Planking is, according to Wikipedia is is “an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game.” While a lot of people or orgs claim to have invented or “discovered” this popular phenomenon, here’s MY OWN TAKE on Planking…

Trying My Hand At Miniatures Painting

Photobucket

A couple of months ago, I purchased this awesome board game from Fantasy Flight, Mansions of Madness. “Mansions” is an H.P. Lovecraft (Cthulhu) themed game where you play the role of investigators. One player will be the “Keeper” to direct the story and progress the plot. It’s a great synergy of table-top RPG and boardgames and me and my buddies, love it!

Anyways, the boxed set came with a lot of unpainted minis. So I decided to try and paint them….

In Progress: C3PO Vinyl Model Kit 1/6 Scale

Wohooo! Long weekend. Time to catch up on my model kit projects. It’s easy to just buy action figures or statues and pop ‘em inside your display case at home or in the office. But to me, it becomes fulfilling when you do it yourself.

Anyways, this here is part of my haul of Star Wars 1:6 scale vinyl kits. I already finished Darth Vader, Han Solo and Princess Leia. Both R2-D2 and this one, C3P0 will go in simple diorama which will be a nice addition to my Star Wars collection…

Finished: 1/6 Scale Joker Vinyl Kit

Me and a group of friends recently had a “group buy” and ordered online for a BUNCH of vinyl model kits. I got a couple of Star Wars kits to complete my collection (Artoo and Threepio) while my other friends got their own stuff. One of them got a fine Joker vinyl kit and he asked me to model and paint it for him (since he doesn’t know how).

So, after 3 weeks of cutting, assembling and painting, the work is finally done.
