Polys and Lunas?

In the running for most impractical game board pieces, I've made a Naughts and Crosses (aka Tic-Tac-Toe) game out of Polyphemus and Luna moth caterpillar faces. They are small (4-5mm wide) and light enough to occasionally randomly bounce around due to static electricity.

 

The wee paint brush is for moving your pieces around. It's either deeply relaxing or supremely aggravating, I haven't decided yet.

 

On the plus, if you've lost ten games in a row and are on your way to losing the eleventh, a light sneeze will send all the pieces scattering to the wind, ending the game in a technical draw.

 

Technical Info:

-A bare SB80dx camera left and up, another one camera right and below for some backlighting.

-Triggered with rf602s.

-The Poly's are brown, Lunas greenish yellow, all 4th instar for those keeping track.

-The caterpillars were done with their faces, they drop them as the shed to continue growing.

-It's very blizzardy out, and a hobby is vital to stave off the shack whackies.
