You know, Empea has a certain ring to it.
yeah…..kind of like a hill billy saying empty….
my best were the ones water got for me from that store that had them 50% off…..the black gold emperor and ruby scratching….for still less than just buying an emperor…
the worst was a broken flion for $100 and something….I fixed him up and resold him….but his left wing was broke in half and they superglued it crooked….and I had to fill…..carve……fill…..carve and paint….I did sell it for just under $100 so it was pretty cool…

Now I just paint around the eyes, and if I get any paint on them, it comes off very easily when scraped with a fingernail or a toothpick.
same here…..and I’ve found that most of the things at michaels are old and not very good anymore….bought some golden paints there….and they ended up being old and half dried….making clumps on my current PYO kirin….making me have a bad attitude trying to get it all off and start over…so now the scales are not absolutely smooth…. 😡
as for masking….I don’t use it at all it’s too expensive……and the eyes are actually pretty easy just to clean up….
