Cool! My mom wants all the hoofers, and I planned on getting her the pegasi in black. For some reason, I think they work better than the unicorns do in black.
Hey, don’t feel bad. 😀 I’ve paid probably WAY too much for some of mine, recently even when I can’t claim ignorance. And I probably will in the future. They’re worth what they’re worth to you, and what you’re willing/able to pay at the time, that’s all.
There are no too few, we all started somewhere. I only have 16 that are mine, but I love them as much as anyone’s collection.
Here’s my newest addition as of this week, an emerald coiled mother. I was worried she wouldn’t get here, but she did! (leaves the peacock riser the only regular productin piece I need for my Western dtagon collection yay!)
She does have a couple fleabites- I figured maybe on the emerald parts I’d try mixing some bright green with green interference to touch it up. One is where there is some gold wash overlay, though. Would gold interference work for that, or should I really dilute some gold paint?Thanks so much for all the lovely comments! 😀 I was feeling rather poorly about him after the lukewarm reception he got. If my mother or a friend don’t end up taking him, I’ll go ahead and ebay him- after I find the missing felt pad for his bottom lol. That’s what I get for setting him aside!
Maybe I can try the dragon for me now! And I do have an idea for a griffin, which would be sent on to a new home.
I FINALLY finished my 1st PYO I got back in February. It’s a wolf that I painted from photos of my fiance’s old husky. I was going to give it to him, but he doesn’t seem to really like it, so it’ll either go to my mom (who does) or a friend, or I’ll try eBaying it. (when it started getting the “well, if you changed this” and I don’t know about ____, try that” I’d set it aside, I never like my own stuff anyhow)
The Golden glaze I’d gotten said ‘satin’, but it was thick, and dried glossy. Think I’ll go back to the cheapo spray-on stuff I used when I made some crafts.
Misty, my fiance’s old dog and model for the PYO.
(lost image can try to refind)I really like how the horns and claws are colored like the dragon, not gold (or silver). He’s beautiful.
Oooh! Somebody else does want an old green SK! She would just look sOOoo awesome with my old green emperor! (he likes ’em big)
If a couple do come out, even if eBay’ed hugely-expensive solid core ones, I’ve been getting extra hours recently, my CC just gave me a big increase, and I’m going for it.Off topic- do they allow factory drop in visits? I recently had a layover in L.A., and if I’d been able to get away from the airport, I thought of trying to visit. Probably won’t be out that way again though.
Squeak old green SK squeak! Though I think I’m alone on that one.
I like the peacock on the Spectrals actually. Everything else I own is either old green if possible or emerald/empea if not, but peacock seems to suit the Spectrals’ spookiness better. I would think BEP would look great on them also.
I only have the sitting Spectral, but plan on ordering the riser ASAP.I already have an empea OW, and he IS beautiful!
I’ve not been really ‘into’ the griffins, but wow! This guy is the best I’ve seen yet- even better than the Sun/Moon family! The first that ever really tempted me.
I especially love that he reflects a harpy eagle- it makes the ear tufts really work.
Best of luck at hte eye doctors!Yeah- apparently, even if you buy insurance, if the post office thinks it wasn’t packed properly (which when it’s a claim apparently means a nuclear warhead dropped on it wouldn’t faze it) they’ll deny the claim. I bought a dragon once which was very well double boxed, but the outer carton was damaged when it got here (and of course the dragon was smashed despite all the packing). It took me almost 6 months of fighting the denied claim to get my money. All the post office fighting it, the seller was very helpful to me.
