Munny I is scared!!! part two

I finally finished the Munny today..

..so after the ocher undercoat I applied my patented wood grain effect all over the figure...

..then once that dried I painted on the face, with a sky blue and baby pink facial tattoo. At this point my good-lady-wife exclaimed "what's happened he's stopped being cute, now he's scary". I think the next one will be cuter but this one is the practice Munny.

So the finishing touches, three layers of spray gloss paint, a bit of superglue and a wooden plinth. The necklace the Munny is wearing is a dog tooth I found on the road in Fiji, which I didn't quite smuggle back through customs I just forgot it was in my back pocket, I don't think it was from an endangered dog, just a dog that might have to start brushing more regularly or drink soup.

The most difficult part of the project was finding the plinth, I tried to find an ornament in a charity store I could salvage one off, but ended up having to go to model shops. Where I discovered that some stores "don't do those things, you want a military model shop!".
I should have guessed where you find geeks you find geek cliques. That'll teach me to try and buy millitaria supplies in a train/doll house store.

Munny I is scared!!! part one

A commission piece for my brother this time, he handed me this vinyl figure the other week and went "make this Tiki", and then he went "you can get bigger ones, and a car and a rabbit", so I think I'll be engaged in painting for him for sometime.

The Munny from Kid Robot

Poor disassembled Munny, reminds me of the children in Titus Andromicus.

Fooling around while painting, sort of looks like Marylin Manson.

Shiny wet undercoat, the colour of old bones.

Shadows over Hawaii

Another great artist mixing up the Cthulhu and Tiki is Hawaiian Brad Parker aka Tiki Shark, his painting "Forbidden Island" depicts very desirable Cthulhu Tiki mug, that I'm frankly surprised that no tiki mug manufacturers have picked up and produced it.

Sorry! Aye Right!!

We took a travel set of "Sorry" with us when we went around the world, sometimes it got crazy competitive between me and the missus, cards slamming to the table and foul language and threats too my life, yup the missus gets seriously competitive.
But then again we play "Sorry" by Kiribati rules and use real playing cards instead of sorry cards, so it get to be like poker.

What 10 games should really be called, but not all the renames are funny, but the Sorry one is spot on!

My little shopping

Every week that my wife goes to the supermarket with her father, she tries to reverse shoplift a "My Little Pony" toy into the shopping trolley, to make up for the ones she wasn't allowed to have as a child.

Her father always spots it before the checkout and places it out her reach on top of the supermarket shelves or hides it behind inappropriate products elsewhere in the store. I wonder if the staff have realized that they are the reason the "My Little Pony" wander all over the store.

Today her dad was unavailable to do the shopping with her and we had to do the shopping by ourselves, but were warned no "My Little Pony" were to be bought.
So we decided instead to re-brand some choice products, and to extra annoy him we added bad spelling and cutesy spelling to the labels.
