup) before the main event and even though there were some very heavy rain showers (we were well protected due to our polythene ponchos) I still managed to get sunburn.

The main race was great... made even better because Lewis Hamilton won. I took a load of pics and a couple of videos but I am really tired so I have only uploaded a couple... however, I have a short video:



The reason we went was because my wife is an obsessive F1 fan and is a mad fan of Lewis Hamilton. This is the first time she has ever been to an F1 race and she absolutely loved the whole day... especially because Lewis won... which was brilliant.

In other news, I have got a little further with my commission sculpt and also my mysterious sculpt...

He's certainly getting there...

See you from my bed!

A slow one.

Hello again and welcome to Inso's World after what has been a very slow week.

Since the first five of the Veteran Tyranid Hunters were posted, I have not really been in the mood for much hobby time... especially seeing as I had the Summer Ball to go to on Friday.

Obviously, the Summer Ball is an annual event where our mess holds an all night ball with music, live bands, dancing, great food, a free bar, dodgems, fairground rides... the list goes on... So Friday night was very much a case of partying the night away with my wife and friends, having 'survivors' breakfast at aroung 03:30hrs and then taking the winding path home. Saturday was a very leisurely affair and today hasn't been much better but every once in a while, it does you good to chill out and be a slob.

So... what hobby stuff have I been up to?

Well... I have bulked out the replacement commission sculpt and I have been working on the remaining five bodies for the Veteran Tyranid Hunters. They are all at the same stage now... ready for the faces to be sculpted and the helmets to be cleaned up before the arms and packs are glued on:

In other news... I have had another distraction. A distraction so cunning that you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox. A third detachment for my army! Yes a third detachment. A detachment that will only involve four models. It certainly isn't a big detachment... but it is a very hard hitting one... so be sure to watch out for it in future posts.

I know... it's another very short post this week but I am hopeful that I will have some great stuff for the next post... which won't be on Sunday because... I'm off to the Silverstone F1 Grand Prix with my 'completely obsessed with F1' wife... so that will be fun.

Then of course... there is Cornwall, house hunting, mortgage seeking and cider drinking...


The wheels of life are certainly turning!

See you from the bullet train!
