😯 What he did not want to be painted in more colors so ducked to avoid your paintbrush and spilled some paint on himself instaid? 😯 🙄 😉
0_0 Oh no!! And after you’ve been working on his so long already! I hope it’s not serious…

-J R R TolkienThe last batch of blanks that were shipped to me were, somewhat alarmingly, not shipped in their cardboard custom-formed boxes. One of my lap dragons shattered and I thought she was the only casualty. Unfortunately this OW has a hidden wound- he must have had a hairline fracture when he was shipped and I didn’t notice until I was done with him and wiping the antique off. Because you have to press slightly when wiping the antique off, that bit of extra pressure made the fractured spot come off like a glacier. AGHHH! Luckily it was a very small area and I was able to repair it completely. So I guess this guy isn’t mint anymore (though from looking you really can’t tell it even happened), but he is ‘as new’ and will come from the factory, so it depends on your definition of mint.
I wouldn’t even mention it but I like to be 100% honest about the work I do.

😯 How’d they get out without their forms! Yikes! I’m glad you were able to fix him!
I wouldn’t consider him “mint”, but I’d consider him to be on the same level. He was repaired by Windstone staff (you :)) prior to sale, and you’ve disclosed that fact. *shrug* Dunno ’bout others, but that’s good enough for me. My BVF OW is the same way… it’s weird to read the COA since I can’t tell where the damage was (the auction said where).I’m sure that probably gave you a pretty good scare, when that piece came off him!
He might not exactly be mint anymore… but I have no doubt that he’ll still do extremely well on Ebay for you. 🙂You may not consider him mint anymore but I think I would because he was repaired by a Windstone person. I don’t think that would hurt his selling price because he is beautiful
